Yesterday I followed to close bmw 540 (~2-3 year old, I am too knowledgeable in bmw). Guy perceived it as a challenge for the race and started to speedup, waived through the traffic changed lanes….was a dry day in Seattle and light-medium traffic on 520, so wasn’t any problem to keep up with him for over 2-3 miles. For a final disappointment at ~110 mph I pushed accelerator more (I was in 4th all the time) and overtook that BMW with +20 mph difference.
What kind of engines they have? I checked on internet and BMW V8 looks to be very potent engine, but maybe 70-110 mph acceleration is the situation where Saab’s turbo really shines.
