Raced Audi S8, and...
This aspen silver kind of looking audi S8 and my 98 740il (stock) were stopped at the traffic lights side by side near the Chinatown in Boston. A very young guy was driving the S8 and his windows were all open. We both looked at each other and I complimented his car. He nodded his head w/ a simple word, "Yeah, man", and he had a look on his face that he could kick my butt in any second. Well, I knew he didn't even consider me as his competitor, but I didn't like his attitude, so I put my gear into sports mode (but kept DSC on) and slightly pressed accelarator. Once the light turned green, we both floored our cars, and boy, my 7 didn't start too bad. After 1/10 mile, the road soon led us to Mass Pike entrance, and it merged into one lane. His car (who was abt half car length ahead of me) cut me right off from left hand side) and as soon as we were on the highway, my persistent chase began. It was 8 in the morning on Sunday, and there was hardly any car on the highway. Up to 70-75 miles, I was right behind his tail and I felt pretty good that I may have a decent chance to catch up w/ him. Nevertheless, when I reached 80 miles and moved onto the other lane to pass him, I heard a powerful exhaust tone from his car, and oh, well..., it just flew... We were three car length apart from each other and the distance wouldn't narrow, but departed even further. Then, I just gave up!! Well..., his car disappeared from my sight within couple seconds, and I slowed down. I could picture him smiling wide open, and belittle my car.
