I am sure some of you have seen this vid before. I showed it to Evan last weekend. The M3 doesn't even try to race him, but the dude takes off anyway and destroys his engine. Make sure your sound is up on this vid:

I wasn't going to flame anyone. Just sucks that that happened to a nice car such as the GSX.
