Well I was driving home on I75 south when a 4 dr BMW pulls past me on my left. He blips the throttle (his little attention getter, and it worked) and then continues to drive normally. So I slip in behind to see if he was up for some fun, then noticed it was an M5. Well we drive for about 15 miles before he gets froggy and jumps .
He was still in front of me and we were both in the left lane, I see him take off to the right around a car that was in front of him. So I quickly drop 3rd at about 70 and nail it and follow him around the car I was pulling closer and then slipped left and shifted 4th and pulled past him about 3 cars I shut it down at about 115 - 120. I slowed waiting to see what he would do, he slowly passes, I waved and all he did is stare (with this I don't believe what just happened look on his face)
I had to get off soon so I left him alone after our little race. I’m sure he had no idea what was in store for him before the race started
That is my first incounter with an M5 and they are pretty fast, and look awesome. It's not bad for a 4dr

Now please don't go over there and start a big war. If someone is local, you should go for a rematch. These TA's aren't slow but I gotta believe the M5 driver should have dropped one more gear. I replied and tried to logically explain why 3-4 cars isn't likely. I raced on of these and it was fast but not that fast.
