Took a Beamer to school
What'sup SRT FREAKS ! I recently took a trip to Tuscon from phoenix, after I had the IC pump replaced. (thanks again for all the help) On my return trip I noticed a black BMW making moves to catch up. I slowed down so he could catch up and then we both took off. 150 MPH later he was fading in the distance with no signs of recovery. I then slowed way down. He pulled up next to me and complained that the SRT badging on the trunk was too small for him to see. I guess that was his way of saying that he was tricked. It's wicked fast.

Re: Took a Beamer to school
One thing I've always wondered with things like this, is how fast is the other car even willing to drive? I mean, I used to race people down the interstate here in my monte carlo and win. My car wasn't faster than theirs, it's just that they were too scared of police or whatever to get over 100mph, and I wasn't.

Its called racing up here and with innocent people killed by these drivers, there is not much sympathy for them. If they kill themselves we think it is sad but sooner them than us.
With a posted top speed of 100 kph (62 mph) and an unwritten max of 120 kph (75 mph) on restricted access highways, we get many impounded cars each day.
