BLKCLK550

So i was in mexico and i see this brand spanking new 2010 BMW X5M, he was driving a bit wreckles. Then a E350 starts going in front of me and the X5M, trying to play i guess.
X5 gets on the gas so do i right behind him he can't lose me at all, i am right on his tail he goes from middle lane to right lane and i go to the left lane.
I am about to pass him and then boom he starts switching in to me at about 130MPH, i thought he will see me but no, i was about 10 inches from his driver side door. i slammed my brakes so hard that my tires started skiding. So now i am thinking... did that car need a better driver?
thats a 4.4 TT 550 HP car with 501 TQ..... i know the weight of the car is 5368lbs and i am at about 3700 thats 1668lbs difference but i was expecting him to just walk me easy...

Interesting story but if you slammed on your brakes, your car shouldn't have gone into a skid...ABS? The M should have walked on you but maybe it's a new car and/or the driver isn't used to the car. They only have been out for a month or two.

At those speeds the X5 is like a brick.

it wasnt like a brutal skid it was a quick skid sound cause i braked very hard.

hmm I dunno, 550bhp vs 380. Brick or not the X5M should have ran away.

The X5M should have wrecked you down low, but at 130+mph that thing has to displace enough air to fill the Hindenberg every second.

Power to weight racial is very close but aerodynamics at those speeds will slow down the X5.As long as its from a roll the CLK should win.

weight and aerodynamics...

look at the latest trap speed for the X5M... 108.5.

Just about even with a any 5.5L car. CLK550/E550/CLS550.

It quick from the get go.. due to AWD and torque monster and launch control.
