Well, when theres nothing much to do , its time for some highway fun. Me , my friends decide to go for a run on a nice little stretch of highway called the M2. Cars involved are HSV Senator (auto) boasting around 350bhp and a Holden Monaro( manual ) ( Pontiac GTO ) boasting around 355bhp. And ofcourse - My M3 , with 343hp and the marvellous S54 I-6.

Down to Business!
1st run - HSV senator Vs M3: Hit it from 3rd and continously pulled 3-4 cars to about 200km/h ( 140mph ).

2nd run - Monaro vs M3 : Again from 3rd, he got the jump, but i was pulling him in very quickly! Ended up going right up to 220kmh (150mph? ) before we shutdown , while i was still in front ofcourse ;)

After all that, out of no where appears a Ford XR6 Turbo. You guys in the states are probably wondering what the heck that is.
- 6-speed
- 335hp
- I-6 Turbo
- good for high 13 1/4 and high 5 0-60.

Anyway, he comes blazing past and levels with me ...He then gets two cars ahead, then goes WOT. So I got a disadvantage of 2 car lengths. Right , not to worry. Not only do I reel him in, But I pass him in the process!

Conclusion: Aussie Muscle cars 0 , German M Power 3. :alright
All these cars were stock as well.

Great runs :) Especially on the XR6, it takes a lot of power on the freeway if you already have a setback.

haha nice run. i did some highway runs myself today on my stock 325is. man, i need a new suspension set up for sure. i felt like riding on Camry at 120mph :embarrasm

Xr6 looks like a nice car :)

For the price , they are unbelievably great value cost around USD28,000 and offers very good peformance!

That XR6 in america would probably cost about 35,000 and be detuned to 260hp. Gotta love our auto line up eh? :stickoutt
