Default Raced a BMW M3

I was at a stop light in the middle lane and a nice new BMW M3 was on the right lane with nice looking blonde female passengers in his car . So I had to pull up next to him so we can compare our cars...
We looked at each other then I went to grab for my sunglasses, put them on and waited for the green light. I didn't even think of racing or provoking a race, but the next intersection I wanted to turn right, so I had a choice, go slow and get behind him, or quickly pass him.
The light turns green, I was planning on going slow so I could switch lanes once he drove by, but he didn't gas out of the intersection, so I went for option 2 and I push it to pass him and as I come by his car, he pushes it too....so I'm like, yah...I guess I'll race him. So I''m in VTEC in 1st gear and we are side by side, I shift to second at redline and we are still nose to nose, his nose a little bit further, but as I appoach 9000 in 2nd gear, that distance begins to close and we are nose to nose again, and I shift into 3rd and we are back to him having a little bit longer nose ahead of me, but then again as I climb up in the revs I'm pulling on him. We've already drove past the intersection that I wanted to turn on, but this is too much fun, so I continue to push it and then I'm half a car ahead of him and then we both slammed on our breaks. I gave him a thumbs up and he did the same. The two girls in his car smiled back and waved. He drives around behind me to the left lane and heads out
and I turn around at the next intersection since I missed mine for this race.

I have to agree with this. Even if he really lost, he was the one driving off with two hot girls.

Maybe it was a 'vert M3 (heavier), the guy was 300lbs, the girls were 200lb apiece, wasn't in sport mode, and trunk full of shopping bags?
