CarandDriver included the above shot of a BMW X6M beating out a hopped-up Chevy Nova II at Michigan's Milan Dragway for their review of the Bimmer. The only problem is it never really happened. A member of THE H.A.M.B. forum posted the picture above from the C&D review claiming it's his car being raced against the BMW X6.
"This months car and driver has a artical about a bmw twin turbo suv that goes anywhere,hauls anything and beats anything.They show it hauling bails of straw and driving on the e-way and then beating a stright axle,fuel injected,altered wheelbase 63 chevy II on the ragstrip................Whooooooa. That is my chevy and that little red suv couldn't beat my car in its wildest dreams. Do they really have to photo crop and mis-represent the public into thinking if they buy a bmw suv,then thay too can do what their mag says. I hope someone who advertises in that book see's this and decides on why they support the down rite lies they print." It's funny, but we think CarandDriver should apologize to the car's owner. The car's owner, though, should apologize to the English language. The latest frenzy on the H.A.M.B forum is about a race-for-pinks event the Chevy's owner, Johhny, is trying to set up with CarandDriver. It won't happen of course, but it'd still be awesome.
