I guess I am getting old. Looking at buying either a 2007 250 or 350 and could really care less about off the line performance. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy nailing the throttle and scooting from one light to the next but...now that I'm older and wiser I am more interested in highway acceleration abilities. Any idea how to gauge the acceleration between the 250 vs 350 at highway speeds? Not sure I'm saying that well. I mean, trying to see how quickly the cars will accelerate from 60/70 MPH or so up to 85 to 90mph in a passing or merging situation.

Any suggestions?

Did you see the mythbusters followup where they tried to bust that commercial but then used a BMW as the car???

Hello? Anyone home? BMW's aren't faster than gravity duh...
