05 E55 vs 2008 Bentley Flying spur

Haven't been here in a while , but have a nice story to tell .

Driving down a pretty busy street in Philly and i see a black bentley going lane to lane. I catch up at a red light, open my window and tell the gents inside the bentley to race me. in their 40's they laugh and tell me i have no chance.

So we start off and second gear i started pulling on them pretty hard, reached about 90 and left them about 2 cars behind. The street was completely empty , we pretty much just dragged down.

the nxt light we stop at and he yells wt" what is that thing, "lets go again" he says .

this time i reached about 120, leaving them a school bus behind. He looked SAD LOL .

My 05 e55 designo is completely stock with a few exterior upgrades.

So the 200k worth Bentley really aint sh"t ..

Dragtimes shows stock ones running mid-low 13s @ 105-107. Not surprised you spanked him.

I drove three of those W12s in the Bentley (including two coupes) and that motor is just lacking any real thrust. Bad design.

Not sure why anyone in a mid 13 second car is telling someone they have no chance. That was fairly fast in the early 90's. It's not anymore.

I wouldnt associate a Bentley with a drag car. I've not been in one, but imagine they would be nice to be in.
