Something happen to me on Friday of last week

As I was getting on to the highway ramp i saw a 2015 GS 350 in front of me and as I tried to pass the driver floored his GS350 so I also floored it and would you believed it that i could not pass him and i was in S-plus mode
we hit about 140 mph and the GS was 2 cars in front..
now from what i know is that the GS350 has 306HP and my C450 has 360HP
so I do not know what happened to my C450 but it got Slaughtered..

I should of had my CLA 45

That is horrifyingly embarrassing. You have no choice but to get a tune, track him down, and do it again.

I agree about getting a tune for more power but if you compare HP/TQ I should of taken him with out a tune..something did not go right on my C450

it wasn't a gs-f?

the gs350 should not have had a chance.

Either your car has issues or this thread is a joke.

Taking the c450 to the drag strip soon, but I ran my friends stock m235 xdrive and I had about 2-3 cars on him from a 60 km/hr punch.

VFORCE09

not a GS-F

2015 GS350

no Joke, I did lose...

Bring your car to the dealer then. If this is true, my guess is the auto didn't kick down to a lower gear when u floored it.

I've seen it happen more than once with the 7 speed auto.

140 mph on a public road?

VFORCE09

looks like i will have it checked

Maybe the GS was modded? There is no way the 450 can lose that badly to a stock GS350.

VFORCE09

I had a GS350 in the past and there is no ECU mod for these cars because no one has been able to break into the Lexus computer so the best that the GS could of had is exhaust and cold air


Now i can tell you that before my C450 shifted to the next gear it hit the rev limiter and it died for a few seconds then it shifted
that could of been the reason but who knows

Robvoip

VR tuned has tuned a gs350s ECU.

The c450 auto transmission will not hit the rev limiter in auto mode, so I'm not sure what happened.

Famous last words before the fiery wreck that kills a family minding their own business.

VFORCE09

I don't know about the fiery wreck story but I can tell you that no one was on the road at that time but me and the owner of the GS and that's all I will say on this topic...

Then your car is ****ed, bro. Head to the dealership.

Sounds like a troll.

There's no way in hell this car would lose to a gs350, stock or modded.

Op sounds like a typical c450 hater who drives a POS 4 banger cla45.

INS1GNIA

Possibly a driver mod is in need .

z28lt1

Possibly it was in manual mode? Then we have possible driver mod needed as noted....

PS - will be an interesting conversation with the dealer -- " I lost a street race to 140 MPH to a GS350, something is wrong".

Dealer notes: "Could not replicate problem".

Arthrodesis

It's not hard to mash on the gas pedal in auto. even if you were in one gear higher you would have probably done much better than what the op described.

Op sounds like an idiot. Unfortunately there's a lot of haters out there especially on the amg pl.

Wookii

Take it to the dealer and make sure they update the ecu fluid?

VFORCE09

no dude i own both

Amen. I'm not buying either. Based on my own driving experiences, a Lexus 3.5 NA engine - or Nissan VQ like my G35, or whatever - with more mid range, God forbid, top end punch than the boosted 3.0??

NFW.....my assodometer is too well calibrated to not sift thru that nonsense. Ay caramba. Be serious.
