saw a red one fly past me at about 85 on the freeway, i caught up to it and juice it a couple times. he slowed down to about 80 as did i and he floored it. surprisingly i immediately put ~2 lengths on him and was still pulling when i shut down around 120 and he flew past me fairly recklessly imo.

caught him at a light. he wouldn't look over but was rolling back and forth from the line waiting for the light so i knew he wanted to go again.

on green he was atleast 3 cars back :D the x50 alerted me to K in the area so i shut down around 75, he did the ricer (krauter?) flyby and continued on his way. i turned around and about 30 seconds later saw a highway patrol fly past, probably towards the m5. the x50 pays for itself again. :)

all in all a good evening for the srt8. i will say though that the e39 m5 is one of my dream cars.

Nice work. And I agree that the M5 is a great ride.

My tuned 335i would destroy my SRT8 on the highway. Haven't quite figured out how to race myself yet though

That is strange,:confused: I got mine up to 145. It did not shut down!

I assume you are joking, but I'll bite anyways . . .

By 'shut down' he means he let off the gas/accelerator/backed-off, etc.

I am impressed with the twin turbo 335. What kind of power increase does the ProCeed tune claim to have given you?

There aren't many 335s around my neck of the woods yet but I'm hoping to run across one for a little friendly race action.:D

335s are nice but id steer well clear of them, especially modding them, until the reliability issues are solved

I killed an E30 with my 5.7 on the track.
