Default Ran a BMW 7 Series

Didn't think he was going to go at the light, had a 1/4 car jump on me, kept it the whole run. No time to turn of T/C.

My car pulled 2 times on him (slightly), more than likely while he was shifting. Other than that the cars were equal. Not too bad for less than 1/2 the price!

I think he thought I was a V6 - If I would of had my Z I would have dusted it!

745 I'm assuming? Good run! Ya you're car is way lighter and the LS4 has more torque. If it was a 750 or 760 it would have put up more of a fight though.

I ran my CEO's 750 Li brand new with paper tags.
Was not the best run but he rolled up on me at a light after lunch. him and a couple other execs all smiling and revving. me alone.
I had a good launch small chirp. I don't think he launched too good he was busy looking at me laughing and revving. LOL I jumped a car and a half. He got on it for a bit but no way he was gonna catch up so he gave up. He has been driving same model for the past two years so he should know the car he traded in same body style but earlier year 750 Li for this one. Anyways when they pulled up next to me in the lot they were laughing but not as cocky.
Car is helluva nice and roomy I fit in the backseat with legroom to spare and I am 6'9''. I never seen such big car with such a small turning radius. He had to make a u turn on a small two lane road and it did it without him having to put it in reverse. No way in hell the Monte would've been able to do it.
Engine is a 4.8 V8 360HP and 360 tq, it weights about 4500lbs and BMW says it does 0-60 in 5.8 sec.
