My Ride: 2007 BMW 550i w/SMG - JetBlack - Dinan Software - Dinan Exhaust - Anthracite Trim - Anthracite Headliner - Sport Package
After the gym today I was waiting at the light and a white Z06 came speeding across the intersection the same way I was waiting to turn. Light turned green and chased him down to the next light, we got stuck behind some cars but still accelerating "playfully". At the next light we pulled next to each other and he signaled me to roll down my window, then what came out of his mouth was sort of a surprise to me, "you dont think your gonna beat me do you?"
I was thinking in my head WTF did he just say
?? Wow just because he has a little ass car with a monster V8 he does not appreciate any other cars :thumbsdown: ? I said "well I guess I should have saved some money and bought a corvette, huh?" 
He then proceeded to smoke me by 6 cars going into 3rd gear

do not worry let's see making any kind of drag/street races are illegal. We have so good fun here when you explain here what you did in this lane or that, I mean in USA they are even stricter then here in Europe, so I do not get it, where is police when all these happen
Do not worry the Heartbeat of America is nice, but would I change a V8 Bimmer to a Vette, never!
PS. get some more HP and smoke him.
PS2. as Z06 is concerned here i paid here the same for my 3L diesel and not even a V8
so you are lucky in the US trust me on that

Now please don't get me wrong...the Vette driver had a piss poor attitude for sure, but again, you came after him.
As for your last comment:

...that's called irony.
I'm not picking a fight. I'm just saying what it looks like from a third party perspective.

I knew that his car is much faster. But I have not seen anybody drive one hard and I wanted to see how fast they really are. It went the way the expected, I was just surprised by his comment. That is all.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan you should have said "Excuse me do you have any grey pupon?" and just smiled. Then just drive 30mph.
A BMW 550 is not made for races. Its made to drive 4 people around in class and made to get PLENTY of ass.
