Almost beat my first luxury car

[da5deuce]

On the way to a basketball game and I pulled up on a Bentley. Traffic, so it wasn't gonna happen but the little acceleration we did get I was in second and he took the hit and I spun from 3k rpm to 4200"ish" and was about to pull ahead. Had my 6'3 240lb "little" brother(I'm 6'1 280) in the car but his ass didn't help with traction. Either way I tried to follow behind him but it wasn't opening up.

Did a little research and It's the Bentley flying spur coupe(aka baby Bentley?). 4L twin turbo V8 all wheel drive, 7spd(?) Auto. Car was BEAUTIFUL! Guy had tint so couldn't see what his response was. Wanted to know whether he was surprised or not lol.

The kicker is the curb weight. 5300+ lbs! Definitely wanted to see how that would've turned out.

beautiful car but heavy as ****. probably would of been a good race id give the edge to you.

Another decade and a new Camry will weigh that. I agree it's a beautiful car, but I have no idea why it could possibly need to weigh that much.

did you miss this part? "4L twin turbo V8 all wheel drive, 7spd(?) Auto". None of that equals lightweight, plus add in the real wood dash, huge power leather seats with heat and a/c, 18 airbags, 24 speaker stereo or whatever they come with, etc.... Luxury is heavy.

man they are some gorgeous cars. They are heavy because they use actual material with lots of options. Far from a Camry lol

And there's another engine that can be chosen also. 616hp.W12. I'd imagine that it's an aluminum block and aluminum heads setup(obviously) but still that has to be another extra 50-100 lbs? Also while reading the article they mentioned that it lost nearly 110lbs.

LOL!!!! i actually gave it some serious though on the drive to the office this morning. It's just so damn hard. there are some classics i would like, but it's not fair to leave out some of the game changing vehicles we have now. 10 just isn't enough. You have my word, i will finish this list. It's been a year since i started it lol.
