Was driving yesterday morning 101 S. bound thru Calabasas, (spell?) I'm driving my C6 Vette, w/friend headed to downtown LA, so we come up to a new looking Porsche Carrera 4S Coupe, thought it was possibly a TT because of the widebody, & quad exhaust + I don't know jack about newer P-Cars, except they look fast.......

So I say to my buddy "Should we see if he wants to run?" you obviously know what the answer was... I got along side of the C4S, looked at the driver (alone) 40ish male, looked like some kook, from the 80's band Xanadu,
W/crummy rock star blond hair....I drop the C6 down from 4th to 2nd, sending the rpm's thru the roof @ 65mph and hurtling the front end upward & forward a 1/4 length..

After I do this the Rocker dude doesn't even look over..... ...I decide we'll make him run like it or not, I pull into his lane & fall back 2 car lengths, & draft his every move, he starts changing lanes, so do we, still he doesn't hit the gas......I knudge 1 length closer, BAM he hits it!! I'm ready for it still in 2nd gear, hammer the throttle! he has the same 1 car lead from before the start, I instantly pull up to his rear bumper so fast (no other lanes open) I have to hit the brakes for fear of running into him...

Lanes open up so I can pull along side, (he let off the gas after are 1st little run) I look over and point ahead for him to run, He does w/little lead I hit it, and just rape his little Porsche, by 5 + lengths, and then shut it down....

I thought "No way, he must be playin' w/me??" all day I wondered if it was a TT P-car, that was just messin' w/me......till I got home and looked it up on the Net......355 HP 295 Torque all wheel drive....Hell my rwhp rwto are both higher STOCK than his crank power ratings...& to top it off, what a heavy P-car 3500lbs????

None the less, It was mighty fun beating the ****e outta him, he really looked pissed after the 1st run when he couldn't shake me to save his life

I know what I did was bad, but hell none of these fine new sports cars ever want to race, unfortunate for him he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, for me to be out determined to run somebody...

I don't know if the C4S was a 2006 or 2007..... No offense to any P-car owners it's a beautiful looking vehicle..

You wouldn't see which way he went up Mulholland

Thericker

Ahhh what?? Is that a rhetorical Q? Ohh wait your being smart, in that case allow me to laugh the C4S 1/4 is 13.1-13.2 I have 50 more hp and 100 more torque, not to mention only weigh 3179lbs... to his 3500lbs...

If I misunderstood you? I'm sorry..... If not? you're retarded

AndrewAZ

Sounds about right... I know the older C4S 02's were about on par with the E46 M3 in terms of acceleration to about 100 ish. They had 320HP back in 02... But again this is not a car that is extremely fast in a strait line it shows its stuff on the race track on the corners. Anyways nice kill... I wont go into how much better the interior is this time lol.


Ow BTW have you run into any E46 M3's? You still need to beat one then we will be even.. A while back I took out a 6 speed tard driver several times from a few stop lights. Even when he got it in gear it did not pull me in very fast I was disappointed..

Thericker

Thank you

I tried to run an M3 a while back but, usally see ladies behind the wheel (not joking) and they never race...I'm looking though...

transferred

You did.

What I meant was that up a twisty off-camber road like Mulholland drive a C4S is leaving the C6 (especially the *auto*) well behind.

Thericker

Sorry bro...you're 100% wrong I ate that thing alive twice! he never pulled away or had a chance, even when I let him have the start...also it was mostly straight no cornering, twisting, on the part of 101 Calabasas we were moving thru???

Seriously you think the new C6 is going to fall behind in freeway turns?? it was made for twisties?? sure the aforementioned C4S would prolly beat me on a Auto X course, but not on the freeway, NEVER..... or light to light city streets, they don't have enough power...

C6 0-60 4.1-4.2
2006/07 C4S 0-60 4.6-4.8

transferred

Them 'Vettes sure can move on the highway. Good to see you were out having fun

Thericker

You think the C6 A4 auto is going to *especially* get pulled on?

Let me expand a little on the A4, I love manually shifting it into 2nd while on a freeway roll-on race (it's easier to control) if I had left it in 3rd or 4th and just hammered the throttle? it goes into 1st for a brief few moments sending the *** into a violent quick wiggle!! and my traction light goes off, even at 65mph, yes tires have plenty of tread..

I'd of even pulled harder on the C4S had I left it in 4th/D and let the car change gears on it's own, I can hold 2nd gear till 100+mph @ 6400-6500 rpm's it screams!

nice kill
we gotta race, i know youre car is faster but i wanna see how much faster, my car is about 300lbs or so lighter than that one and its a stick (dunno what that one was) and i know how to drive it.


and yes, up mulholland a c6 driver wouldnt know which wa i went

Thericker

That's sweet 300lbs lighter!! and you've got the same engine right?

It's on bro! whenever your up to it, same area? ok...maybe I'm stupid but Mulholland isn't a freeway right? we should do both...freeway and the dreaded Mulholland....Call me

ps..I know you're a Modaholic like the rest of us, whatcha' done to her??

You know ricker, your recent run of kill stories sparked my interest in a C6. After college, I'll be looking for a sporty car to have some fun in. I was seriously considering the new Supra in a few years, now I have another option.

Thericker

Yo bro, yeah there are more than a few new cars coming out/just out, that pack a whaalop.....New Camaro, Mustang GT500, they say can be made into a real BEAST--11.80-11.90 1/4 w/pulley swap & good dyno tune..

HLG600

GT500 is a powerhouse, but C6 range in cost. With the new paddle shifters on the Vette, I'll have a hard time finding reason to go GT500. Other cars I am anxious to see include the new Audi TT. Looks sharp, can be easily tuned, and has AWD. From what I read, the new Supra will be something great. $35K, 350+ HP, and 0-60 in the 4s range...all coupled with Toyota reliabilty. In general, automakers are stepping up their game. Chrysler made a complete turnaround (and the updated Viper is awesome, BTW). Camaro is coming back, in a retro style of the 60s era I love so much. And now the return of the Supra...I'm excited.

AMG_55

i do have the same engine

mulholland is a street that runs from the 101 to a little past the 405 on top of the mtns. its very twisty.

i just pulled the mufflers out (saved 50lbs, gained a few hp) and dropped it w/ h&r's

plan on gt3 tb, evo airbox and awe headers and 200 CEL cats (about $4000 all together or so )


im going to big bear tonight, ill hit you up sometime next week or so

AMG_55

supposedly (again) there is a new nsx coming w/ a 5L v10

Thericker

I was kidding about the Mulholland, that's why I said it's not a freeway right?...I'm sure you'll be looking in your rear view on that run!!

AMG_55

HLG600

Finally, some serious power to match the legendary handling capabilities.

AMG_55

they wont be legendary anymore, Senna is gone (RIP)

id take the older 1 over the newer one in a second, some bolt ons and itll run mid 12's

i was looking at one the other day in a mag and started thinking, maybe i ****ed up, i thought of telling my bro he can have my 997 so i can get a nsx

Richard Galing

Yo Broham....Very nice takedown of the C4S I've been in your car and it's frikkin crazy fast, I pity the fool who runs against you!!! 22's SON...22's

transferred

I though Thericker had a stock engine?

22s? surely not

Thericker

I saw your video bro AWESOME!! I've never heard such a badass TwinTurbo in my life BOV is absolutely sick!! APS TT + 402 built motor in a C6 = what boost are you runing in the video?

CY

The new C4S is sick....not a freeway fighter though. Love it over the C6...but nice kill I guess.

Thericker

Yeah nice post I guess
