C32 vs C5 vette

Bux · 07-07-2003, 01:09 AM

a light to light kinda race it was a t-top? vette guy in his late 20's with his blond chic. he has his top off and i have all my windows down and hear him say to his gf "its a 4dr amg, wants to race?!" ..so the light turns green and i have a quarter to half a car lead on him to the next light and then turns and says "DAMN THATS A QUICK CAR!" ..i replied "ya man it's not that bad"

10 seconds later my cell rings and my buddy says "did i just see you beat a vette!!!!!" ...it was pretty funny ..guess i caught the vettes attn in the first place cause at the light before he was a couple cars back diagonal so he probably saw my badges and raced up to line up with me

Tai230K · 07-07-2003, 11:50 AM

haha very nice kill...

Xpeed · 07-07-2003, 01:02 PM

good kill. Was his car auto? and how fast is a C32 0-60 and 1/4 mile?

Bux · 07-07-2003, 01:42 PM

nah no girl i should have said i can beat you with your girl in my car also

....c32 i have ran 13.2@106.9 and 1.9-2.0 60ft's

c5 is also capabale of the same results or better

SoCalCLK · 07-07-2003, 05:32 PM

Those C5s think they are the hottest thing in the world...Glad to hear you lay the smackdown on him!!

Xpeed · 07-07-2003, 11:59 PM

I like the corvette it’s a nice sports car and for $50k you can get a Z06. great handling power and braking. But some of the drivers are real ****y and deserve to be put in their place.

SoCalCLK · 07-08-2003, 01:22 PM

the Z06 is nice, but for $52,000 I would get a C32 AMG...for $55,000 and ad desire for a classic coupe, I would get a fully loaded new CLK 430!

Xpeed · 07-08-2003, 01:53 PM

The C32 and the clk 430 are nice cars but i like the corvette because its a sports car the 430 dosent have to power to compeat with the z06 and i dont think the C32 has the handeling of a z06 i like the z06 because its fast and cheap $ for what it can do.

Pierre32///AMG · 07-09-2003, 10:43 AM

Nice ro0zy!
you have to install pulleys + chip + SLY-pipe and you will do much much more.....easy with your 1/4 mile time you have to be on the middle 12!....here at Colorado I have kill Ferrai 355F1 and ZO6s

and uniliate M3 & M5

Ciao

I agree aswell! Silver 02CLK430 sport package with those blue tints with the grey leather int!!

What is the proper term for those blue tint windows I've seen on CLKs?

Mag Red Monster · 07-29-2003, 01:05 AM

Nice Kill.............but do you guys stereotype every one that doesn't own a MB?? I'm just hanging around waiting on a tech question on my dad's 380 SL.............but I'd say that Vette you ran was either bone stock or the guy couldn't drive. I have nothing more that a cold air intake and I'm running consistant 12.5's @110. Z06's are in the high 11's with nothing more than bolt ones and a decent driver.

look who's talkin your doing the stereotyping

only 1 person (SoCal) said anything against a vette everyone else praised the corvette's ability.

SoCalCLK · 07-29-2003, 01:31 AM

Actually, the Blue-tinted windows are called as such. They come with the CLK 430s.
I have no problems with the Corvette, just like I have no problems with a Honda Prelude and 120-Hp shot of NOS or an Intergra GS-R with a GReddy Turbo Kit.
The point is I want something that is fast, plus has the luxury appointments to be a true contender.
The Z06 is a bargain at $50K. But the winning is so much sweeter in a C32 AMG!

Well .........there was also the comment from Xpeed. But that comment could also be made about some driver's of almost any other vehicle.

badass kill roozy

pocholin · 08-05-2003, 09:48 PM

good deal ro0zy!!! keep on going!

rrf · 08-10-2003, 02:36 AM

Hey Roozy,

My stepbrother has a nicely modded C5 that I don't find easy in my C32. Last race was before my pulley, and I had the 200lbs extra in my car (my brother-in law

) It was close but he had a little more go-go than me.

However I suppose with pulleys and no extra weight, maybe my win. I think stock a C5 and C32 is usually close, with some advantage to C5.

Did the C5 fans see the suspension discussion in C&D this month?
Seemed very thorough. Corvette has basically 4 OEM options to choose from, quite nice.

Bux · 08-10-2003, 03:27 AM

ya i agree with you ..our race was just a flat out light to light race wasn't a full 1/4mile run.
