Range Rover Sport Supercharged vs. C55 AMG
So there I was, in my RRS, on friday driving my wife to work. We were behind a line of traffic, two lanes, and moving forward at about 15 mph. There was a school bus on left. As we proceeded forward, a C55, coming from the opposite lane, decided to make a left turn, through traffic, and as she peaked around the school bus, we "drove over her". Needless to say my Rover won. I don't have pics of the Benz, as it was taken to a different location but damage: Front passenger tire/axel bent. Airbag deployed, engine dropped, hood, fender and bumper, mangled. Here is the only damage to my truck. My airbag didn't even go off. Now I know, the rover weighs 2 x that of the C55, but damn! I guess I win...

You must like picking on cars with your SUV you big bully. How about we go toe to toe in my X5 vs. your RRS and see how you fare then.
By your description its sounds like you totaled the C55. You should put a benz star sticker on your door with a cross going through it representing a kill just like a fighter pilot puts on his plane.

Curb weight on the RRS supercharged is 5670 lbs and curb weight on the X5 4.8is is 5016 lbs. I don't think 600 lbs is going to make that much of a difference in a head on. Thanks though for your uneducated comment.

I'll put m money on the Rover over the Bimmer anyday.. :-)
I don't know if I totalled it, but got the police report. The driver (woman) was cited for improper turn and failure to yield to on comming traffic.
