[s-cars] How to successfully take on an 03 M5 with a 95 S6

Hi List,

So I had the wife, sleeping kid and a trunk full  of crap in the car
yesterday when I saw a nice new M5 with a very proud owner showing off
his/its ability to beat the heck out of a Pontiac Vibe or something like it.
I was curious and told my wife that she would have to excuse my next move
which she did. I pull up behind the M5 as someone had taken the spot next to
it. My wife wisely said how will you know if the guy is trying to pull away
from you to which I answered you will see!..Sure enough the light turns green
and our new friend in his M5 starts out with lots of wheel spin in first gear
so I have to hold back, second gear and more wheel spin in front of us and
the rearended of the M5 is starting to move all over the road. Third gear and
we are really going good now with very little speed difference but
unfortunately traffic is getting close up ahead so the game must end. I think
it is the last time he plays with an S6. The guy looked at us like a bad
smell that just would not go away..

I should mention that the conditions 20 F the road was dry and we were on a
long hill and my car is chipped and it was just washed.

That made my February
