i'm notr flying at all these days, lost my job at the FBO back in april. I only worked delivery for a couple months this summer before someone backed into/over my fender and i blew headgasket. atm i'm an unemployed student.
i miss working with airplanes, just got done watching red bull air races
I never understood how i could work with multi-million dollar aircraft on a daily basis while earning only 6/hour.
even worse, i knew where the keys were to: F90 Kingair, C90 Kingair, Citation 500, C-414, C-172M, C-172SP, C-210, Navajo, plus another half dozen aircraftsupraguy@aol said:
Not that I needed half those keys, since they never locked the doors anyways...(they may pay 8 grand to have locking gas-caps installed so that people can't put shit in their tanks, but they don't lock their doors...)
M3's are quick for 240hp(195rwhp). They are fairly light(3250)and geared very short.
I had a great race with a late 90's M3 back when I had my SP61GT. I didn't even feel like racing but he kept reving at me at the light. Even gentally launching, I still spun all the way through second gear while passing right by him. I guess a 200rwhp advantage helps even though he was fighting pretty good. Like I said, there quick for 240hp.

Well, I've noticed that my car has gotten progressively slower over the last 2 years, I believe due to the mild rod knock issue, as well as a weakened overall compression. I've dropped my new block off at the shop last week, to have it bored/honed out for the probe pistons, then I can assembled the thing and get it in my car. THEN, I'll be looking for the M3's...

Supra is in blue and M3 is in red
His M3 is still faster on the highway due to weight and aero . Fastest I have been with him in the M is 165mph! It gets there quick too

A friend of mine has an e36 m3 with a shark injector chip, dinan intake, and a borla catback with gutted cats. He ran a 13.6. I will run him this weekend after i put my bic ddp, test p. and rsr in. I have an intake too. I should be able to keep up with him. Im not too far behind him now. I'll post here when I race him again, maybe a video too.
M3's do not launch well but at a rolling start say 40-60mph they take off like a bat out of hell. I know there documentation out there somewhere showing the 60-120 mph times.
I raced my friends m3, heres the thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=795405#post795405
