Crazy BMW X5
For some reason, this guy in an X5 tried to race me yesterday. I repeat TRIED. He obviously had no clue what he was getting into. Needless to say, I destroyed him but I almost smacked right into his rear bumper before passing. When I kicked down for the 1st time (only had it 2 weeks) I was astonished by how fast I caught him and started to fly. I had to make a quick shift to the left and barely avoided his bumper.So, a word of advice to you new C63 drivers. Get used to the kick-down because it's f*****g fast.

Well, yesterday i was driving home in my ML
and in front of me its my friends GT3RS
so i was chasing it for fun
and suddenly this G35 cuts in front of the GT3RS
and SLAMS his breaks
freaking the GT3RS stopped fast enough
and I was lucky i stopped fast enough i was inches away from smoking a GT3RS in the back
freaking we chased that G35 around richmond and in the end we got out of the car and *****ed at this 20 yr old asian kid ( well i cant call him a kid as he is older than me )

she found it "cute" and never returned the keys to me. I still get to drive it on weekends lol. I never finished reading the manual. So, what is kick down? I never had an automatic car before so I'm assuming its when you down shift? How do engage this do I just literally kick down the accelerator?

you can also squeeze and hold left paddle down (or push and hold stick to left) to downshift to lowest safe gear. I think it's slightly faster than just mashing the gas - or at least you can pinpoint the timing of the shift better with your throttle.
