went up against a BMW X5 4.8is

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...

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.
