hahah yes! every freakin' day this exact scenario plays out

fiveohwblow · 08-26-2020, 10:07 AM

G80 pulled up to the bakery, didn't like what he was served. I was assuming he was all stock by how quickly he faded into the darkness behind me. I usually don't take the bait but he tried a couple of times and wouldn't let it go.

Took an IS F to Gapplebee's, I thought they would be faster, was only on my GTS tune and not my stage 2 as well

As a previous ISF owner, it’s quick but it was a L from the get go and he probably knew

Looks sweet, had a CF hood and sounded good to. Thought it would have been faster. If I was on S2 flash it would have been really bad.

Haha yeah that v8 ROARS. Unfortunately, the aftermarket selection is nowhere near the f8x platform. Outside of going forced induction, the only significant power mod you can do to it is headers.

I swear every kid in their BRZ or FRS86 wants to race me at every light. It's not even close. Guys in minivans even want a go. Guy in a JEEP Cherokee SRT8 gave me a run (not a TrackHawk).

Suds · 08-28-2020, 08:38 PM

I played with an ISF in my Vette.
The guy may still think it’s fast because I didn’t try and prove he was way out of his league.

BlackF82 · 08-29-2020, 01:05 PM

A Camaro SS, maybe 2015 or 2016 idk, it was cammed, his license plate said it and it definitely sounded like it was with exhaust.

Long story short, we started in 3rd and went at it. Before you know it, that V8 was behind in my rearview mirror (FYI - running stage 1 BM3)

SE7EN335 · 08-31-2020, 09:36 AM

Raced the latest gen Lotus Exige with numberplate TRKWPN. I was on BM3 Stage 2+ e30 map with downpipes and bmc filters. He kept up with me on a 3rd gear pull till end of third gear and then when I shifted into 4th gear (DCT), I lurch forward by about 3/4 of my car's length. I stopped racing at about 190kmh and was about 2 cars lengths ahead and he sped past me and flashed his hazards on and went out the ramp exit and I kept going straight on the highway.

I wonder what mods could be done to a Lotus Exige to make it that fast? It sounded epic though

hellokitty · 09-01-2020, 12:32 AM

A normal (not PP) Model 3. Didn't bother since the guy was driving pretty erratically

I assume you are tuned? There is no way you are pulling easily on a Giulia QV from 3rd gear if you are stock unless the Giulia QV's driver shortshifted or the car has some mechanical problem.

How do I know? My best friend has a Giulia QV and when I was stock (non-zcp) he would walk on me from a roll in any gear. It took me to get a BM3 CS tune to be able to hang with him till around 220kmh and after that he would pull on me slightly.

I have BM3 stage 2 e30 tune on mine with catless downpipes and MPE and i pull bus lengths on him now.

deeldoo · 09-01-2020, 10:46 AM

S4 tried to take me on LOL, looked to be this generation.

We were cruising at about 90 km/hr on the highway.

I have a 2016 BMW M4 CS Tune, catless DP, MPE, GTS Trans.

I let off at 200 at that point i was probably 6 bus lengths ahead, to be honest it was actually hard to see him and i gave him the jump too.

He then pulled up behind me aggressively as he came by, then switched lanes and raced by.

I think these middle of the pack cars (S, M-performance, Amg-lite) do well in lower speeds but up top especially rolling from near 60 MPH they have 0 guts, completely fall face first.

Yes

Stage 2 with DP doing 545hp

thecartorque · 09-02-2020, 09:48 AM

Was complaining to my mate that I hadn't had a good race in a while. Today a GT2 RS hunted me down off of the lights and left me for dead. Had to appreciate it to be honest and no shame in getting smoked by one of those

jmg · 09-04-2020, 12:24 PM

Came upon quite a bit of challengers this past weekend:

996 TT
991 GTS
991 Turbo S
GT4
944
E36 M3
Mercedes E class

I "beat" all of them... except one. Can you guess which?!

FYI This video is totally tongue-in-cheek. These were all "point-bys" at a non-competitive event. Still, it was fun catching up to some of these cars and forcing a pass!

Not today but this week. New Mustang GT pulls up at a light. I turn off TC just in case. I start to take off slow, hear commotion/revs from him, and nail it, short shifting 1-2 at about 5k rpm. I’m stock, and I can’t believe how bad I beat him. I thought GTs were faster.
