Cool

My Boss drives a 4 door M3 I think a '98 or '99, anyway what are the specs for that car ? I know he's inquired others about the ownership of the IS 300, I bet he was surprised..hehe...Anyway, would the IS kick it's butt or what ?

Yup... Stock vs Stock the IS300 is no match for a new or older M3.

Thanks. Well.. I raced one just the other day. I edged maybe 1/2-3/4 car length on him from 0-80 and I was ahead of him the whole time. I think with the right driver one could still take me. It would be pretty close though. I havent run the 1/4 yet. I will soon just for fun but my thing is road racing

Rule #1. It's not good to be driving a nicer car than your boss You can bet he has already been on the phone with human resources "how much are we paying this guy?"
