Was on the thruway last night making decent time due to all the crazy canadians speeding to get home when I happened upon an e60 M5 all shiny and new. Guy acted like a bit of a dbag, but granted, I was egging him on so it was deserved. Finally after much goading from the old M20 engine I saw him reaching for the paddles, at which point I hammered down. I started to pull away… till he got on the gas :lol: Through 3rd (for me) he put bus lengths, as I topped out 4th, I could barely see him anymore. Caught back upto him a mile or so later gave him a thumbs up, he just kinda looked at me like “WTF did you expect?” None the less, amused.

Dave is swapping the e30 😉 So it should be somewhat closer. ---

Foregone conclusion indeed. Still worth seeing a car as big as that move like it does. Awesome.
