Ok so not sure why im posting this Just bored i guess.

Came up behind a range rover (normal one) supercharged today on the way to work and we were both stuck behind a slow car, the time came and he swung out and pinned it, I did the same. Now I know its supercharged but in 3rd gear I thought I would have him but no, basically we were an eye for an eye all the way, I wasn't gaining and he wasn't leaving me.

Tbh I know its fast for a range rover but I thought I would have him.

Ahh well, still happy with the GP just thought id share.

No, but you wouldnt have "smoked" him. They are quite fast you know, 8.3 to 60 for the 4.4 N/A engine
