Default First race in my V1 vs BMW 750Li

I bought my V back in January and never really had a chance to run anyone... until yesterday on my way home from work.

It was a current BMW 750Li (F02 I believe) and was driving like an asshat, showing off his fancy car to us plebs. I managed to get behind him in at the next lights. His tires chirped and I knew he was off to show others how awesome he was.

I floored my V and by the time I was grabbing third I was almost side by side with him. Halfway through third I was half a car ahead and top of third he was behind my rear bumper. I could see in my side mirror he was scowling at my car, either figuring out what it was or how the hell that happened by a Cadillac of all cars

Looking up the specs, I guess it's not the best kill. But it's still a kill

4.4 twin turbo V8
439hp 480tq
but its a massive 4400lb.

Good kill. Once their moving, the V1s are pretty stout.

Looks like the newer 750i is strong. The older ones are slow.

Reviews rate it anywhere from 4.8-5.3 0-60 and mid to high 13's. Pretty quick for a land barge.

good kill. side by side dig race would have been worse for him considering you started from a car back.
