Default killed a range rover!

so i was rolling down norvell bryant hwy. and rolled up next to a range rover at the stop light, as i pulled up next to him i noticed it had the "supercharged" decals on it. so being in the mood to waste some 93 octane, i gave him a nice little rev. the driver was roughly in his forty's, with a dress suit on. so he gave my truck a glance, and looked back at the light, it turns green and we both start rolling to about 30 mph, we both go wot, i start spinning alittle, i pull him by a full link at first. by the time i shut it down at 80mph (at the request of my screaming mom , who i just took to the dentist) i still had a half of a link on him. he fly's by and continues to go wot, to what i would estimate 100+.

either i have the little engine that could , or he was playing with me
i would tend to believe the latter, but it was still a fun race


here is what it looked like, except with supercharged decals.

Possible that you beat him, that picture is an 09 and the supercharged version only made 400hp and did 0-60 in 6.9. However if it was a 2010 model, he was probably playing with you, 510/461 on tap with the new one, 0-60 in 5.9 iirc.

Depends, get the 70k version with ford engine and cheap wood, or get the 100k version powered by bmw. Loaded with way better materials as well.

Bmw engines were used in 03, 04 and 05 4.4l Full size range only
Then switched to a 4.4l stroked version of jaguars 4.2
2010--- 5.0 engine either NA or SC JAGUAR developed (with FORD's money)

I beat my buddy's stock rover but his didn't have supercharger vs my 5.3 with dual exhaust cat stock tune. To be honest their heavy *** vehicles with little aerodynamics and comfort level really isn't what you pay for.
