2000 GTP VS BMW E39 BMW 540 Automatic

Last Sunday morning I was driving to Army drill early morning so there was very little traffic. I notice a Murdered out BMW 540 with the newer front headlights and bumper. The guy had 10-5% tint. He was driving like a total A hole. Noticed he was weaving around the little traffic there was. We got to a straight part of the road with no traffic around us. I catch up and he hears the Gen 5 whine. He slows down to about 40mph. Suddenly he punches it. I hit it about a split second later. Too bad his windows were tinted so dark I would have loved to glance over and see the look on his face as I slowly walked him. We got up to about 116mph with me ahead by about 1& 1/2 cars ahead of him. He then shut own and kept back to lick his wounded pride. At this point I was waiting for the ricer flyby. About 4 miles down the highway as traffic picks up he punches it. I hit the gas to catch up and one lone dumbass in a minivan of course, cuts me off doing 50mph in a 55mph zone with me doing about 106MPH. I slam on the brakes and thankfully my cts-v brakes got me down to 50mph with about 20 feet to spare. My heart was racing and then though that they were well worth every penny.


Highlights
Raced murdered out 540
E39 newer front end
Raced from 40 to 116mph
I got him by 1&1/2 car lengths to two
Then the ricer stayed back
Traffic picked up
Then he does a ricer fly by
My lane opened up I give chase but a ****ing minivan cuts me off as I am going 106mph
I stand on the brakes.
My heart was racing
The cts-v brakes stopped me with about 20 feet to spare!
 


I love when race stories start out with "I noticed him driving like and an a**hole so I decided to do the same and race him in traffic"

Not saying I haven't done it...

Exactly.

"the traffic picked up so i decided to go 100mph and damnit a minivan got in the way!"

If it was a 6 speed, with a proper driver, you'd have been toast.
 
Can someone explain to me the mentality behind the ricer fly by? I've gotten beat plenty of times by faster cars, but i had fun so win or lose I am happy. Other drivers get pissed! They start driving recklessly or stay back and then do a river flyby. what is the point? Can someone explain that to me?

I've raced a 6 speed modded with an autologic tune and we were pretty dead even. Just ask oldsman105!:-P

If you don't understand the point of a fly-by, why did you decide to punch it again to 100?

Oldsman found this thread a few weeks ago about a similar match up!
