07 SS/SC vs Range Rover Supercharged then SE-R Spec V
On my way to my friends house to do a stereo install I was on interstate and was being tail gated by a Range Rover then from 80 I down shifted into 3rd and took off. At first I pulled close to 5 cars on him then he started gaining on me and as I was hitting 140 we were dead even and he got me and started creeping farther and farther ahead of me untill he was close to 10 cars in front and I shut it down. 
Well after that I met up with my friend who has a 05 SE-R Spec V with Nismo Intake, Headers, Deleted Cat and a Meagan Exhaust and he was braggin how fast his car is. SO we found a back road with a straight away and I let him get infront and start on his on accord and he guns its out of 2nd and 2nd and 3rd were pure even but once I got in 4th I started gaining and started closed the gap and endend up 3 cars infront. I was surprised, those SE-R's are faster than I thought.

My buddy has an 04 SER with full bolt ons, and I have to admit, that thing is quick. That engine responds very well to breather mods. I tried to get him on the dyno last weekend, but his exhaust was making funny noises. From a roll he hangs pretty well with me, when I was stock he was head to head.
LOL!

I had one of those blown Rovers doing the same thing to me on the highway. (Tailgating and general instagating) After 5 minutes or so I had enough, slowed down, let the Jabrone pull even with me, let him hit it first, then WOT and put a car length or two on him, shut it down. Thought to myself, not bad for a Rover as he did an Englishman drive by in full snobbery. Of course as soon as I got home I had to look up the specs of the Rover - and said Cool, 205hp vs 390hp and the SS scores a W (ok the Rover has a couple thousand lbs more mass)
