Yeah it was expected I got walked by the new 530hp GTR. We went from a 40-125. Got me by a car. They haul *** traps are 123+.

AMGJared

I'm proud of you Jon. I read the title of the thread....saw the author and the first thing I said was "Oh god" expecting some ridiculous story. Only a car length?

Improviz

With a 123+ trap for him and a 119 for you, he should pull you by more than one car from 40-125 unless he screwed up, or you got a good jump, or his car isn't fully broken in...by way of example, when R&T ran the new GTR vs the 911 Turbo S, the Turbo, which traps 5 mph faster than the GTR, was already one car ahead by 50 mph, and about 4 cars out by the end of the 1/4 mile.

I'd expect more like 3 or 4 cars at this distance.

Ignore Improviz above. He argues everyone's street race stories. I'm sure your recollection was accurate for your race and why wouldn't it be as you are admitting you were slower this day. Sounds like an awesome race of two incredible cars! Thanks for sharing!! Cheers!

Improviz is a hell of a lot better of a contributing member than you are on this forum.

He's just stating some facts and specifications on what the outcome SHOULD'VE been. But of course, I'm sure he acknowledged that anything can happen on the street or whatever. He's taken that into account.

Troll boy, it sounds like you're just trying to support yourself's reason and logic when you claimed that you can take down any BMW M3 in your CLK550. Trying to support yourself. I got it.

Improviz

Not really, unless someone posts something utterly ridiculous like pulling an new M3 in a CLK550.

Oh, and also, could you please post me a link to any forum wherein you can post an outlandish kill story and not have it challenged by anyone? I've yet to see such a magical forum, perhaps it exists in The Mystical, Magical Land Where CLK550s Pull M3s...

Btw how bout some pics of your CLK from sunny LA?

AMGJared

I second the pictures. Improviz is highly knowledgeable and his posts are based on facts. I've read a lot of his responses over the years and tend to agree on most of them. He doesn't make **** up or bash ANY kill stories that have truth or that are near to the facts of simple road test data and real world experiences that have been documented. NY01 your new, started off on the wrong foot with your kill story...at least lets see some pictures of the car try to get some points back from the mbworld community.

Improviz

Thanks, guys! Hey, Jared, I too used to have an '00 Audi S4, that was a fun little ride! Loved that Quattro back in the days when we used to actually get rain around here!

AMGJared

Great car I loved mine. Just the maintenance is crazy and I was having bad luck with failing o2 sensors and worrying about my k03's popping since my car was chipped and had a lot of other goodies. Its a great car but a headache. I miss the AWD especially having two RWD cars now and winter coming up I think its time for me to add something else to the lineup. B5 S4's are a steal now if you look on autotrader or whatnot but I don't think I could deal with it again haha.

NY01, where's the pictures of the CLK550 sitting at your home?? Are you Kbahl's 2nd troll account? Is it that white CLK550? Or whatever?

Jons95c36amg

Well he did have a skinny passenger. Nobody jumped first. BTW the new GTR does 9.4sec 60-130..

Vic55

Impro please check but dont some mags have the GTR trapping closer to 121mph? And dont most mags correct their tests for DA? Im asking cause the 123++ number that the OP posted seems pretty strong and this could be the 1 car difference??

Improviz

I thought the 2012 models were running faster, let me check:

OK, here's what I got:
C&D:
Zero to 60 mph: 2.9 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.1 sec
Zero to 120 mph: 10.0 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 3.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.2 sec @ 126 mph

R&T:
0-60 mph 2.9 sec
0-100 mph 7.1 sec
0-1320 ft (¼ mile) 11.1 sec @ 124.3 mph

MT:
0-30 1.1 sec
0-40 1.6
0-50 2.2
0-60 2.9
0-70 3.8
0-80 4.8
0-90 6.0
0-100 7.4 PASSING, 45-65 MPH 1.5
QUARTER MILE 11.2 sec @ 122.7 mph

So it depends....a slower one trapping at 122.7 would be much closer, obviously, seems like as before they're somewhat inconsistent. I forget which mags altitude correct (know that C&D does, forget about the rest, would have to check later)...anyway, definitely not outside the realm of possibility, particularly given all of the intangibles that could affect a run like this. Now, if it was one that trapped at 126, otoh....

Vic55

Thanks makes perfect sense... C and D and their lovely numbers haha. I just got a mag (forgot which one) where the GTR traps 121 but it was a multi car comparo test with the 458, R8, GTR, 997 GT3 RS and others... cant remember which one damn.

Jons95c36amg

Yeah the 530hp GTR are very strong. Dragtimes they trap 123+. Dynoed 474awhp! Talk about underrated!

themyst

LOL, some full weight 335i sedan auto on stock turbos, no nitrous did a 9.0 60-130. **** I own one and I call BS No way in hell a 335i on stock turbos will hang with a '12 GT-R.

kbahl21

im sure i would have a troll account. i dont care enough to go through all that work. I never had a 1st troll account by the way so he couldn't really be my 2nd. Sorry, i am really late on this thread.

11.18 @ 121 out of the box . . .
