I had a clown in a Tibaron or something with dual pineapple launchers on my bumper tonight...he was buzzin that little thing to stay on top of me...I was going from stop sign to stop sign...one city block at a time !!! Maybe these guys just want to hear the whine !!! He came around me with launchers blazing like he was gonna run me when I turned onto a main street,...poor little thing was singing hi revs but I was just tooling down the street...I couldn't believe it !!!

You guys better watch out for the 550, if you are not giving it 100% its possible you could lose a short race my guess is off the line its faster than the current M5 because of the transmission unless the M5 is using LC which LC pretty much sucks for US cars... Its a quick car but not E55 quick. They make good races for unsuspecting M3 drivers.

E55 Power,
yeah, maybe i was a bit hard on the lil' guy. guess, recently (unlike before), i have had a number of these types trying to pull when i'm just tooling around. guess the angst just caught up w/ me/him that morning. you have good point. next time i will save words and just mash it tomake my feelings evident. thanks.

Not an E55, unless the driver was sleeping.

That poor kid didnt know what hit him.
Annoying mosquito-like sound from that thing !!!
