..With decent drivers, an M5 would have difficuty beating a w208, let alone a kompressor 55 or a 996tt

some1 call him out for me.... im in Miami (an hour or 2 away from Boca)... ill gladly run this M5 guy with my wittle bitty V6 powered C32.. on pavement, 1/4 mile, out the hole, flagged!!! Im too lazy to register on that board... plus they'lll probably ban me!!!


Im still kinda pissed at what happend this weekend when i was up in Orlando!! I was driving through traffic and an older guy in a Dinan M5 pulls up to me revs at me and then wouldnt slow down to make room to race. Rather this old timer ricer of an M5 driver decides to take off into massive traffic weaving in and out of it endangering the lives of others then nearly came within inches of slamming into a van full of kids. What a moron... things like that get me so pissed off. That guy can take his uberpowered Dinan and drive off a cliff, its what he deserves!!

We all know which car is faster.

it IS possible that he "beat" a sc cl55 IF the cl55 wasn't racing him...

I'm running him soon... we both have exams comming up anyways so I'll be busy as well, especially with HIN comming next weekend. Anyways, correct me if I'm wrong guys but if you race some1 from stop light to stop light wouldnt that be the same as running it from a dead stop?

Benzo says his modded C32 is comparable to a CL55, so this is basically what I want to race. Its going to be a lot of fun. MiamiC55, we'll let you know for sure, so we can all meet up!!
