wtf... killed by crossfire
ok, just so everyone understands, i use this forum for very useful info. I want to ythank everyone for their posts on a myriad of subjects as it has been quite informative, insightful and sometimes funny.
with that said I present the following for your amusement.
While driving to El Paso to visit some friends, I was cruising at about 120.
perfect driving day, no traffic, no peep from the radar detector, unlimited visibility.
saw something in the rear view coming up quickly so I slowed down to about 90.
a black crossfire passed me like i was standing still. i saw brake lights so i figured he wants to have some fun too.
i punched it and took it to about 120 and i caught up.
no markings on it, just all blacked out.
we rolled down our windows and gave each other the 'nod', and i punched it.
i got ahead about a car length and he blasted by. i took it to 155 and could not catch him.
i have run against srt-6's, vetts and other assorted high lines but this was different. i get smoked by the higher power cars but with my mods i'm prob pushing 400 hp +/- and i have never experienced that level of
being left in the dust!
now the question is, what kind of crossfire is this. anyone know?

There are some pretty fast examples of C32s out there, I'm sure that this guy's similarly modded. FI cars can be modded pretty easily to pick up gobs of horsepower, check out the BMW 335i/135i times stock/modded, an amazing performance gain for $650 or so...

why do you say that?
btw, your sig says you have a clk55 and you are pushing 400hp. i'm assuming you arent referring to the wheels, but rather the crank....unless you have forced induction or spray.

i was being conservative. this engine was completely gone thru, ported, polished, bored and stroked. i have the best of everything that a street machine can hacve. i spared no expense so that I CAN cruise at 155. yes, i know i don't have any mods in my sig. i choose to remain as anon as possible.
as for the srt6 fans, this was not a standing start 1/4 drag race. this was done on an open road at 120 mph. i watched this guy take off from me and could not catch him. maybe i'm not painting the correct pic. i got ahead of him then he shot past me like i was standing still. with nitrous, he could have shot past but he pulled steady when i lost him at 155.

So actually, in a 1/4 mile standing start race you may well have stayed closer than in a 120-160 race. If for example he's trapping at 119 to your 110-1-ish or so (which is where you should be with 400 crank in a 3800 pound car w/driver) he'd run away at those speeds, not walk.
