Decided to give my friend a phone call after the club and he asked me if Iwanted to race. I said sure and went out to a local McD's to met him in the parking lot. Got lost looking for him in his Dakota R/T which is what I thought I was racing, but he was wit his buddy in an Integra Type R. They challenged me to race the Type R. I asked him his mods and from what I could see outside, he was stock including the exhaust. He has VTEC controller, Intake and headers. I said sure and told them to do it from a roll on the HWY and he accepted. I was getting pretty confident.

We hit the HWY and slowed right down to 25MPH and did a 3 honk start. I switched from E to S on my auto and shifted to the bottom of the gate getting ready to go. 1....2....3GO! GUNNED IT and he started to pull on me, hoping that I was going to get him in the top end, I accidently shifted up past my next gear and he was gone.

We had a remtach. Did the same thing again accept this time with no mishift. He ATE ME alive! I was in AWE! :o I didn't start cathcing him until past 140MPH where he was starting to die down, but he was already like 10+ car lengths away!

We ran it again and I said we do it from 60MPH and same outcome. I was getting punished big time! He also had 1 passenger in the car too!

One last run from 85MPH and same outcome! Although his top end is week. I noticed me catching him slowly when I shut it down at about 155MPH. He was TOO far away for me to catch up.

I thought he must have had NOS or something else he wasn't telling me about. He told his car dies at 140MPH though. He's planning on taking it out to the track t osee what ti will do. We are all curious to see.

That happend about a month ago and now the timing is fixed on my car and I had realized that I had started off in 2nd gear as well and that my car has some throttle issues where the throttle only opens 3rd of the way.

Planning on a remtach once i'm running 100%!

MB AMG

The 560SEC lost! Intake and headers should give you 40HP? I have no idea!? What are the specs of the 560 GTR John?

GTR John

^Do I know you???

This Forum is" KILL STORIES" not "GETTING KILLED"...I enjoyed reading both your different threads i.e. GT mustang
be sure to write back w/kill after you get throtle + timing issues cleared up...

Vomit

Ricker:

The "Got Killed" stories are almost as good as the "Got A Kill" stories.

However, I do admit that a "Got Killed" story involving an 8 cylinder MBZ against a 4 cyl. Acura brought tears to my eyes. . .

CHB

If the car is not 100% to start with, it gives the type R a chance to win. This is what I blame the loss on, please keep us posted!

Thericker

It is refreshing reading some "got killed" stories at least you know they have to be true but some just plain hurt to read..

Buy the way Vomit, I just started checking this "Kill" forum out and read some of your threads there very entertaining, good stuff!!

GTR John

That Type R pulled me harder than that GT Mustang did. What does that say about how quick that lil 4 banger goes. It's not slow and I'm dieing to see what it will do out in the trick. And if you guys want kills stories??? I have plenty I can post of with my TT Stealth, but this IS a Mercedes forum afterall. I will however be getting some kills with the SEC soon enough. It's running real strong and i just have to get the throttle issues taken care of with some time.

6.3

Is it a true Euro (Grey Market) 560 sec? How much AMG is in it (bumper kit)? The US version of 560sec was pretty slow with all the detuning for smog regulations and I don't think it even had 300hp. Euro version should have about 300hp but I am not certain. 560 sec is a big car too so I am not sure if you really had a chance. But I would take a 560sec over acura integra anyday. 560sec are just drop dead awesome looking.

GTR John

It is a True German 560 SEC with the AMG package minus the motor. The Euro version has 300HP. The Type R integra does run high 14's stock by a regular driver and my friend can REALLY drive and his car isn't stock. The Type R is no regular everyday Integra. They do actaully perfrom to the hype of an Normal Aspirated small 4 cyl engine.

Hank

fully built B18C5s can be pretty quick...

Stiggs

Hey GTR John,
Got any pics of that 560 sec? I love the looks of that car. Thats the same car in Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze right?

Thats how I knew I loved mercedes, when that movie came out, I fell in love with that car!

GTR John

Here ya go.

Simply, beautiful!!!! That pic makes me miss my old SEC. Here she she is:

s0vietbenz

this means that my s500 would take your car by a few cars. I have raced a new gt mustang with mods. I took him by a few cars.

GTR John

In the condition that it was running, (****ty) when i race that Stang, it is running WAY better nwo but still nto at 100%. The throttle only opens 75% by gas pedal. We haven't really had time to check it out and the car is burning oil, so we probably will be pulling the motor out. Butm honestly, by the way it is running right now, I think I could pull low 14's 1/4 as compared to my friend G35 which I drove, the 560 SEC also being an auto, felt a tad quicker and G35 coupes run low 14's@98mph.

s0vietbenz

well if u lost to a gt mustang u'll be pulling low 15's and g35 is a fast low end car. I raced from a stop he took my by halfcar (race was to 65) from a 60 mile roll I just kinda ****ted on him. infinti is a infinti its never all around car. benz is.

GTR John

Mustang GT's run low 14's ands some have even broken into the 13's stock. The one I raced was chipped and I launched from idle in 2nd gear as he launched like he knew what he was doing, but as soon as my RPM went up higher, his pull was slowing down quick. Another reminder of just HOW my car was running VER y****t y at that time with crap timing.

s0vietbenz

Mustang is ****. You'll **** on the mustang another day. Nice car by the way

GTR John

Thanx Dude.

EuroCoupe

Low 14's is optimistic. My euro 560SEC ran high 14's with 3.27 limited slip gears. U.S. 560's run it in 15.5, some a little faster than others.

GTR John

I'm dieing to take it the track, but my pops doesn;t think ti 's a good idea. I'm sure one run won;t hurt it and I can launch the car from like 2500 with nothing but a chirp of the back tires and it's really pulls. I'm VERY curious to see how it will go.


Did you run that high 14 time with the 6.0?????

EuroCoupe

Nooo... Just a euro 560 motor (300hp). Haven't taken the 6.0 to the track yet but should be in the high 13's.

GTR John

I'm VERY anxious to take the car to the track. Since I ran the Mustang GT, I've had the throttle problem fixed so it open 100% instead of the usual 75% and can launch the car from 3K RPM with just a chirp of the tires starting in third and the car pulls in ALL gears. 1rst gear goes by sooo fast. We still need to d oa compression test and get the compueter analyzed. Getting 100% is the best thing we wanna do before hitting the local track. I have a feeling this might just be a shocker.

Jon200

Nice story John. Whether you chop or got chopped, still a race.

Those Type-rs' are sleaky little *******s. They crap all over heaps on cars on the track !
