raced a bmw

lol so i am on the highway going to work and in the fast lane with a bit of traffic. a guy in a beemer is in front of me and as the traffic opens up to the right i get over and slowly start to move up to pass him. i see him step on it and not allow me to pass. This alone is enough to get the blood boiling, but he has the nerve to shake his head back and forth as if there is no way im gonna pass him. I knew it was on at that time and bumped up my juice to level 5 and waited. I stayed right on his tail in the fast lane until the traffic opened up, there was a good half mile of open road before more traffic. I immediately get in the right lane and start to move up on him, at the same time i see a bit of exhaust puffs coming out of his car so i knew he was starting to get on it. i get right up with him and he steps on it all the way as did I. As i let out a big puff of black smoke it was on and i had a grin from ear to ear as i felt the cummins pull like a Edit. I stayed right on his rear in the other lane for a good 1/4 mile until i felt my truck cut out. I looked down and i saw the speed at 108 and i thought oops. He started to pull away but then we were on traffic again and it was over. lol i could of swore i saw his eyeballs keep looking back at me in disbelief. he ended up getting over and off the highway. when he did, he tipped his hat as i went by. it was just a lil 325i bmw but i was proud of my truck hangin with a lil car half the weight like that

Good Sportsmanship by the beemer's driver. I like hearing about people being respectful after they lose/tie in a race. Gives you a sense of pride in your vehicle.

Too bad my truck has no fueling or turbo mods yet, I don't even try to race anyone.

I've beaten a 325 and a 330. One was a stick one was an auto. My friends that drove them didn't like me to much that night.

i raced a porsce carrera the other day, i was on the interstate running about 70 when he comes up behind me. so i pull over to the middle lane and let him pass. well he gets beside me and hits it. there was a car in front of me so i moved over to the slow lane and rolled into it. went back into the middle lane and beside him at 80 or so. he looks over at me with this grey pupon look on his face and hits it. it was awn then. i hit it and we were off, pretty even to 100 or so but at 130 i had almost a full lenght on him. i backed off and slowed down, he didn't even pass me till i pulled off at my exit.

I remember when my truck was in it's younger days, and there was a Lexus 400-something (same as my friend's mom, it's a fast 8cyl lexus) and we're at a light and he's reving at me (paper plates). My friend asks him if he wants to run, he's like yeah!
Build about 7-8psi of boost in 4wd so no smoke comes out (rolling into the throttle) light turns green, bam! I shut it down around 70 and look back, he's 3 lengths behind me, so I tap my hazards to let him know its over, and he slams on the brakes and turns with a sign that says I'm #1 out the window
