Raced a Bentley

So the other night I am headed down woodward to my buddies house when I pull up next to a spankin new Bentley. The guy was an older man and I thought nothing of it. The light turned green and that big boat's back end squated and just took off like a rocket. I floored it (AODE) and caught up to him the old geezer was all smiles. I rolled down my window and asked the old man what he's got he grinned and said a whole lot of money. I couldn't help but laugh. At the next light we both rolled up and the light turned green we both took off of course having no shift kit of the line he jumped on me but sure enough I pulled out a car ahead of him. We both headed into town and hew pulled over and was all smiles said he hasn't had that much fun in a long time I told him he could have saved 200 G's and just baught a cobra.

But I wont lie I thought I was going to get smoked by a turbo Bentley.

I'm sure his 600lb/ft of toruqe helped him a little too. Those things weigh like 5500lbs, theyre not exactly designed for drag racing. Well, this is all depending on which type of bentley it was. I guess a win is a win.
