LIL C32 AMG

Pulled up to a light after work while taking a buddy home and I saw a SRT-4 showing off his blow-off valve, so my buddy goes to the guy what you got? the guy laughs and goes what is that a 6- cylinder and we laugh and say yeah its just a 6-cylinder completely stock. We punch it at the light, I power launched up to 2500k and let off the brake and took off to about 110 I shut down and I had 4-5 car lengths on the guy. So we after I shut down I slowly make my way to the next traffic light and the guy goes wtf? that cars like 55,000 how much power you got. We talked a bit and then we went on our ways. Anyway that was my first smack talking race. BTW I own a stock C32 AMG. Hoping to upgrade with renntech ECU/Pulleys kit so I can run with C5 vettes.

Very nice When i had my '00 C32 i would constantly get idiots that thought they would smoke me Congrats on the kill!

PsssTkiD

the AMG letters itself, would beat the srt-4

Let me see if i can find out who ran you.

ronnie0738

nice kill, but how did you brake torque to 2500rpm? I thought the tranny would only let you go up to ~1500 and back off.

kostas86 - since when do they have a 2000 C32? The first yr was 2002.

C43...typo

funny story, I had a guy in San Clemente CA. in a 2003 Corvette not the z06. I reved my engine at him and he looked over and said, you can't possibly beat me in that v6. I said, would you like to find out. I didn't see him the whole time after the light was green except for in my rear view

Actually I get the same problem with C32 owners when I am on the bike. They are all territorial and then suddendly get stomped on. There's nothing like a good ego beating.

Since we are comparing apples and oranges (bikes and cars), I thought that I would toss in my $.02:

I have the same problem when I am on a jet plane and am flying parallel to the freeway. Those cars just wither away with impotence.

Honduh_guy

Well, actually if a C32 owner is dumb enough to think the car stands a chance, he is the one making the comparison, I am merely the reminder of the laws of physics.

Vomit

Oh, and BTW, I have smoked a few bikes in my C32 (mostly older rice rockets). Obviously, there are many bikes which will hand my **** to me, but it's still fun to try!

In 2000, didn't they have C43's?

Honduh_guy

They must have been really old. If you are sport about it, that's all in good spirit. There are idiots on bikes too.

It's the 'I am the eagle of the road' syndrom that's fun to watch. It usually goes by 'seasons' and car models. The most fun I had was with a bozzo in a Z3 3.0i, top down with the blonde posturing next to him. I was cruising by at 80 (5mph over traffic) and he gets into my lane and tailgates me. Quick torque work to 120 and I am pulling away to go sit back at my 80 a few hundred yards ahead. Now he is getting really territorial and when he gets next to me he downshifts to whatever gear (that was somewhat loud). I did nothing for a while to let him settle at a half decent speed and went to warp, passed him at 160+ and went to cruise mode to 65-70. When he passed me, he was doing 70-75, looking straight with a nervous blush, and the blonde was smiling and waving.

****, I should go trolling on BMW boards.

Why are we comparing bikes to cars?

SUPRA > BIKES

I hope you dont have a 600 b/c my C32 eats up little 600s!!! My R6 never had a chance against my C32!!!

Honduh_guy

1100, more than enough for most stock cars, and many heavily modded.

Now to the R-6 vs C32. Stock for stock, pretty much no contest below 140. But the R6 is a bike, so skills do matter a lot more than a step-on-it-grow-skills-some-other-time device like the C32. Edit: dunno about the Renntech though.

PS: Supras can be quite good, but you still have to put 600-700 RWHP, and by then you have a car that has such a binary engine that it becomes very specialized for straight line.

BenzoAMGpower

i know some street driven supras that will take a busa!!!

Honduh_guy

Agreed, and YES that is pretty good. Now if we talk about the guys who turbo their busas and put down 260 to 400 hp, we get in the insane category, which I will stay away from. You lose the 'useable fun' factor, and I don't have the *****.

Don't get me wrong, some cars are VERY exciting. If only Mercedes would do manual transmissions they would rank so much higher on the 'fun' scale.

BenzoAMGpower

my friend has a turbo R1... he is afraid to drive it!!! Dude, u cant roll deep into that throttle w/o the front starting to lift up!!! I cant even begin imagine how bad a turbo busa is!!!
