I appreciate the comments and consolations fellas. I knew beforehand that those cars were amazing in about every way. I just didn't realize that they were that amazingly fast. It's totally different to read numbers in a magazine than it is to watch a car just leave you behind. I've always had respect for tuned BMW's, but that's a given for most German cars in the first place (including my "lowly" little SRT).


I would like to see how it goes with good traction and a pulley kit. I'm sure he'd be surprised and impressed at the very least. That's what I love most about this car; that people are surprised at just how fast it really is.


I'm glad you guys had fun reading the story. Hopefully I'll have many more opportunities out there to report future encounters with badass cars.
