So we're all minding our business cruising around 75-80 on a three lane highway in some semi-congested traffic when some Audi S4 (not current model) decides he can't wait and proceeds to fly by everyone in the right lane and do a stupid, cutting everyone off, change across two lanes to get back on the left-hmm how come?.

I happen to be a couple of cars back in the left and think to myself "I just can't let that go". I start to catch up to him as the highway veers to the right and changes to a different route number. He's now in the middle lane slowing to about 60 to get thru this veer/slight turn and I have some open space in the left front lane a easily pass around 80. Now he's switches lanes and is behind me a few car lengths and see/hear him switch lanes to fly by me on the right. I decide to wait until he reaches my bumper and hit it in 3rd at 80. He proceeds by me about a car length. I'm WOT in 3rd reaching the limit by 100 and now even with him and throw it into 4th and start to gain. I get about 3/4 cl ahead by 115 and we have to shut down for traffic and he then gets off the next exit.

Not much of a race, but curious to see if I could catch someone trying to fly by me and because I just couldn't let that behavior go.

Any mods on your coupe? And any pictures of your beast? Welcome to bf.c and good kill :)

Hrumph :D

Nicely done. I thought '01 M coupes had the S54 engine? Your pull seems like an S52.

How much does the clownshoe weigh?

Couldn't tell if it was modded and my car is stock. It's a bit hard to be exact when someone is approaching WOT and your cruising at a constant speed but yes, it is an s54.

Here's a pic: PY rules of course

Thanks. A bit of fender gap though. I think I need a new suspension at 40K because, unless this is normal, the right side is lower than the left. I push on that side and notice a bit more bounce.

No, no, no. He let the guy in the S4 go WOT and basically about to do a fly by before he mashed the throttle.

Just to give some perspective, your car better be WHOLE lot quicker from a roll to do what he did in his car(I'm talking 8-9mph better as far as traps).

Nice run, man and beautiful car. Damn I want an S54...

If you want real clown shoe, check out the Viper. The red Viper looks like Ronald McDonald's shoe! :D

that is normal to compensate for the driver's weight. IDK why BMW did that though. My E36 M3 is the same way

Umm, I meant the driver's side is lower about 1/2 inch in the back which I don't think is normal.

That color is called phoenix yellow? The late model integra type R's were also called phoenix yellow, or PYR.

I was wondering if anyone else picked up on this. You have to have a distinct power advantage to pull on someone when they have the momentum. I use this trick all the time when im "playing" with other cars that I know wouldnt be a real race as a way to sorta even the odds/ make it interesting. :evil2

Yeah, you gotta take what you can get and make it as fun as possible. I really don't go looking to race, but I hardly have anyone initiate a race with me.

Of literally hundreds of street races, Ive had maybe 10 that someone else initiated. Go figure. :cool
