So a buddie of mine has a Supercharged 2008 Range Rover, when i bought my Coupe i was bugging him to race, all he could say was that he would win. So being a little smart ass i asked him what the 1/4 mile times were for his vehicle was, how much it weighed and what the 0-60 time was. he replied "i don't know its just faster because its supercharged". So just to rub it in his face that the GC is lighter and faster i just looked up the information.


2008 Range Rover supercharged
1/4 mile 15.68 sec @ 92.93 miles an hour
0-60 7.2 sec
and weight 5673lbs

2010 3.8 GC
1/4 mile14.0 @101.0 miles an hour
0-60 5.5 sec
weight 3478 lbs hmmm which is faster?

sorry guys had to vent lol hate it when ppl don't know much about their vehicles and always say mine is faster blah blah blah

guys seriously who gives two sh*ts about drag races. cool, you can go straight for ~13 seconds and MAYBE hit 100mph. ask your buddy to take his range rover to a track day at a road course and see who DOESN'T die after one hard turn, I guarantee you will win :rofl:

not to mention, he's driving a car that most people only acquire by giving some really good bj's lol (gold diggers) so yes, women will love it, but he bought a really fast expensive car that can't really do much of anything that a fast expensive car is supposed to do. shows that he isn't THAT concerned with performance or he'd be in a GTR, m3, m5, amg, rs, etc... ie. something that can actually carry said speed through a corner without falling on its ass.

oh, and if you're as concerned as some people in the thread about women liking your car, just get a different front grille that has no emblem and debadge the trunk...there, you're in a shiny sports car in a woman's head now. Not many women that are impressed by random expensive crap actually know what about it is impressing them. Just tell them the GC is a bentley or a ferrari or something lol, trust me, they won't know the difference.

I'll go on record to say that I the only type of people I see driving Range Rovers are either chach-burger d-bags and stuck-up botox chics who don't know how to drive in the first place. Generally lacking in the car knowledge department, this group will also be known for not having earned the money to buy the overpriced vehicle themselves, as it is usually purchased by a sugar-daddy or trust-fund beneficiary.

Why are you "friends" with this guy again?

the only reason why I even slightly care is because of the tool bag in beverly hills who floored it at a light and cut me off. I wanted to repeat the same measure to him at the next light, but I never assume. wasn't going to take the chance of being embarrassed lol.
