E500 vs Jag S-Type

This might not even be worthy but I was minding my business in the center lane of our 215 highway when a black Jag S-Type (looked relatively new) comes flying up in my rear view mirror. Then he slows down next to me (about 70mph) and keeps looking over. Wasn't looking for trouble but I was like "fine". Light traffic, perfect for some basic slalom. I hit it left around the car in front and he stayed in the right lane. Only lasted a mile or two cause when I looked back didn't seem like he wanted to go over 120+. I slowed back down and he hanged back for a while then took an exit after about 3-4 miles.

Probably a timid driver cause I'm no pro but I didn't get an E500 to cruise the whole time.

Thats my $0.02

Yah your right, just looked up the difference. Should have done that before I posted. After looking, thought the S-Type had better stats. No glory there. I am tempted to go back and edit my post saying I did it in my ML320 (kidding). lol

4.0 S-Type is rated at 281 horses power, but those are some of the lazy *** horses.

Very slow cars.
