ultra_runner Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Last night I was coming on the entrance of 85 south. It was real late at night with no one around but, in front of me was a burgandy M5 with no plates - only sticker (not yet registered) so I know the guy just bought it. He is really slow at the beginning of the on ramp so I ended up coming up on him fast. As he gets into the turn he hits the gas but it's no match for the AWD of the S60R. I stay right on him. He hits it when he merges onto the highway and I stay right with him... stuck on his bumper. He immediately darts to the outside carpool lane and I stick right with him. At about 120 I pull to his inside and and keep it going easily passing him at 130+. (I think he actually got off of it). We both slow down but for the next 4 miles he is sure to stay in my rearview.Experience gave me Volvo-wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmD Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Damn, I thought this was going to be about the 850 or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra_runner Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 07' M5? and the S60R beat it? Don't those things have 500hp?Was not a newer M5... was a few years used car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 It was real late at night with no one around but, in front of me was a burgandy M5 with no plates - only sticker (not yet registered) so I know the guy just bought it.So, you are racing a guy during his break in period? He really shouldn't be doing much for the first 1200 miles on the car. I believe that some BMWs even limit power during the break in period (although I might be thinking of another company).Was not a newer M5... was a few years used car.Ok, what year? It would help with knowing the power output of the car then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
