Was driving 80 on the left lane and a 300SRT high beam me so I speeded up to 100 and he changed lane passed me. (probably at 110+) and I was going to change to DS mode and....
My mom was in the car with me and she yelled at me not to do crazy things. So I had to slow down.

I am just wondering have any one raced with 300SRT? Probably 545i won't win, how about 550i?
Does BMW really need to use M5 ($80K+ car) to beat Chrysler's $50K car?

I dont think u understand the charme and strength of a BMW if u start asking questions like this.
But if u really needed to know, u should have convinced your mom so she could let u do your thing and prove that there aint no Chrysler gonna mess around with your beamer.

Well... I think beamer should be about to take 300SRT after 140+
But my heart isn't strong enough to drive that speed in local freeway even my mom say "Go get him".
Sorry... I let you guys down tonight.

No problem, totally understand.
Once when i was driving my M3 i ran into a porsche 996 who wanted to race me. Unfortunately my mom was sitting next to me holding a box with a pie in it with lots of whipped cream cause we just came from the bakkery. But there was no way that i would let that arrogant punk with his sunglasses and his blond chick (also with sunglasses) get away without proving that he was as tough as he looked like.
U probably can guess what happened next. We took a sprint from 0 to 200 km/hour, my mom was screaming like a pig, i humiliated the guy in front of his girlfriend and we had to eat the pie from the box cause it looked like shit afterwards.
But anyways, i felt great!!

Im glad thats a universal truth. Even overtaking a slow moving car can result in a 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING' rant if mum is in the passenger seat.

I can see her hands clench and knuckles go white sometimes.

She would have a fit if she knew what i drove like without her in the car

The irony is that she has more points for speeding than i do......HMMM

beautifull story about the m3....and dont worry about the chrysler, if he came at another time...he would have heard a BMW v8...my mom not only thinks i dive fast. she thinks i park to fast... the 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING' screem came a few days ago while entering the garage,,i laughed we she said that...but she was serious...she says "slow down" after i take my leg of the brake but before i press the gas pedal...but she drives fast and although i dont tell her slow down when shes driving, i must admit, i do get nervous and a bit scared when i see the speedometer past 100KMh...

This one will. The SRT is a monster. We (545/550) will struggle to match it for acceleration.

We are talking about a streetrace here. Not some pussy ass dragrace. Streetraces through regular traffic will need much more than a lot of horsepower. Handling and stability of the car are almost as important. And since Chrysler doesnt even know how to spell these words it will have its ass kicked for sure. Check out what i mean in this video where an old M5 (E39) is hunting an RS4. If u do this shit with a Chrysler u will end up somewhere in the trees.
