OK, my first trip with the X5 and it was to Vegas. This thing was so stable and solid on the Hwy 15. The 4.6 moves pretty good. Not super fast, but the speed is deceiving. You get going fast than it feels.
I had only one competition of speed this trip. Guy in Dodge Truck thinking his hemi is the sh&t. I am moving through traffic with these damn semi's who keep passing and slowing traffic down. I come up on the right side and the Hemi guy floors it to close the door on my entry to the fast lane. So I get behind him. The lane opens up on both sides and he goes WOT. I down shift to 4th as we were doing about 80 already. He got a 3-4 second jump on me but as I started to close the gap pretty easy I get up on the right side and just walk this guy at about 110.
On the way back I had some open road and it was just too inviting. Doing 90 already I drop to 4th and drop the hammer . I hit 150 at ease going up a slight upgrade.
Letting of the gas the X slows pretty quick with out any braking. It felt so good I did it one more time. Damn the X was loving that speed. Felt so solid to the ground and felt she had more in her for sure.
Got to get the Dinan engine software, no speed limiter then.
