Spanked a Murano
i dont usually race many people but tonight i was on my way home and as i left a light that just turned green i noticed this white SUV trying to pass me off the light so i nailed it. i was suprised he kept up to my rear bumper but wasnt gaining on me. we came to another light and this time i was expecting a launch. i got about 1 car on him by 2nd gear and in 3rd i pulled another 1 car length or so.
i came home to look up a Murano on the net to see what they are rated for because it was pretty fast. it has 245 HP and does a 1/4 in 15.9 secs. oddly enough a comparo to the honda pilot which i also own and they said both cars run nearly identical times.
whats more interesting is the Murano has a CVT and damn near the same hp and torque as my Pilot and the pilot is an 03 with a 4 speed auto. would have thought a Murano would have run a faster 1/4 with that setup.
oh well it was fun to see the guy pissed that he lost.
