[V8] Horsepower musings

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

A friend recently just got divorced and his business needed another vehicle....One that he will drive, and really didn't need to be a dedicated  truck, but something that resembled a truck as the boss......Ha.  He just bought a new BMW X5 3L which is something like 305hp.  Since I know nothing about new BMW's had to look and the beast of the lineup has a staggering 575HP(possible race with my friend's 04 Gallardo if he still had it).....Anyway, does an SUV need 575HP?......It scales at about my Duramax weight, and certainly can pull the boat, but it's still a car that will look stupid towing my boat.....Ha.  Will smoke me on the drag strip/ and possibly other supercars.........Just laughing at this....Tom
