Well my martial arts instructor just leased a v8 Audi s5 and he wants to race me . Drive around with him a bit and wasn't too impressed but I'm more than sure I'll get spanked . I've taken out a 335 before and these two cars are supposed to compete with each other . Any way wish me luck , will post many sad faces and details of my shame lol .

I must say, I do love the Audi.... unfortunately you will not only be beaten, you will be smashed. : ( Now if you were to show up in this.... it would be a game changer indeed...



Good luck!
A fellow L.I.der...

just put your car into dyno mode if you can, not sure on 2010's or at least trac control off. If you learn to power brake launch u would be surprised w a 350. The S5 is fast, u wont get killed tho. Ive taken A5's and 3.0 A4 and A6 no problem. It depends on if its rolling or launch start and the driver. do your best bro.......

A5: 0-60 MPH 4.9 sec.

That's your problem. Don't bet any money ... If you beat him, he's afraid to drive hard.

As much as I love the c class, its not very fast. How you beat a 335i I have no idea but something doesn't sound quite right. I would know as I have a 335i. They are VERY fast stock and as soon as you get a jb3 in there its a 4 second car. As for you racing the S5 wish you luck but I don't think thats going to help you defeat the V8.

Race pushed forward to tonight , will post details . And yeah was planning on putting it in dyno mode .

Try a quick kick to the knee, then grapple him like Royce Gracie.

Royce Gracie - youtube.com

At 180 lbs, the toughest man in the world, in the octagon, any weight. Closed in on opponent like a spider, methodically giving his "tap-out" lethal hold.

Matt_Eurojerks

racing is stupid.

Scat01

That's old school MMA Kev, the majority of ranked 185 pounders would wreck him nowadays, ju-jitsu alone just don't cut it anymore...Hell, Matt Hughes destroyed him worse than hitokiri is gonna get destroyed by that S5 the last time he entered the octagon...funny damn post though.

C63 would be more comparable to an s5

jctevere

LMAO, lemme know where at hitokiri. I will camera car with my c250 coupe

krnxalex123

as long as its rolling wont lose that badly.. but dead start? idont know never raced 1 dead start but gl. s5 isnt that fast at all but our w204 is slower

it doesnt matter if you win or lose... have fun and be safe

kevink2

I should have added "at the time", when he was the toughest, at only 180 lbs. It was amazing to watch. UFC back then?

He was the best period. He took down giants with leg kicks, submission from top or bottom etc.

Of course he did lose too, but don't see how he would be ineffective with how agressive he was in his prime.

nias9527

I already "chase" a s5 before (the s5 is my friend's car)
I wanted to be racing with him but ended up "chasing"

Scat01

If I had to choose a best ever it would be Silva, St. Pierre, Couture, or Hughes..

I was a fan of Gracie's back in the early 90's - but he was mostly submitting guys with arm bars and choking out guys that won the local tough man contest early on - except for guys like Shamrock, who really wasnt that well rounded either...

The good 185ers of today (Anderson Silva, Chael Sonnen, Mark Munoz, etc) are not only much more well conditioned, they can all defend basically everything he was doing back then, and are extremly well rounded in all aspects standing or grappling with the ability to knock him out as well as submit him...To be honest, I think a couple of todays 170 pound Welters would have beat him is his prime (St. Pierre, Condit, Diaz maybe???) Would Edgar even give him a run at 155???

Oh Yeah - how about that race - any results? forgot which group of fans I was talking with for a sec....sorry for going off on a tangent there...

hitokiri89

Lol no worries also an mms fan , still no race yet I didn't make martial arts last night so I didn't see him yet . Will happen soon enough though .

kevink2

Hope he forgets. Find other cars with 0-60 at 4.9 and think about it.

I am going to suggest something that might not work at all for the C class, but it could still be worth a try. Most MBs have adaptive throttle control. As you drive, the shift points and shifting speed adjusts to the way you drive. Check out this link:
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...set-works.html

Many of the E55/E63 guys that are looking for max performance do the reset from time to time. I have done it on my modded SL55 and it makes a noticeable difference. I always do the reset before hitting the drag strip. You might try it. It cannot hurt a thing. If you do the reset and the shifting feels harsh and uncomfortable to you, not to worry, it will adjust back to your normal driving habits in a few days.

If it works, it might be worth a few 10ths of a second.

coolvi

Not to put ideas in your head, but if it's street, then the winner is the driver that's willing to go to the higher limit relatively speaking and not the one that drives a faster car on paper.

hitokiri89

Yea I always do the reset too , I'm hoping that couples with my sprintbooster ill save some time on my launch .
