On Central Park Ave in Yonkers, Mexico...

There was a white w208 CLK that was debadged and had some nice black rims on it. Car was tinted up. I had a passenger in the car. I was joking with my friend "watch this guy wants to race" and when the light turned green he launched hard. I was caught off guard so I came racing behind him. This guy was dipping and weaving through traffic. So I came up behind and followed. He started out about 3 lengths ahead of me but by about 100 I passed him and overtook him by about 3 lengths up to 120. At the next light I stopped and asked him if he was on the forums, he said no but mentioned that he knew benzworld. I told him I'm on mbworld. But he was in a rush so he bounced. Not sure if it was a 320 or a 430 but it had a deep noise, sounded almost like a V8 but I doubt I'd pass it like that.

And on friday at e-town I had the pleasure of killing an older red VW Jetta that had a white Mercedes star badge on the trunk. I beat him by 2 seconds on the 1/4 mile. Taught him some real Benzo respect.

Nice! Central Ave has alot of stoplights to line up at.
Was E-Town crowded?How many passes did you get,more then the 3 that we normally get on a friday?
05Venom went&posted the track wouldnt hook.It was actually friggin snowing up here friday nite.
Next time you go,send me a PM and maybe I'll meet you down there

I wanted to go to the Island track you were talking about but my buddy forced me to go to englishtown.

It was as crowded as always. I got there a little late and only got 2 passes. Some people got 3 in. They Xed off the 1st spot on my ticket but then told me I would still get 3 runs in. Of course, a civic spilled junk all over the track and it took about 45 mins to clean up, so that killed my 3rd run lol. Actually out of all the times I've ever been there I've only gotten 2 runs a night.

My car isn't a torque monster like all of yours but it was running very nicely and I got some good times.

Other people were really complaining. I spoke to a modded 300 SRT8 owner who said he is running .8 slower than last time (btw I ran him and he beat me by .4). I also spoke to a guy with a nicely modded E46 M3 and he told me the best he could get was a 13.6, he was hoping for high 12's. So yeah, there were definitely issues with sticking.

I've been going on Friday nights, though I doubt I get there this Friday because of the holiday. Next time I go I'll definitely send you a PM bro. Take care man

oldgixxer

Ok,sounds good.
FYI: I go out early sunday mornings&rip around the mountains&deserted country roads;just generally beating on my car
If your get up early(doubtful,lol)come on up,the Thruway is DEAD at 6am&you can really see some decent speeds w/out worry from po-po where we screw around

ItalianStallion

Now thats what I'm talking about! PM me some info! Sundays can be hard with church and family, but those hours are awesome.

What did you run at e-town? I was there over a week ago with my 350z. Ran a 14.1 @101.2 with crappy 2.3 60ft. I just have 2 boltons.

ItalianStallion

13.8 @ 100 with horrible tires and with my subwoofer still in, a little more than half a tank of gas, and everyone said they were horrible conditions.

Car is stock except for resonator removed, green air filters, and 19" chrome 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.

Great run but that last sentences sure got me...

ItalianStallion

Thats why I posted it, figured someone would get offended.

For me, it was personal.

JRAMGV8

Its Understandable.. I see in your sig you're looking forward for the M6

That's the only model serious I like from BMW the coupe

ItalianStallion

Yeah, M3 is a kiddy car with no *****/torque (no disrespect, they are amazing performers, just not for me). M6 is a head turner, demands respect, and pulls top-end like no other. Only prob is I might have a hard time hitting my target 700hp goal and 10 second 1/4 mile with it lol.

Jons95c36amg

What happened to the future GTR? That has TT great tuner car.

oldgixxer

Just buy a bike,low 9's@145+ on pump gas all day long....
Keep the car for the hot bracciole you take out to dinner

ItalianStallion

Oldgixxer, good suggestion but idk, I've never really been into bikes. Never drove one, never really had the desire to. I wish I had the money to get like a Viper and a Benz as a daily driver/pimp-mobile but for now I need an all in one car.

Jon, I was #1 on the list for the GT-R and I even had it guaranteed at MSRP. I got a call a few days ago from the general sales manager of Nissan...after letting me know how they are ordering the GT-R's and just confirming that I want it, he goes "you know its going over sticker, right?" I was like "thats not what my agreement with you says. I got it guaranteed at sticker."

He then went on to explain how the owner wants this car and how its going for $20k over. I fought tooth and nail with him and had everything in writing to prove it. Then he started to lie and he goes "uh, we're not even getting any GT-R's." I told him I'll sue, to which he could care less. I don't want to pursue it though...why get involved with a disgraceful and dishonest dealership like that? Nissan left a bad taste in my mouth and I don't think they'll ever be seeing my face again. I loved the car, but I'm not going to put up with that BS or have to go to court just to get a car.

My friends want me to get a Z06. Considering minor bolt-ons and tune gives it 600hp and stock, its out of control fast...and its pretty damn cheap for a brand new car, idk, its got me thinking. I still think if I got a cpo'ed CL65 and gave it the full treatment I could see 700hp, 900tq easy. And of course if I wanted to throw a 100 shot in then I'd have very little competition. Not to mention I'm used to the Benz coupe and its pretty damn pimp.

Jons95c36amg

Want a pimp all around sleeper for $65k? The C63 is a beast from C&D 0-60 in 3.9sec 12.3 @116-1/4! When broken in thats a 11sec car!

HLG600

I agree with the C63 as a replacement car. MB-AMG really brought its game with this new one. The M3 and RS4 are in for a bruising.

ItalianStallion

Hm.....very interesting....with a few boltons, tune, and maybe laughing gas...

HLG600

...and maybe you just might have yourself an E55 upsetter.

Jons95c36amg

I still wonder how they got a under 4sec 0-60 with skinny 255 rears!? 451hp with 4000lbs!? Thats more like 500hp+ with those #s.

HLG600

I wouldn't be surprised if the output of the C63 matched that of the other 63 models. The deflated power figure can very well be a marketing gimmick, as we have seen AMG do this before by rating the power output of W211 E55 below that of the S/SL/CL55 models.

oldgixxer

I read the original road test&was like WTF?

I guess since I ran a 12.3 in my E63 then I have a sub 4sec 0-60 as well

Jons95c36amg

You know mag times are always slower then real life. Meaning c63 could be a 12.0 or better.
