Default beat-up by an E60 M5

You win some, you lose some. I was on the highway early Sunday morning around 7:30am and came up on two MILF's in a fricken gorgeous BMW M5. I would have hit all three of them. At 1st I was just being goofy to get their attention, not expecting much, but then the driver looked over and took off like a jet with a big **** eating grin on her face. When they slowed down a little I pulled up next them and rolled down the window (yes they're manual). They were all smiles. I said "Cool car ladies. I'll honk three times and then let's race" and they yelled OK. We slowed down to about 50 and I looked over and they were all nervous and sexy. Hehe. Honked three times and we were off. It was dead even until about 90mph and then that big tug boat started to inch away. I let off at about 115mph and was right in their blind spot. I remember because I could see the driver's face and she was pumped up. Oh well.

My Evo has all the bolt-ons, cams and a 20G turbo. I was on my 91 octane tune.

Nice death man. I guess if your gonna lose to a car it should be something like an M5. Those things really haul on the top end. I'm guessing you have an VIII RS from the lack of power windows? Awesome car. Must be fun with the 20g.

Yeah it's an RS. A race from a dig wouldn't be smart right now since I'm running an unsprung clutch. At the current power levels I have lots of faith in the motor but less faith in the transfer case. And yes...I would have nailed both milf-sters AND the M5.

I ran a guy in a M-5 on 610 and it was pretty close, but around 150-160mph he started dropping off, so I guess he still had the governor on his M-5. I remember looking at my heads up display and it was showing 162mph.
