Sorry to be posting a race story, but DAMN it was a FUN!!! As I rolled to a stop under a traffic light, a Bimmer pulled up beside me. I thought, hey that looks like an M5 (and a young guy is driving it with his girl by his side)! I let it pull just a little ahead of me so that I can see the back, and...yup, it was indeed an M5--a real one. My brother, in the passenger seat, got all excited and told me to race, race, race. Not wanting to be beaten in my TT, I cowardly explained to him that the M5 has over 400hp. So, the light finally turned green, and we both slowly accelerated. I thought, "he's stupidly giving me time for my turbos to spool up!" Then, he punched it! I heard the POWER under his hood. I thought, "heck, the road is clear, there's no oncoming traffic on the other side of the road...let me see what my Z can do." I punched it, redlined on 1st, power-shifted to 2nd, and again redlined...and, to my surprise, I was right beside him the whole way through, and I even managed to get ahead a little. As I shifted to 3rd gear, I started to pass him, but then thought that he'd stop racing, so I braked. Well, we slowed down, and MAN was the M5 driver happy! Driving slowly, I asked him how many horses he's pushing, and he tells me 440. My bro shouted in amazement, "No way!...and the Z kept up??!!" I was also surprised and jumping in content! I didn't know my Z could take on that monster!!! Maybe I could keep up with a C5 (I've never tried to race one)! Anyway, I'm sorry to have bored you with this story...I just had to let it out.
