ss vs 6.3 amg

So i was driving home from work crusing in my ss when my boss pulled up beside me. He has a 2009 6.3 amg!!! ""tuned and exhaust"" so we waited for the green light and launched. In the 1/4 i took him by at least a car and a half!!! Best day of my life. he wanted to go from a roll cause he said he spent out to much, we did. this time i got him by about 2 and a half! :brick2: i guess this is what he felt like knowing i got my ride for about $6 grand and he paid over $80. !!!!!!!SS always comes out ahead!!!! ls1 for life.

way to go!!!!! what kind of mods do you have?

lt headers/ bmr drop,controlarms,tranny support, and sub frame connectors,and the stock slp intake and exhaust. took the tranny to a shop today to put new parts and a stage 3 spec clutch in. looking to put a cam and tune it in the next month or so11

sweet pick by the way

You shouldn't thread jack, and I'm adding fuel to the fire by responding :lol: , but an exhaust, lid, and LTs compliment an ORY as first mods. You should plan accordingly based on what LTs (if you plan on getting them) and exhaust before you go out and buy an ORY. Otherwise, if you get a y-pipe to fit your stock manifolds and then later decide you want LTs, guess what? it won't fit!

Very nice kill!

thanks for da heads up

That's flat out awesome. Hope you get a lot of respect now.

Somehow, I just kind of have a feeling that he isn't worried about a car that costs less than his out running him. There is a lot more to a car than just going fast in a straight line. He didn't pay 80k for a car to JUST go fast.

Yeah but in my experience most guys that buy a car like that for 80k do expect it to just be faster than everything else as part of the overall 'it's expensive, therefore it's better' mentality...

I'm glad he took him!

That's interesting considering a C63 AMG has the M156 V8 engine rated at 525hp/465tq stock and does 0-60 in 3.8s and the 1/4 in 12.0@120mph stock. It is claimed by Mercedes as the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 offered in a mainstream production car.

Somethings not right here. If your car is truly bolt-ons, he should have raped you bad. You sure he doesn't have a W204 chassis with one of the 5 other engine layouts they offer?

^ what he said. That doesnt seem right, but anything can happen on a street race

Maybe he was toying around with him, or he's lying. This story just doesn't make sense. :think:

I know for a fact you can't trap 120mph in a bolt-ons Camaro in street trim. I couldn't even trap that in my LS1 240SX with bolt ons, and that has a weight difference of almost 1000lbs.

Not everyone buys a car based on how fast it is or what they can beat on the streets with it.

Yes, I know, you basically said that already, and I responded to it. Now I must respond to your response. The cycle continues!

My point was my opinion that most folks that buy fancy expensive cars expect them to be faster, and not that they buy them solely to be faster...

I bet your opinion changes one of these days.

You're killing me.

Likewise

I've already died.....



But maybe the Mercedes lost because on some of those cars, you have to disable all kinds of shit to get the full power of the engine. Electronic nanny no-nos.
