last night after i finished dinner from my friend's house at Glen wavely, then i use eastern freeway to back home to High Point, there was a M6 couple with four exhaust tip with the number plate "*REMOVED MY ADMIN*", the driver drive very close to me and sometime he slow and fast next me like that couple times, it was very annoying me, my wife said that driver very show off, then i decide race with him and seehow fast his car can go as well as my car, my car was in the four gear doing 110km/h that time, when his bumper and my bumper in the same level then we start push our car hard, i was doing 160km/h in four gear then i change to fifth gear and keep doing till 180km/h then my car won't go any fast then 180km/h!!! this was the first time i drag to 180km/h!! i am happy! After my soarer won't go any faster then 180km/h then i have to slow down, because i knew his car will beat me after that speed, from 110km/h to 180km/h my car always half body distantes in front than his car, there was a few time his car front pop up very quick then backward a bit again, look like his car changing the gear, because his has 7 speeds. Gentlemens, i am not try to show off about my TT here, but just try to share my latest experiance last night, and also give u an ideal our TT is not a bad car compare to 7 speed $275k M6.

i don't think he watching my wife, coz we both have a tint window and is 12am in the midnight, is was too dark, i don't even know he is asian or aussie driver, i just can tell he couldn't pass me 100kph to 180kph. I know how fast and how good his M6 is, but i just don't understand why the car has more kw and 520nm still that hard to pass my TT. why he keep he car half of body behind me all the time if he think he can kill me? what did he try to show me or tell me? Maybe your guys are right, he just playing with me, but i was really enjoy that night.

And people wonder why the police are so harsh these days. This is why I have given up on Japanese cars. You can't do anything to them, or drive them anywhere on a Friday or Saturday night without being hassled by the cops. And why? Because of behaviour like that. They are just playing the numbers.

Hehe MY car ran a 12.9 for the 1/4mile.. I guess my total investment of $13,500 ( including purchase price) aint bad considering im only 0.4 behind the M6..

When I am hooning:
When another car tries to out-drag me from the lights entering a 100km/h road, and I feel so inclined, I keep my nose just past his rear bumper, just to answer to myself whether I have control without actually pushing him to go too fast. That is all the M6 was doing, even if he had it on the lower power setting. He knew he could eat you; he was just watching.
I put in the vote for Paul's post.

I have removed the other party's number plate from your post. I am still debating whether to remove this thread completely to try and protect you, or whether you would be stupid enough to see it differently.

People, don't be so negative with Sam's view will you? He was just telling us his story. If you have a point, say it in a mature, constructive way, not with hostility or a b*tching/moaning/sarcastic/selfish tone. You respect others, you will be respected back.
I'd love to see a $16,000 TT (or whatever price)eating a $90,000 BMW, it is about time to show what TT's are made of. However, the driver's skill is also as important as the machine's performance. He could be changing up too early and miss the torque curve every time etc, in saying that...
Sam, maybe next time don't mention other people's no. plate and "modify" your profile pic so your no. plate is not visible, PURELY for the the reason that cops could be looking at this forum, you know what I mean? We all like our licenses right?
Oh, I recommend to keep it on a race track, because it is dangerous to other road users if you 2 crash. Just think about your wife in you car at the time, you don't want to hurt her right?

Leave it, leave it..I love they way he axpresses himself.. Go Sam
I agree..Sam got excited and wanted to tell us ALL.. We have ALL done something like this at one stage in our life. Let the bloke enjoy his time of happiness..
We only have 1 life, try to enjoy it SAFELY, but at the most, try to enjoy it

"not with hostility or a b*tching/moaning/sarcastic/selfish tone"
^^ this is what gets to me about the internet/forums/icq/msn etc. How can you tell what manner of tone people are speaking in from just reading text ??? you can't.

i have nothing constructive to add to this. But it does bring back memories of the stupid things that have happened in the past, only to look back and realise how much of a tool i must have looked. But as Pen said, we've all done it before!

As an aside... can the cops really act on something that is said in a forum? Wouldnt they need to witness it? like i could say.. and this is hypothetically speaking.. yeh i went 300km/h in a school zone without a seatbelt ..etcetc.. could they really action on that? oh btw my number plate is... pwnage..
