a very quick x6

[Matt82]

i had an encounter with a very quick x6 earlier (wasnt an M though) but it sailed past 130 and appeared to keep going.

ive put the reg into eurocarparts and all it says is 3.0, no idea if its diesel or not

not only was it amazing to see such performance from a car to big but regardless of fuel, amazing that it was such a small engine.

when i spec up a petrol 3.0 i can only pick upto 2009 and his reg is 2010 and has different oil filters so i can only assume it was a diesel too

all i can think is they make huge horses in whatever factory it came from

KM/H? or were you just being a bell end?

 

[Matt82]

not kmh and yes ive just got off the eurotunnel from germany etc

One of these blasted past me recently at very illegal speeds, for such a big barge they can certainly shift.

ive just been on youtube, they are absurd regardless of being diesel or petrol

the run started as a slip road straightened, 80mph in 4th, i only realised there was bait to be taken when the massive thing shot past me on this long tight slip road.

we got to the autobahn and i was already at the top of 4th (really silly speeds already), he was waving as i passed him, i carried on going in 5th, i saw 5.6krpm and wasnt leaving him and shortly after realised how stupid it was and backed out, he just carried on soaring past accelerating away.

if the run wasnt uphill then i think it would have been a very different story

What car are you in at the moment?

Wouldn't have been the Diesel going past 130!

 

[Matt82]

look how it does compared to an a5 2.0 tfsi

at the time i was in the mk4 1.8t

 

[Matt82]

i recon it had to be that

slow cars playing race cars... not trolling, but it's no rocket ship by a long long LONG way. The whole thing seems a bit pointless

it's never gonna be a epic show down, more a epic slow down

Why not my 35D had a top speed of 147mph.

I hate those stupid bmw 4x4's, driven by toss pots and pointless off road.

It'd just be an XDrive40d.

Its quick for what it is but with 0-60 in 6.5 its not a supercar. Mind you you dont need a huge amount of power to make a Golf look slow

 

[Sin_Chase]

6.5 seconds to 60 in a car of that size is reasonably quick though

 

[[TW]Fox]

Absolutely but the fact it left him standing is more a testement to how not quick his Golf is

 

[Firestar_3x]

Indeed, I’ve noticed over the years that it takes an appreciable difference in power between cars to really leave something for dead.

Ugly beasts though.

Indeed, I’ve noticed over the years that it takes an appreciable difference in power between cars to really leave something for dead.

And how much of a difference them or you being on the power faster makes. A good second reaction time if they boot it + the time you have not noticed they are already flooring it is just as important as the power difference in the first place.

IE - Road Racing is hardly a good level playing field in the best of times

I quite like the X6, my friend has a X35d and I was surprised how quick it is.

Were you doing 130mph in a golf?

 

[Matt82]

i think it may have been beyond 140 when i backed off wondering why the 4x4 wouldnt go away
