I was headed east on 76 earlier tonight when a silver M5 with MD plates rolls up next to me to pass. I dropped into 3rd and floored it.... from his engine noise I could tell he was just cruising in 5th possibly 6th gear. He just rolled into the throttle without downshifting - it had so much torque he closed the 2 car gap in a split second. Now the fun begins...

I shift into 4th right as he catches up... after a second or so we are doing 100mph. Right as I hit triple digits, he double clutches into 3rd and unleashes 400 German V8 horses. He chirped. At 100mph.

The entire time I knew I had no shot - I'm not retarded. I simply wanted to entice him into smoking me so I could marvel at his car.

yea.... it was that scraping kinda noise tires make when they spin/slide but not squeal/chrip.... you know the sound.... but then it got drowned out by a big-*** revving at 6000rpm.

Damn...an M5...u should've known there is no way u can beat that unless the road gets complicated with corners. Thats when u can test their real abilities.
