G12 750i  [0.00]
Ok, I'm not here to go racing and such with this boat!

So….What had happened was…. I'm minding my own business on the freeway as I always do, but this being Atlanta, getting accosted by a Scat Pack Charger is like an hourly affair.

The traffic opened up and I heard the usual kick down of the Charger…. So obviously I wanted to let him know that obnoxious exhaust and poor credit score is not the only way to command speed. I kick the 750i down and I follow. He was very slowly pulling 1 ft every second or so from me at high double digits/ low triple. I had envisioned the mighty N63 having far greater torque at speed than a NA 392 Hemi. This was a bit defeating today.

I want to know these Chargers are slower (except Hellcats)….. What tune should I go for? I had BMS in my 550i… I could do that. I've heard BM3, etc. what are you guys running?

LOL, thanks for that.

I run into these guys fairly often, and yes it's usually a Charger, Ram truck or Challenger. But you know what? It ain't worth the gas to educate these bozos.

Aside from the obvious risks d/t tickets, accidents, etc. they are too stupid to learn and really, we live in the south and they are more likely to shoot you at the next opportunity for insulting their manhood than they are to acknowledge your superior driving machine.

So take a chill pill, change the station to easy listening, and enjoy your luxury car at the posted limit and let the redneck show his true colors.
