No, unfortunately I do not engage in the immature art of street racing... but I do now understand what you meant.. but as Sunny has just pointed out, the M5 didn't drop-away either, so that makes it a tie.

Nonetheless, now that we know it's a tuned S6 I couldn't give a crap, not interested in tuned cars at all... blah.

,i saw a german vid testing the E63,M5 and S6..the S6 came second beating the M5 while the E63 came first,i think HoH posted it while back.

and it didnt get second place because it was the fastest car. And I have posted comparison between them were the M5 beated them all but thats total irrelevant for this thread since we discuss a race, not car reviews

BTW its funny we talk about the Lassie story, "I met Lassie", all I hear is speculations and guesses

As far as we know this could be 600 hp tuned S6 or a supercharged A6 4.2 or an tuned old RS6. Bloody story with no substance.!

And I think that is exactly why the RS6 got a huge bump in HP, cause it actually needs it to stay ahead.

Let me explain. This guy thought that his 90k car was the sh!t. What happened was he tried his best to beat the guy but couldn't. In other words, his pride was hurt. The instant he realized his car ain't sh!t is the instant he got his ass handed to him. I didn't mean that this the RS6 impostor totally obliterated this guy, but he hurt the dude's pride and confidence in his beloved M5. That is what means to get your ass handed to you.

It's not immature if it's done in the right conditions. Some of the best racers in the world were street racers. Hell, most of the drift guys from Japan grew up drifting on the streets.

When you're doing 90mph+ in heavy traffic, cutting people right and left while racing; now that's immature. When it's 2am on a desolate highway/freeway or a country road with no one around...it's not immature. When the only person you can hurt is yourself, then go for it because I believe everyone has the right to put Mr. Darwin to the test...LOL

On the other hand...look...

Boom..there it is.

I guess we were talking bout different things then - I was talking bout the cars, not the drivers mental state.

he he he...I did say *He* got his ass handed to him.

I never said that the car beat the other car. I was trying to say that the guy was too confident in his car.
