Last night my friend and I were heading to dinner when we see this chick in a X5 trying to keep up with us. (FYI I have a 05 6MT) After a few min of racing around eachother we wind up at a red light, where after further inspection I find that she's rollin around in the 4.8is. Anyway, light turns green, i didn't get the best start, but i won every aspect of the race. I could see myself gain distance on every shift. At around 100mph we both shut down and I had a little over a car length on her. If i had a better launch I could have put at least two on her. Anyway, it was a very good race, those SUV's are quick, still no match for the G...

 

hmmz...does this mean that 4.8 X5s can take you?
i should try it (i have AT )

 

my bad, i meant to say 4.8is... I've edited my above post.

 

you know that they made 4.6 tho right?
there are 3.0,4.4,4.6,4.8...
4.6 wasnt very popular...

 

Did the 4.6 have quad exhaust? This one did. I was also on some pretty cool black rims. Anyway, I just got done looking at the 0-60 time for the 4.8is and it's 5.9, which is about what i had assumed judging from the race.. Anyway, they are $71,000 MSRP and a 4.8 liter V8. Very happy with how the 3.5 V6 did.
