Surprise!!

The trouble with cars like SL's,Porsche,Ferrari etc is when you meet a challenger it's always a boy racer in a tuned hatchback, the chances of meeting something near is almost impossible, the answer is to scale down,
wolf in sheep's clothing. How about a little C class sport coupe, with a 320
CDi engine tuned to the max. I think they can get nearly 300 bhp from that engine, I always remember a E class 320CDi trying to stay with my E55 AMG.
and although he didn't I was surprised how quick he was.
Just a thought.

Just let the boy racer go and wave as you roll by while the nice officer is writing a ticket. Most people are almost never quite that lucky but if you are, you will remember it for a long time.

It only happend to me once but it was quite sweet to very slowly roll by the pulled-over civic and give an overly chipper wave hello to my former challenger.

I don't understand the idea behind his thread in this particular forum?

You want to race boyracers? You want to tune a diEsel so you surprise unsuspecting owners of expensive cars? What is it?

No your not quite getting it. The Idea was if you own a supercar you'll
blow most things away,because the chances of you meeting another supercar
is very rare here. Now there are some very powerful Audi's, Golf,s Ford's
etc, but unless you meet the very top, say the Audi RS6 with 570 bhp you
will blow them away. However a C class sport with the 3 litre diesel re mapped
along with some bits and pieces will be quick, and de badged all these what
I call boy racers will have a shock being beaten by C class sport. Indeed
much more fun, and if you like racing people you will be challenged several
times a day by the cars I mention. The word boy racer actually men of all
ages that fancy blowing past you. Great fun I can assure you.

you are going to a great extent. this can be accomplished much easier- get a civic, built a "frankenstein" motor (go read on them if you care), run a big turbo and dump exhaust right behind front wheel but retain stock exhaust in the back. proceed to blow the doors off pretty much anything on the road.

but then again- what is the point of your original post in the r230 amg forum?
