Default S4 -1, Jaguar XK-R 0, MB E430 - 0

So I was shocked that I beat the Jaguar. I stayed at this girls house last night, and I've never been to her house before. Turns out her parents are wealthy so she has a stable of half-decent cars, one of them being a Convertible XK-R ... She wanted to see if my car was as fast on her way to work, and on my way home.

So we make the left onto Route 9 and gun it .. I stay exactly behind her and feel myself inching forward ever so slightly ... Once we reached around 110 I started to pull ahead of her. I kept the car in 5th gear till I shut it down shy of 120 (shut it down once i started to pass her). So I closed a very big gap. This car was an automatic .. not sure if they come in standard. I just saw they are 390hp?! .. wtf .. do I have a fast stock S4 or something? .. having beat an EVO up top as well as a XK-R ... and the MB came later .. Surprisingly fast but once the top of the third hit I was gone.

So that's my story. That Jaguar is a beautiful car with the air slits on the hood and all .. looks like a ferrari. Maybe I was so fast because of a new oil change yesterday. =]

Default well a fast car only reaches its true potential with an advanced driver

I'm guessing you're a better driver (racer) than she is.
