I guess I’m just out of the loop on modern cars and surprised a road car weighing that much can get off the line and up to 60 with out altering the space time continuum
Most powerful RS audi's will beat bikes from 0-60. Bikes strength isnt off the line.......

And the idiot above who brake checks people every day, I look forward to seeing your thread moaning when someone fails to stop and caves your boot in... not worth it fella

The A7 that I had a little duel with was wearing a RS badge
Whatever about putting an M badge on a non-M car or an S badge on a non-S car (given those letters also denote trim levels now), it takes a special kind of wanker to put an RS badge on a non-RS car. To me that is akin to putting an M3 badge (as opposed to just an M on its own) on a 3 series.

100% agreed however, I have seen exactly that more times than I care to count.

So you are holding someone up and then still brake check them when they tell you to move?

i'm not quite sure how tail gating someone is telling someone to move?

Well if doing 30 in a 30 zone and some one is rammed up your arse and i'm "holding them up" then i've got no snags with slowing down a bit, i'm not talking slamming on the anchors here, i like my car

What would you do is someone was stuck about a foot behind you and your doing the speed limit in a built up area? no where to pull over?
does that not annoy you? does my nut in, i tend to find people tail gate as they aren't quick enough to overtake or have a chip on there shoulder and have to race every BMW trying to get to work.

Indeed, I get this literally every morning as I do a 5am run down the M1/M25 to Surrey and I get these tools all the time.. I stick to the limits on these "Smart Motorways" and if they don't like looking at my rear end then they tend to undertake.

What cracks me up is they give it all this erratic lane changing and sitting up peoples arses yet, I sit and cruise in my lane and get where I'm going just as quick as they do, faster in many cases.

Had a bit of fun with a M240i today. Left it a fair way behind but I'm not really running my car to it's full potential right now with the weather being so crap.
It was fun

Never really do that kind of thing. There usually isn't enough space. I'm very rarely on a motorway and 3 seconds of throttle means triple figures from a rolling start.
