Yeah but you might meet those on the streets. And think about it, most wannabe racers on 2 doors coupe, or 2 seaters would treat (stupid imo) from high up those with big 4 door sedans, but they might have a surprise That's what happened to a guy in a black rx-8, fast and furious style....
That's what happened to a guy in a black rx-8, fast and furious style.... Talking about an RX-8 reminds me of a story when i was in Greece last summer.
I was driving in my M3 from Athens to Patras. There was not much traffic and a red RX-8 with a guy wanting to show off to his girlfriend wanted to race me. I was drinking a frapp? at that time (cold Greek coffee) which i had to put on the side cause there are lots of curves and i really felt like kicking this guys ass. And thats what happened, bigtime, i reached speeds of over 240km/h in the mountains and the M3 was on its best. Constantly between 160-240km/h mainly in 4th and 5th gearing. Like a rocket.
The funny think was that after he was allmost outoff sight i stopped racing and slowed down to enjoy my frapp? again. When the RX-8 passed and the girlfriend saw me drinking my coffee you should have seen here face. She was like: What the f***, this dude is drinking coffee and my boyfriend still has sweat on his head trying to catch up....funny situation.

Got, ACS Roof Spoiler, but not installed..
the 550 would kill the slk, easy...but i might be a bit tricky with the start. if you keep close to him, or beat him in the start then all he will see is red dots as the 550 disappears...but beause of the 550s power if you spin the wheels at the start, and the slk gets a good start. the 550 would still win in the distance but it would become harder to catch up....but im sure 550 would win, in all cases....
