M3 V DB9 on the M-way?

ROCKYJET · 02-13-2010, 03:41 PM

Hi guys,

Got a bit of a childish one for you here. I was driving up the M1 this afternoon when this lovely black DB9 came up behind me. He did want to pass me but I didn't move over as I wanted to see what he could do.

The traffic on the outside and middle lane was moderate so whilst I didn't let him through, I wasn't exactly holding him up either.

Soon, the space on the inside lane opened up and then Boom!

he's gone! At no point did I race him as quite frankly I know that 265 bhp does not go into 450 plus

I was very impressed with how he pulled away but it got me thinking though, how would the M3 fare against it? Same 0- 60 by the looks of it and whilst the DB9 has more bhp (Definitely not a DBS that passed me) I'm assuming its carrying a bit more ballast?

God I want my M3 like now!!!

i would have blown his doors off and you know what? he would have avoided the race just like that audi r8 did with me last week

But avoid the DBS folks - like the proverbial s**t off a shovel !

I raced an Aston a while back on the M1.. I cant tell you which one it was because im not so clued up on Astons... all I know is that we were both doing 175mph neck and neck before we caught the cars in front

Just dont tell my mum.
