I can still hardly breathe...
So my friend and I didn't have a lot of work today, we decided to just shoot the shit, wash and wax his new M Coupe. When we're all done, we're both tired as hell and decide to go out to eat. Since he has no idea where we're going, we decide it would be best if I drive to the place. As usual, when we get there we circle the parking lot about 20 times to find the perfect parking spot, and then find it next to an E36 M3 parked in the middle of nowhere, just as all (smart) BMW drivers prefer. So we go in, eat, come back out. As soon as we’re about to get into the car, this brand new, Mercedes E55 AMG (for those of you that don’t know, this car has 470 horsepower) passes us and kind of revs his engine. So, I’m driving again. We decided to ignore the AMG because we were tired and didn’t really feel like being stupid. As I’m exiting the parking lot, I see the AMG. I couldn’t help it, revved the engine about twice while passing him expecting a response. He did nothing, so we just blew it off and decided that he was a p*ssy. Right when we get into the turning lane to turn right, he’s right behind us. At this point both of us are going insane because we know that now we have to do something. My friend at this point is going insane, saying “oh man no don’t do it, don’t do it, ah shit I know you I know you’re gonna do it, shit don’t do it!” Of course we both knew it had to be done. He held on tight, as soon as I made the right turn and saw the E55 get behind me, I floor it (or at least I think I did, so much adrenaline I can barely remember). So I’m flooring it, 1st gear, quick shift into 2nd, traction control is still going off. Shifted into third, let go of the clutch, we’re now going about 50 mph, traction control is still going off. I look ahead, and what do I see? The fastest goddamn machine I’ve ever seen in my entire life. The son of a b*tch is literally about 20 meters ahead in NOTIME, and still pulling ahead HARD. It’s ass was nearly touching the ground, the sound was incredible. Everything lasted about 3-4 heart-pounding seconds. When I saw that silver E55 going away as if we were standing still, I just let go and decided it was pointless to keep trying. Yep, we got our asses handed to us quite quickly. We stop next to the guy at the next light, and he’s some young looking 20-26 year old guy. I told him that the Benz was incredibly impressive, talked for a bit until the light turned green and then just went our different ways. Now I’m here typing, my heart is still racing. I have new-found respect for that car... can't imagine what the new M5 will be like.
