C32 VS. C6 and Mustang
ok, now that i have your attention...
i was out on saturday night at the local meet and decided to go cruise with a 1000hp twin-turbo Viper, C6 6speed, mustang, couple SRT-4's, 350z and some other rice that decided to follow....
we cruised down and watched some other guys racing for a while, then decided to head back to our original spot. along the way, the mustang had a guy in the passenger seat filming and thought he would be able to make an easy kill out of the 'benz...haha! after two runs with me putting bus lengths between us, being accused of having a V10 (gotta love people that are uneducated about cars!)
and the mustang guy getting pissy, the C6 decided he wanted to exercise a little influence over the C32....
so i ran the C6 from a 20mph roll up to 65mph and he let off because he was losing...
(side bar for the nah sayers: the guy could not drive, i know that a C6 should take a C32, just telling what happened)
then, we caught a light...i turned off the ESP and decided i would go for it just for fun...guess what, i took him again, and again he let off because he was losing, was one of the most satisfying races i have ever had...
i guess if you put good driver in the C6, it would probably be a different story, but i went home very satisfied that night...

more about the 1000 hp Viper pls......
most vette owners that I have run across are 60+ yr olds who either can't drive for ***** or are afraid to. I wish a younger demographic would start buying up these cars.......esp. the Z06's that I always see grandpas driving
some people should just be driving AT's........

Well sounds like you had a fun night but before you enjoy that C6 kill to much I would like to add my .02 I'm not a grampa, and have a 4 speed Auto C6 bone stock, and believe me it's VERY fast and about .01-.02 tenths off a properly driven C6 m6.
I'm not trying to **** on your parade but I've read 1 to many of these types of threads, of how the allmighty benzes especially the SLK55, C55, C32, crowd think there top dog.
I'll race any SLK55, C55, C32, Stock for Stock, NO mods here after all that's what 99% of these kills I read are allways saying " Bone Stock"... I'm in So Cal and can easily have some friends video this...Any takers please step to the plate
NO hostility meant just trying to prove a point, I'd love to put this debate to rest.
Please don't get my sentiment wrong here you sound like a cool guy, you love racing cars. This thread was just the perfect platform to launch my challenge
Seriously, Physics can't be argued w/ the C6 weighs 3100lbs w/400hp/400to
If you put the weight/power stats up for SLK55, C55, C32 they all weigh more and have less power than the C6 end of story when a properly driven A4, A6, M6, C6 enters the equation against those particular Benzos.

Since the "physics can't be argued with" why are you getting preemptively defensive about the C6?

I read this all before on the Vette forum. All these people were saying the new SLK55 wasn't going to be as fast (less Hp, weighs more). Guess what, thay ALL ate crow. The 7G tranny in the SLK55 keeps the car in its powerband so it takes advantage of "power under the curve" better than other cars with different gearing. So, ....there you have it. Gearing allows the SLK55 to be just slightly quicker through the quarter mile (although it will get pulled upstairs to a C6 due to its lower trap speed & inferior Cd).

either way they are really close...
A C6 manual would have the edge over the SLK55.
Also as far as stock C32 vs C6 (unless it was a poor driver, the C6 all the way).

#3 I still believe I'll whip the SLK55 (If you wanna go on stats theres a C6 A4 on Corvette forum bone stock runing 12.50's) forget the magazine stats, Please somones gotta hava 1 near stock here in Cali I'll meet half way It'd be great video for the forum.
I've gotta do this before I start modding which knowing me wont be long.
So come on people lets see all those C32's C55's SLK55's and ???
I guess we could make it a mini meet at a local Dragstrip in LA? I'm not sure on locations I know of 1 way up Sacramento way but that's an ungodly drive gotta be something around here?? I'm still up for street though whatever.

What's the fun racing and filming in a straght line? How about I'll take a 2006 C280 loaner the next time I take my C55 in service and race you down Angeles Crest? It wouldn't be fair if I pit my C55 against you because it is far from stock. Now that is pure fun..... Just a friendly race down the mtn.... The point is, debating who is faster in a straight line is like dick measuring contest back in High School... Now it is a different story when a girl telling other girls how well you work it with your tool...
Roupin, I know you would like a piece of this action...

What mods have you done to your C55? I'd still love to line up and see just "Whats what?" As far as canyon runing "Sure I'd Love to" the more I push this C6 around tight corners she just begs for more.

I guess a list of mods is to much to ask? or a friendly run to 100+? There's plenty of good bars in LA to go to afterwards to check out the ladies
No worries I didn't take it that way
