raced an X5 3.0i

I raced an X5 3.0i right after I got my stock 3.2CL(non S). We lined up on a deserted road nearby and we knew what was comming next. Right after he gave the signal, we both floored it and the rest is history. The CL does not have the type of torque neccessary for extremely fast launches, however this did not pose a problem against my much heavier and underpowered counterpart. By the time we hit 85 I had nearly a 6 car lead, and continued to pull. I guess that's what happens when you have the same amount of hp, with 2/3's the weight.

Have you ever thrown a meatloaf? Those things cut through the air rather well if you toss em like a football.
