Mike B Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I once followed an M3 waiting for him to pull over. He just sat in the outside lane. I had a look around, changed the track on the stereo, looked in my mirror, checked under my nails, then started to get really bored following him.... looked at my speedo, then realised he was trying to get away from me! I hadn't even noticed! I'd been on 1/3 throttle the whole time....lol a TVR kept reasonable pace with me (did not pll away so hard) when I was GT35R, but now... ? Marham and other supras are the only cars that I have been on a par with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Only once. Some uber model AMG merc, still not sure what it was but my god it made a lot of noise! Loverly motor. Had a little trouble with an F430 until about 145mph, after which the gap started to close, but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 surprised the ferrari gave you a hard time, didn't think they were that quick. Big mercs I can understand!! The F430 are a very quick car indeed. Take a look at the vmax results on PH: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=544410&nmt=VMax%20Typhoon%20Speeds That’s Jays car just above it, and that’s no slouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yes they are pretty quick, had a good run with one yesterday in my gtr but he gained about 3 car lengths up to 150 leptons. Guy was a good driver otherwise would have destroyed him! lol! Mind u my gtr is only around the 380 bhp mark currently so not exactly rapid. When i had my single i rarely came up with anything on highway that stressed me including a sl55 amg, m5 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I didn't lose, but I wasn't faster than the Milltek RS6s on the Autobahn. Until my coilpacks decided to throw a donkeypunch at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 186 bhp bike had my aristo easily enough yesterday (actually it wasn't that easy as he had his back wheel sliding out on him all the way to a tonne and I stayed way ahead until his grip came in and an oncoming car slowed me down). I say a bike it's more like a monocycle as every time he whoops past me he can only do it on one wheel Carwise not yet but there's plenty of time to find another singled up loonatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt k Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 MattC's Gt35R Supra at the bottom end, a 996 Turbo out of the lights, on the move nothing yet! I'm going for a run in with a ZX10-R soon, but I know i will get spanked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Not so far... A friend got his F430 spyder some weeks ago ... we'll check in the next weeks which one of the 2 cars is faster ... I'll keep you updated. So far, the only car where I had to push hard to smoke it was a 997 turbo (Porsche). ... the advantage is that it has much better traction in the lower gears due to its 4wd.

paul mac Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 only by a bike from a standing start, but then again i do live in the underprivaledged norf so dont get much chance to compare against serious cars, notable kills to date a Maserati, AMG Merc (gypsy scum bag) and a couple of 911's and a rake of boxsters and scoobys but they dont really count do they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
