Turbo Integra Vs. New BMW M5

[gsrhunterinlv]

This actually happened a few months ago and I posted it for my friends on bimmerforums.... but I thought you guys might enjoy the read also!!!

This morning I decided to take the integra out for a little spin up and down a little street here by my house that is nothing short of heavenly!!! Its nearly 2 miles long.... four lanes and a center divider with nothing but open land on both sides. My car has been down for damn near 6 months... so at this point I'm like a crack whore anticipating taking a hit.

I turn right onto the street.... coast up to 45mph put it in 3rd and gun it. Lag..Lag..Lag..Lag..Lag.........................Oh hhhhhh My Fricken God!!!!!!!!!! If drugs are anything like this I see how people get hooked!!!! As I'm braking and coming down off my nirvanna like experience.... I notice my neighbor in his M5 blasting the opposite direction.

I quickly get to the end of the road, turn around and gun it to try and catch him. Through 1st and 2nd I might as well have been sitting in a burnout box..... get it in 3rd and the car finally decides to make some forward progress. I get about 3/4 of the way and here he comes blasting back the other direction. Mind you this street has a center divider the full distance......so I hafta go all the way to the end and turn around again.

We play musical cars once more and I get the bright idea to sit at the next u-turn and wait. I hear him blasting toward me... and as he comes into full view I see he has a pasenger who is grinning from ear to ear. Aparently he was showing his friend how fast his new M5 is. When he gets in the left hand turn lane and makes another U-ey I smile.

I just know that he's gonna stop and we will have the obligatory what do you have under there conversation.... but NO!!! He just drives right by. I pull out to catch him and as soon as I get it in 2nd gear.... his rear end squats and off he goes. My turbo finally spools in 2nd and I'm feathering like crazy trying to keep the car moving forward.

Now he has about 8-10 CLs on me when I shift. 3rd gear is more feathering but I'm starting to reel him in. I gain more traction and now I'm catching him like I do my 4 year old son when we play tag at the park. By mid 4th I was past him and once I had 2-3 CLs on him I let off. He stayed in it for a second and then let off. I guess its not in a bimmer drivers nature to do a fly-by.

We both make another U-ey and I try to coax him into racing again, but no go!!! His passenger is looking over at my car like WTF. At the end of the road he turned right on his way back up to the multi million dollar houses by lance burtons house. I tried to get him to stop but he wouldn't give me the time of day... I guess a guy in a pos Integra doesn't desrve to be spoken to.... so I turned right on my way back to the poor side of the neigborhood and my measley little 600,000 dollar house.

sweet kill, it's very satisfying handing some self indulgent nose in the air prick w/an expensive car his ass. i'm sure he had several excuses for his passenger.

werd, I would've paid good money to have seen this race just because I'd be seeing some pompous ass getting what he needs....his ass handed to him in front of a friend.

wait a sec, you hunt him down while he is playing and he's a self indulgent prick? You boast about your $600k house as well?? You can barely move into the ghetto in San Jose for $600k, ok a townhouse on the decent side maybe. Sounds like someone is feeling a bit short

I may have jumped to conclusions about his motives for ignoring me... but mentioning the price of my home was done in sarcasm because of him ignoring me. Your price comparison isn't at all feasable. The home builder who built my home... built the exact same houses in anaheim hills for 1 million. If you go to montana... 600 grand can get you a 10,000 sqft mansion on 5 acres!!! LOL slight exaggeration... but you get my point!!! Location location location!!!
