Street Racing & Kill Stories - Bentley Continental GT

My boss has a new Bentley Continental GT. We were both driving to a meeting and I was following him in my 02 Z28. I got next to him at a light with no traffic ahead. He rolled down his window and asked if my car was fast off the line. I told him that it was hard to launch so he would win. I know he loves to drive fast, and I new he wanted to race me. The light turned and he got a jump. That beast makes 552 hp and has AWD. He got about 1/2 car but by the time I nailed third, I had him by a 1/2. I ended up about a car ahead of him when we shut down at about 80 or so.

Wow, what the heck does your boss do?

The Bentley continental is a PIG though, its as big as a tank.

A pig? It's a 12 second car. 552 hp twin turbo W12. Check these out.

*edit* My boss has a few million bucks. He has patents on some sports equipment. He's been through a bunch of cars. He had a nice 360 Modena and Porsche Turbo that he recently sold. He also has a 426 Cobra (I think it's real) and a bunch of other Mercedes Benz and Caddy's.

I think what he means is that it's heavy. They are nice and I'm glad they gave it a good bit of power to go with that weight.

He's right. It is heavy. Over 5000 lbs. I guess it does over 190 once it gets moving. I'm glad I didn't run him on the freeway.
