1995 E34 vs. 2006 Jaguar X-TYPE

[saj3n]

Another one of these stories....

A friend of mine had his lady in the car and we both rolled up to a spot light. He decided he wanted to test his 2006 Jag against a 11 year older BMW 530i Auto...

So we take off, (me in sport mode S4) and by the time I hit 40mph, he's a car length ahead of me!

But wait.... :-D

I look at his car and it seems like he's braking.... but he's not. At 80mph I'm 3 car lengths ahead. These cars give people that false sense of hope when taking off from the line. Yes, we're heavy and slow to start, but once we do, its all over.

Makes me feel good about this car. And I'm keeping it! No matter how much more money I need to put into it to get it together.

His car:




P.S. it was 4am on the nicest, straightest 6 lane street in Philadelphia. (Had to keep it as safe as possible)
