Smile I just got SMOKED by a X5 4.6is...lol...

I'm still laughing at this. He pulled up next to me and I pointed forward. I just picked up the car today with the new tranny so figured I need to see how this new ECU is and whether they put it all together correctly.

Light goes green and that bastard is just GONE!.....man... :wow:

I caught up with him at the next light and rolled down the window saying "I knew you'd kill me, I just wanted to see by how much!"

He had about 2 car lengths on me (at least).......I'm bone stock under the hood....the new tires help my grip though off the start.

What a laugh...next time, I'll stick to racing in my class

100th post! Woohoo!

LOL... I love the X5s. I smoked a Trans Am/Firebird... whatever that body style is last night, and I'm all stock except for CAI. I thought it was kinda funny.... we were getting on the freeway, he passed me at the last second kinda cutting me off, so I stayed on his ass on the onramp and flew past him - he was pretty pissed about that! Good try at least! I bet we could absolutley beat the piss out of the 3.0 X5 though.

Had to have been a V6 Firebird. Trans Ams are V8's (325+hp @ the wheels). The V6's sure give a good run though. Few simple mods and they're pushin some good power.

lol theres some badass cars over on your side of the city!! The worst is when I got destroyed by a porsche 911 turbo. The guy easily had 8-10 car lenghts on me by 70 mph. I knew I was gonna loose I was just suprised that he wasted the gas on me!

Nice one half and congrat on your 100th post!

There are some really nice car's around here.....I saw some (extremely fortunate I might add) fella driving around my neighborhood in a stunning lamborghini murcielago :wow: :wow: :wow: !!

If I were to pull up next to him, I'd put my car in park and just watch him rocket off!

I know Kobe Bryant has a yellow Murcielago, and he certainly fits the description of a "basketball player." Plus, you're both in LA too.:p

I got smoked by Ford Escort the other day. I wound 1st to redline; thinking it wasn't going to do the automatic shift from 1st to 2nd, I pushed forward on the shift. I must have done it at the same time the automatic shift happened because I went into 3rd gear. I had no power at that point, the Escort beat me.

Hafids get the headers and an AEM CAI- you'll love the power. Best two mods I ever did. I have the same car you do! Gets you pretty close to Type-S performance.
