I say:
There is a meet next Sunday @ 4444 Van Nuys, LA, CA
Bring your car for a canyon ride and have a nice chat with the owners of your rivals!
2 MercPlease - A lot depends on the driver, I'm more then sure you know this better then me
What if you guys were playing in the canyons (or lots of turns backroads)
I doubt you would be so happy!! You would be faster but that Jap guy would be breathing in your back.
I'm from Moscow, Russia and for us (Russians) it is quite hard to meet a "same class enemy" so what we do is
1. Give thumbs up (if it is an enthusiast just like you)
2. Ask him to have his window down
3. Set up a meeting (and then attend it)
4. Enjoy a good meet and have fun
It is not about (how we say in Russia "Who's d1@k is bigger") who's car is faster.
It is about having fun and sharing expirence!
Just my opinion

My friend and I met up last night. He just got his E90 and I just got my C63. We did a short roll from from about 20 to 70 MPH and I backed off; car still in break-in. He never heard a C63 exhaust in-person and all he could say, "that thing is a monster!"

E63
Friendly game of chase
Saw a black on black C63 cruising at legal speed on a busy highway. I pulled up behind him, then alongside him on the left, and then pulled in front of him. There is a long sweeping ramp connecting one highway to another, with a gentle upslope, so we both saw that there was no traffic ahead. I floor it. He sees the rear of my E63 squat down under the power and he keeps up. We roar around the ramp and slow down to 70mph to merge onto highway traffic. He flies by on the left with a big grin on his face and gives a thumbs up while both the women in the passenger seats roll their eyes and groan in unison...

Sebringsilver- I'm always check out the other car but never instigate a race...maybe 1 in 4 I react when they instigate though.

Well I cant seem to get a good run from anyone. ISF's are a waste of time. I take them out with my B5 S4. I have only come across one RS4 but he wouldn't do anything but look. My wife cant drive a standard transmission so she cant race me with my own B7 RS4.

My S4 has given quite a few M3s a run with us running quite even.
My RS4 eats up M3s for breakfast lunch dinner and desert
I can only imagine that our C63s will do the same. What Im really looking for is a run against my own car.....hmmmmm

...unless your S4 is heavily modded/tuned. I've entertained a few S4's that were not even close at any speed.If your RS4 is stock it would be a good run, but the stock F is still faster and there are multiple videos to prove it. Here's one:

Yes, I know that the C63 will be faster in a straight line, but it's not nearly as bad as some of you make it out to be....and it will be even closer on the track...a driver's race.
Anyways, it's always fun to play safe with other fast cars....haven't had the pleasure of running with a C63 yet. Just a couple of days ago I got to do a short highway run (about 80 mph up to about 125 mph) with a SL 55 AMG....I think he was surprised that he wasn't pulling on me at all.
Beautiful car!
