First race is a loss! I was just sitting behind this BMW at a redlight with my friend in the passenger seat, and I look closer and notice its an M6 (didn't know anything about them) So we're sitting here and I hear him rev.. so when the light turns green I get over and get next to him. We punch it at about 40 (i'm in 2nd) and by the top of 2nd he's already 2 cars ahead of me, so I just stop going (not the best place to race either) He pulls over to a gas station and I asked him mods/hp all that BS and he said its stock 500hp. I go home and look the thing up.. its a v10 !! Oh well

Yup, I've yet to meet anyone that has never lost a race (except on the internet 
) But don't worry, you have an LS1, you'll win more than you loose 
BTW those M6s are nice. I've yet to see one in person, but I likey.

I know the feeling my deaths are
1. Enzo from a 70 mph roll I put a fraction of a bumper on him Then he just walk away from me bad
2. 04 cobra kennybell charger built motor 700+ from a dig I pulled him of the line up to the middle of 4th he beat me by half of car
3. My brothers 300zx 750 just turbos and 890 on spray needless to say he sprayed me( I hope your reading this punk!) From a dig I destroyed him he had no grip at the top of 3th he blew past me
4. The muscle car eater 1,400 hp supra my brother friend gave me a 8 second head

I think the $106K is justified, because (never actully drove or ridden in one so just guesing) I got to think that this BMW is probably one of the smoothest, quietest, and just all around nicest 500 HP cars out there. Again just an educated guess.
