I respect your car, I really do. I even respect your Oakley wrap-arounds, even though it isn’t sunny, and I’m pretty sure you aren’t an outfielder for the Nats. But, you tried to pass me in the right lane on an open highway, and I thereby had to show you what’s up. Because I’ve got 250 more horses than you, and 300 more torque. I hope your ego will recover.

Love,

Some Time Next Week:

“Finally moved the hellcat, ehh?”
“Yeah. You know, I didn’t think those kinds of folks were interested in the ‘cat, but we’ve opened up a new market haven’t we?”
“Yeah. It’s a good thing, but damn. We take any more BMWs on trade, we’ll have to put the roundel up there on the lot sign.”

Folks who pass on the right when passing on the left is also an option deserve a kick in the shin.

I’ve got no ego about getting passed, but when a driver comes up behind me and has the option of passing on either the right or the left and chooses the right, yeah, it pisses me off a little.

I’ve got enough power that I can overtake without downshifting and I definitely take advantage of that.

The week after that:

“So, we sold another one of those Renntech ECU upgrades for the twin-turbo AMGs? The 900 hp/tq ones?”

“ Yep. Guy probably wants to chew up some Hellcats. Also, did you notice the massive bulge in his pants? ”

“Yeah! Looked like he was smuggling a zucchini!”

“ Seriously! And not one of those little Whole Foods organic zucchinis. That thing was like full out Monsanto GMO mutant zucchini. ”

“This is a pretty fuckin weird conversation, Steve.”

I have 600+ torque at like 1800 RPM. I can pass literally 99.999 percent of cars on the road in 7th gear barely idling.

That’s epic torques, like Duramax torques.

My boss has a Z4M roadster, and decided he needed a supercharger after a modified Mustang walked on him one time. Ha!

If there’s room to pass on the right, there’s room for you to move over...

Oh yeah, well I’ve got 180- torque available at like 4000 rpm and I can pass almost nothing. Our Cummins at work with a 12k+ lbs trailer will out pace it. The Duracrap won’t though.

Dear Mr. McThugmode,

I was impressed with your unsolicited display of manliness, truly I was. I considered moving two lanes to the left to pass you in a “proper” manner, but I knew it was pointless - the waves of testosterone exuding from your exhaust told me that you would see that as a challenge and would try to “race” me no matter which lane I chose. Seeing that we were both ignoring the general rule (slower traffic move right) and I had an exit coming up, I didn’t think you would mind so much. I see I was wrong.

Sincerely,

Justin Ahurry

Seriously, I hate it when people decide that I want to race them just because I’m in a zippy car. I’m just in a hurry to get where I’m going. I can’t help what lane they are in when I catch up to them. I’m obviously going faster, therefore it is obvious that I want to race. Nope. I just want to get around them in the most efficient manner.

Given that U.S. drivers don’t give a damn about their lane position or speed, it’s generally safer for me to maintain my lane position than it is to move a couple of lanes just to go around someone who decided to go slower than I am but didn’t move all the way to the right.

When they are sitting in the left lane, I have found that it takes less time to go around than to come up behind and wait for them to move over.

Funny, I experienced both of these situations just last night. A left-lane sitter in a Lexus, and a wannabe racer in a Maxima. Please people, just get the hell out of the way!

I have mixed opinions of this car but one thing I will say unequivocally: the torque is ridiculous.

how do you like that

Any thoughts on what you’ll get next? Obviously since you want a manual MB is out. I’m thinking of jumping into the E Coupe next depending on when the new C coupe makes it to dealers and when my lease is up. Porsche for you maybe?

It's the only one you can get with a manual actually

Sheesh and that V6 exhaust still sounds godly.
