Had a run in with a black C6 corvette with dark tinted windows, aftermarket rims, and a sticker on the back window that said Extreme something on the way home today--a google search revealed Extreme Corvette Club of DFW possibly. I saw him at a light but I was a few cars back in another lane. When the light turned green he accelerated quickly so I knew he would play. I got around the cars in front of me and rapidly closed on him and got on his bumper as my lane was ending. At the light ahead I was behind him and when it turned green he took off. I did to, sort of, I had to let off the gas to keep from rear ending him. I stayed right on his tail having to let off the gas several times to prevent hitting him as speed climbed up into triple digits. Traffic brought the run to a close soon after. At the next light I was next to him and tried to wave, but he was stone faced and just stared straight ahead and wouldn't acknowledge me. I don't think he was very happy.

 

Hahah! Nice job!

 

probably a 4 speed auto.. a tick slower than a 6 man.



now they have a 6sp auto and the revised engine.. should be a good fight stock vs stock.

modded.. if you hear a blower on a C6.. stay away!!!

 

My friend and I ran from a light against his brandy new C06. What are they, about 400hp stock?

I knew he was going to kill me, and he did, but it was fun anyway. I had a case of beer in the trunk, so I blame the weight disadvantage.

 

lol...yeah the new C6 is a nice run for a 55/63 but anything less likely will not have enough.

 

I had a very similar experience with a newer vette but on the onramp highway. I had to step off the gas twice to keep from running into his behind and as he moved to the other lane I easily rolled right by him. The guy was much cooler though as he gave me a big thumbs up with a smile!

 

Man, I can never get benz's to run me...

I'll run you......Although I'm not stock anymore...Nearly 500HP to the crank w/3.90 gears

 

Is this who I think it is....Mr. Muscles?? If so not many benzos will be able to keep up with you anyways!

 

 

Yeah you got something there.... Those gear ratios sure make a difference from 3.42 to 3.90... how come you didn't go with 4.10? Just curious....

 

hahaha Richard you got me, its me! I have no idea what my crank horsepower is, but I have 540 to the ground and 500 torque to the ground. Don't get me wrong, I love AMG's as well, that is why I am on this site!

Because my C6 is an 05' Auto they came w/3.15 stock it's an A4 Auto, 3.90's are as high as I could go or 1st gear would be useless, you put the 4.10's in Manual 6 speeds, 3.90 w/only 4 gears is equal to 6 speeds w/4.10's
-
-It's so aggressive I can break traction at 65-70mph in 2nd gear besides a blower, aggressive gear ratios are the next best thing, really pins you back in your seat!

I wasn't going to do it till I read about the M6 w/3.91 gears & still being able to reach 195-200mph (1 tuner told me the opposite, & that I would limit my top end to 160-170ish, well tested her out on a long empty straight away & she indeed exeeds 170! I chickened out at 185ish thinking the PO-PO- would spot me, & there's plenty left to hit 200mph) the difference from 3.15's to 3.90's is HUGE!! I'd say SOTP 75-80% of a Supercharger Oomphh feeling... Don't get me wrong blower is next!
-My rpm's are now set to 7000max!!
-
-Trick is you can't just floor it anymore unless 75+mph or you'll just go up in SMOKE

 

I'm but a snail compared to your APS TT set-up 740 ish Torque to the rw

 

Hey I believe Richard set it up for me to buy your old Bullet cat-back We should meet up sometime...

 

Anytime, you can always find me in Irvine/Newport trolling for unsuspecting exotics!!! hahahah

Greg

 

Ah gotcha... so its an A4. I thought you had an A6 but that's still awesome

 

Greg, glad to see you on the boards! AMGs are fun cars no doubt!!! Your crank HP is approx. 635HP....I'm sure it's a BEAST. The P1 however has potential for 600rwhp+ it's your A6 drivetrain that needs to be built to match.

 

Sean, we should meet up with Greg at the OC Block GTG....that's his SPOT and he usually brings a different lady friend at each meet...hahaha.
