Raced a A6 4.2, M5, and SL500

Both kicked my ass, I had about a 28 mile ride to work in Jersey and I was late leaving the city, to my surprise when I got on to RT. 80 I saw my boss' red A6 4.2, pulled along side him at 2:01 pm, he proceded to floor it and pulled ahead of me from that point on it was full throttle he was ahead most of the time until some traffic enabled me to catch up to him, and pass him, needless to say we got to work at 2:11pm, you do the math. The M5 was another day and he just kicked my ass but lack of balls on his part enabled me to catch up at 125-130 when he let up, but what a site it was so see that car acclerate the way it did. The SL500 was dead even until 120 and he pulled away ever so slightly, but that was before I installed 400-500 lbs of stereo equipment. Is it me or does 4th gear seem way to tall??
