So iam driving cool with wife next to me. My car a 2008 550i. I see on the left lane a beautiful mercedes sl55 amg. I drive close by,look at it, and pass the guy.
Next traffic light we are next to each other. Withhout warming when light goes green the mercedes goes full gas, I can hear its engine reving very loud, ME? Full gas too! (but iam still in D mode)
Whatever we are next to each other, a glance at my rpm (I hit 6500 rpm) and my 550i is holding great next to him.
But there is too much traffic and I have to brake as I am getting stuck behind slow cars.

That was fun...he did not kill me and I was surprised by that!

this is probably the first "kill story" I have seen on this forum in the 14 months of membership. Most forums have banned kill stories.

I think most forums ban kill stories because they feel they maybe encouraging others to put innocent people in harms way.
Having a little fun around the corners within your limits of control is one thing but I think stuff like this belongs on a track.

One other BMW forum I read has a dedicated Kill section. Of course they have a 'we do not condone' disclaimer.

Glad no one was hurt, agreed with the above comment that actions like this should stay on the track (or at least an empty stretch of road), especially when stated there was slower traffic present. Hope my friends or family are not on the road when you and your foot are feeling heavy
