Default 500+ AWHP EVO 8 vs. unsuspecting BMW 335I coupe

I'm driving home on the freeway tonight by myself when all of a sudden a white 335I coupe merges onto the highway.....

Now I know that how some BMW owners can be so cocky I was hoping that he would do something to provoke me to run....which to my surprise he did....he rolls behind my rear 1/4 panel for a bit then gets behind me and highbeams me....

so now I'm like coasting along at like 60 MPH, waited him to pull along side me then I downshifted and let him know I was ready to run....he and I floor the gas at the same time from a 60 MPH roll and I left him in the dust sitting still.....maybe like 3 carlengths behind or so before I shut it down.

later up ahead I let him get in front of me and go WOT, but there was way too much traffic up ahead and I didnt want to weave in and out like a maniac so I backed down....

I tried to catch up to the guy but wasnt as crazy as he was weaving in and out and cutting people off... ohh well... I would have loved to give him a WOT headstart and then run him down later....

I am all for the element of surpise, but slaughtering a lamb is kind of boring.

My wife and I bought an EVO IX SE. It is our daily driver. We have a bunch of mods planned, but I'll leave it at that as this isn't my thread to be posting as such.

I get all sorts of losers trying to race me, from the Honda crowd, Nissan Maxima crowd, to soccer moms in their stupid minivans and suv's

I know exactly what he was thinking

"Bah!! Of all the days for my E92 to be running choppy! I'm not even sure the secondary turbine is working!! Argh!!!"
