Dylan06SS Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) Before anyone even says it... I know the RR ain't the most challenging of races... I just enjoyed putting this guy down. My drive home involves a shot down Milliken Ave from the 210 freeway... as the local guys will know, its 3 lanes, downhill w/ mostly stale green lights, 50mph speed limit and most people do about 75 on it... Anyways, I exited the freeway behind a BRAND NEW rover.... black on black windows tinted beyond limo... nice lookin ride. When we made our turn onto Milliken the guy jumps on it and I didn't react... I watched him just weave in and out of traffic and when he got to the next light he acted like he wanted to race the ford explorer next to him. I worked my way thru the pack, still watching this guy try and race everyone and I got my chance at the next light. I let him launch and he was on it.... I gave it about 3/4 throttle and paced him then around 40mph I dropped the hammer GOOD BYE ROVER!! I shut it down just over 80mph and the guy repaid the ass beating with a ricer flyby.... man it felt good to put him in his place.

KissMySilvSS Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 RR Sport? I read a Truckin' article, they are slower stock for stock than a Silv SS. For the money, they should fly. I also saw a bit on tv that said RR's are on of the most unreliable vehicles on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivierakid55 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 supercharged range rovers are really fast too. jeep srt8 fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KissMySilvSS Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 The supercharged RR sports are the ones that are a tad bit slower than a stock Silverado SS. For whatever reason, Truckin' did a feature article last year with the RR Sport S/C, Stock Intimidator SS, and something else and the Intimidator SS was faster than the RR Sport S/C 0-60, 0-100, quarter mile.

montanass Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 RR's are on of the most unreliable vehicles on the road. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> even more unreliable than dodges All RR's are junk in my book... everything falls apart on those things... engine, interior, drivetrain... you name it...

Dylan06SS Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I don't know about quality wise, but I have ridden in my friends RR and its one of the most luxurious SUV's I've ever been in... I guess if you just want flat out comfort then thats the way to go... I think they look awesome too... but obviously they don't have the balls to back up the looks.
