I hear ya, George ... the M3 is one sweeet ride and I'd love to come across one at 80 mph that I could outrun ... I'm glad I didn't pass a BMW dealership on my way to get my GLX ... I might have gotten myself in debt up to my eyeballs and gotten an M3 ... oh well, maybe I'll save up for the new M5 :)

no offense taken... but I have a good friend who owns his own business, and drives pretty darn good, and is far from a dope... yet my glx still pulls on him from 80 mph... now the guy at the track could have well been a dope.... still feels good to say that *I beat a M3 at willow*!!!!

No offense intended, but any M3 outun by a GLX must have been driven by a dope ...

Over the weekend I took a trip out to willow springs to race on the Streets
of Willow. In my run session, there were a couple M3's, GTI's, a turbo
scirroco, Nissan SER's, Honda Civics, Maxima's, a race prep Toyota, and
finally a couple of eclipse turbos. I had one of my friends drive during
the session. Needles to say.. the JETTA VR6 was undoubtedly the fastest car
out there. it out handled all of those cars, pulled the M3 on the straight,
swallowed the civic during the turns, and put fear in the eyes of all the
other divers. there was a gti vr6 there, which I felt bad for because it
was not doing to well on the faster turns.. the look on the guys face
driving the M3 was worth a million bucks as he was passed on the straight
away. this was the final test for the H&R coil overs..... AND I MUST SAY
THEY ROCK!!!!!!! IF YOU DONT HAVE THEM.... GET THEM!!!!!! the car
practically had no lean. I has running on toyo t1 plus tires, and they
handles darn good on the track.. I can only imagine what a set of race tires
would do. some of these cars have much faster 1/4 mile times, but here is
were the Jetta rules!!!
