Default Ran a new M5 for first time

(in VEGAS) so im heading home on Fort apache getting ready to get onto summerlin pkwy and head up to the 215 and in front of me at the light is a new BMW M5. As soon as the guy sees me he turns onto the pkwy fast and speeds up. Im 3 cars behind him at about 95mph or so and he hits it and i follow. In a few seconds im walking around him and hes looking over with a wtf look on his face. After we get onto 215 he gets behind me(on my ***) and i drop into third at 65 or so and when we hit the bridge we push it...now this time i miss 4th and he is a much closer race. But when we get up to about 110 or so i start pulling him pretty good again. This really suprised me cause i heard that the M5s when not limited can do about 200mph. Not to mention the guy has a V10. But sure enough my car pulled his everytime we were in 4th...It was cool though...we passed a maserati quattroporte and jag XKR while we were messing around...a lotta nice cars out. Anyways , shout out to the light blue BMW M5 up by red rock...it was fun man.
PS i was on spray of course

Nice kill!

He wont be matching your numbers on the spray, and weight and aerodynamics are a close match for you guys. I would love to see a race from a dig. The BMW might be the easier car to get out of the hole. Then again, you have 537 lbs of TQ

Yep, much better sleeper than the M6. 118mph traps are stunning for that big 4 door.
