Default Respect From A Dinan M5

This morning was a beautiful Southern California day and I was enjoying the cool air with the top down. I noted a car rapidly approaching from the rear with HID lights on. It's a Beemer. We ended up next to each other at several stoplights. It was an M5. I decided to give him a hint of what was. I opened it up a little shifting at 6,000 in first, 7,000 in second and 8,000 in third as he watched. I do this spending less time in each subsequent gear. Then, he did a little exhibition running it up to about 75mph.
At the last light before a long open stretch he punched it (with some tire spin) and pulled a car or so off the line.
I just hit it easy in first and powered second. At the end of second I had pulled almost back up to him. I wound it out to 9200 or 9300 rpm in 3rd and pulled him about 2 car lengths very quickly and this with him in it all the way. Down the road at the next light he pulled up next to me wide-eyed and asked "supercharged?" I nodded afirmative and he gave me the thumbs up.

We stopped and talked a couple miles down the road and he had a Dinan stage 2 setup with a chip, 365hp and 3.9L engine. He was very impressed with the little Honda that could.

Nice kill... the E60 is outdated, now you need to run the new M5.

You should post your dyno again... b/c I don't think people know how much rwhp your putting down. Blessed he's putting down 360rwhp, and has sh!tloads of engine work done.

This isn't the ordinary just S/C'd bolton s2k...
