Question E30 M3???

How fast is a ~89 BMW M3 (E30 style)? Sometimes in the morning on the way to school i get behind this guy in a red one and he will slow down when i am behind him just to **** me off, and then all of the sudden floor it. I want to know how fast they r from like 40 mph on, so if i ever catch him before i have to get behind him at the light (so if i ever get beside him), will i be able to pull away? I have a 92 SC3 auto w/ an intake.

I think i will be able to b/c i believe that these M3's were more curve oriented rather than straight line (but its still an M3 so i just wanna make sure)

The 89 M3 is a pretty rare bird, only 665 or so were produced. It has a 225hp motor and romps to 60 in 6.5 seconds. I would not waste my time with him, just let him wonder why his heat doesn't work and he only gets am radio stations

Im not sure if its an 89 or not, but it IS an E30 M3. I think these were made b/t 87-90 or 91.
