I personally in a 5at have beaten a manual 330... they are not fast. they never will be, he even had an exaust that sounded terrible i might add. That car simply is not fast, as far as him beating a g35, or a Z he either was driving with inexperienced drivers who could not effectively shift at the rate it takes too while racing, or he is smoking the ill [censored]... Im not going to lie though m3's are beautiful machines and i plan on owning one in the future..
