Exclamation Crazy Drivers

Watch these psychos in an M5 and RS4 battle through European rush hour. So many close calls! In the US it could never work, people would be TRYING to hit you.

Geez......some ppl...
If I hadn't known better I would've thought it was some sort of a video game demo.

damn, couple of things

1) you would imagine two idiots will just become idiot + idiot, you never imagine it would become idiot ^ 2
2) those people are too dangerous to own cars like the m5 and the rs6
3) the m5 lost to the rs6? sux

From what I can see, it's an RS4.

But I agree, totally idiotic and endangering others' lives. That being said, it does look kinda fun. I also read the RS4 was making 4xx hp (probably to the ground), but I'm not sure how reliable that source is, however, seeing the vid, I wouldn't doubt it.

actually this video was posted on racing flix, the m5 was a stock late 90's/early 2xxx (not up on bimmer body style numbers), the rs4 was tuned to around 600hp. either way its an insane video

that video reminds me of those video games where you have to weave in and out of traffic fast. i just wish i could find a screenshot!

i did, however, find an online game that reminds me of what they did. redline rumble.
