I read this for the last few minutes and not sure how to take it?I don’t really want to make a comment and seem like a dick if I’m wrong and you’re just messing with me.But for the record I easily have over a Million dollars CLEAR in real estate,but love my little Z-71 and am hating on trading it in this summer even though that 08 Escalade EXT is calling.
The only reason I started this thread was I was curious who would win.
Now if I came on here and said I owned a 740 and what a retard he was for paying that much,These I could see some of these comments.

Was nothing against your truck or your real estate. Just some newb laughing about pwning a 75k luxo car in a chevy truck.

That’s a pretty retarded statement don’t you think? I’m sure at no point this guy wish he had the truck because it got through the tolls quicker. Believe it or not, people purchase vehicles without caring about power, numbers, or skid pad ratings.

do you think a ferrari owner gets a “slap in the face” when he sees you hauling a sheet of dry wall? probably not.

just for clarification the only reason i thought it was funny was because according to fuzzy, the guy in the bimmer was being a dueschebag, as far as i can read from the story, he didnt set the cruise at 55 while sipping a mocha latte on the way to the opera when a truck came out of nowhere and did a flyby.

the guy in the bimmer was provocating and was the aggressor and its not outlandish to think that a truck of similar weight and power with intake exhaust and gears couldnt at least hang with a 7 series, especially if he wasnt going 100%

z-71 with minor mods (intake and exhaust) 1/4 Mile = 16.0 sec. @ 88.7mph

thats with the 4.8, not the 5.3

OOps sorry bout that.
It was def. an ‘il’ tho so I guess would have to be a 00 or older.If the 4.8 ran stock 16.0,I would think I should be around 15.5.I checked the 1/4 mile times of 95 740il’s and it said 15.9/16.0.
Should be safe to say I would get the nod in a very close race.
Still couldn’t Justify paying $100K on a new 7 series tho.

I disagree with the idea that someone driving a BMW doesn’t mind that his car can be beaten by a Chebby, or some other (in his eyes) POS. How do I know they mind? Because a lot of them have tried to race me, and a lot of them have lost!!! And they didn’t look any too happy about it.

[MPD47]

Wow, some good reasoning right there! Somehow I think it was more along the lines of “What the hell is this asshole doing /grumpy BMW driver” How do I know? Because I think the same thing half the time I get some idiot running hard next to me when all I’m trying to do is maintain speed at a spirited pace in the bimmer.

LOL yeah same thing when I have the Vette out
Ya have to figure tho I was already in a hurry shifting at around 4,500, And my truck is pretty loud and I see him catching up to me,he must have had it floored.How many ppl do you know that flat out floor it coming out of the tolls?
Get on it yes,but not 7,000 RPM’s.I figure he was just planning on blowing past me to show off.I may be wrong,but what I think.

Not doubting you beat him, just saying I tend to wind out gears ESPECIALLY coming out of the booths, and I’m known to be a bit of an ass to everyone “trying to merge”. I’m sure he was probably thinking you’re some dumb redneck or something and you got the jump on him and pissed him off

I know when I get my ass handed to me by stock luminas to the merge before my street, I get quite angry. Infact my head just blows clear off my shoulders. True story.
