Funny. Never once did I think that the X6M was even close in matching 1/4 mile speeds with that hot rod...

...but I understand his anger. Gotta love marketing.

..."Nines" of any range, are serious 1/4 mile times. Hot/worked
bike range, and really hot for anything 4 wheels, not prostock or fuel...

Crummy photoshop, too.

Pretty clever marketing IMO.

The drag-guy is taking pretty seriously.

The X5M is likely quicker than most hot rod era cars - including my 427 cid '69 Camaro.

the funny thing is none of these idiots at the drag can read. C&D never said in the article that they beat the chevy. So at the end of the day who cares.. The only thing you can imply on that picture it is much more easier to launch that the chevy...
