Las Vegas Road Trip Race
So last weekend ( Friday ) morning took my management team to Las Veags from Los Angeles for some R&R going about 70mph with only my GM in my E63.
What do I see ahead of my on a wide open road? Gold Lamborghini Gallardo LP550 ( I know this car because my GM has this car ) and was challenged by my GM saying it'll eat me alive. Pulled up next to it in sports + and AMG mode. Honked my horn and jumped little ahead of him and slowed down and the race was on from about 75mph when we both punched it.
I took my E63 up to 165mph ( first time ) and the Lambo was about 4-5 cars length behind and arrived in Vegas with a smile on my face while my GM didn't speak much.

Yes my GM knows about my mods, but he just couldn't got over the fact a super car like his Lambo could keep up with a 4 door sedan. This is the fun part seeing jaws drop when our E63 passes them. Yes there was a passenger in the Gallardo.

Thanks. He bought it at the end of last year when he got his bonus because he gave my company, a furniture manufacturer based in Shanghai 2 great years in a row.
There is an old saying in the chinese culture, don't drive a better car than your boss to work. He does until he saw what a AMG can do. Lol.

I've raced 3 Gallardos in my modded E55 and none of them were close. Only one was a freeway roll on like yours (75-175) but I still put at least 10 cars on it. I know there are different versions of Gallardos and I couldn't tell you which ones I raced so my input is purely anecdotal.
