Top 10 FASTEST SUV 2011

1. BMW X6m:

BMW claim that this is the fastest SUV available in the market and with a speed of zero to sixty in 4.3 seconds, the claim seems to be absolutely correct. The cost is a massive $ 88,900, and at 5000 lbs it is one of the heaviest vehicles in this list. But with BMW’s superb engine power behind it, it is a great machine.

2. BMW X5m:

Another product from the BMW stable, this ute is also a great machine. Slightly slower and heavier than the X6, it is however backed by the reputation of BMW’s excellent craftsmanship. BMW’s zero maintenance facility makes it virtually cost-free with regards to any maintenance problems which may arise.

3. Porsche Cayenne Turbo X:

Sleek and sporty, this beauty has been in the forefront of the SUV field for many years. Even the cost factor of $ 104,700 does not seem to deter those who feel it is one of the best SUV’s available. It’s twin turbo-charged V8 engine generates 500-hp with twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8, for a zero to 60 speed in 4.4 seconds.

4. Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG:

Mercedes Benz has been renowned for luxury and speed and quality. They have maintained their excellent quality in this V8, 6.3 litre 503 horsepower engine, It has a maximum speed of 155 mph, which may not be as high as the other SUV’s but it is still good enough to make this list.

5. Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8:

The fastest model made by Jeep, it breaks all the myths that Jeep only has slow lumbering vehicles in it’s roster. It has a 420 horsepower, 6.4 litre V8 engine and can streak from zero to 60 in 4.8 seconds. It’s price of $ 45,000 makes it a very good buy in this category.

6. Range Rover Sport 5 Supercharged:

A fancy price of $ 115,000 makes this one of the more expensive SUV’s available in the market. It has a 510 horsepower V8 engine and it combines Range Rover’s quality with a speed of zero to 60 in 5.9 seconds.

7. Audi Q7 V12 TDI:

The Audi Q7 V12 TDI was developed by Audis Quattro GmbH high-performance division, and Audi even considered officially dubbing it an RS model.

Paranormal Activity 2

my wife and i were so tired the whole day that we decided to go to marquee mall and indulge in watching a movie.  we set our mind in watching "megamind" since we figure that it doesnt need much thinking, since are energy was already low, we need something to pick us up. after the dinner we found out that the schedule was 30 mins earlier than the normal last film shown. next best thing was "paranormal activity 2".

i liked the 1st part, i was scared out of my chair in the movie house. but we had doubts about the second installment.  since time in memorial most, if not all 2nd installment movies were NO good at all, well compared to the 1st of course.  and the opinion of the ticket lady didn't help at all. the day before when we watched "unstoppable" i ask the ticket lady if she happen to watch "paranormal activity 2" and she utter, "naku sir, napanood ko na po, boring po." that sealed the deal for us. no more paranormal for us.

now with my personal review.  the film was simple, direct to the point.  the scheme they used was effective, the amateur/ personal camera footage type of filming, (ala blair witch) maybe this is the reason why the ticket lady find it boring, she might have vertigo or shes expecting hahaha! and the no sound effect/cctv feel of the film added some FEAR factor as well.

the transition from the 1st film was seamless, haft way through the film you will get the idea. why, how, when and to whom it all happened.  is it at all scary like the first ??? HELL YEAH !!! i think this 2nd part is MORE frightening.  they took some elements from the 1st part and made it better.  my wife was clamping all over me all through out the movie. and she is not the typical girl date that can be easily frightened.  (the ring, exorcism of emily rose and sixth sense where no match to my girl.) and if i compare her to my bestbud/sfren (so matatakutin) she will will every round in the bout.

i highly recommend this film.  you should all go out and watch it.  as the very infamous venus raj may put it.  im my 29 years of exixtence, this movie is the MAJOR, MAJOR scary film i have watched! paranormal activity 3.. bring it on !!!
