Default Got me and F430 and M6 this week

A buddy I work with picked up a 2006 Ferrari F430 vert last week and I FINALLY got a chance to pull up next to him at the light. He has a passanger. The light turned green and we both took off at the same time..I left at about 1500rpms...I got a car on him pretty fast and pulled around another car till I hit 85mph before we had to brake.
Then today I was on the intersate and a new M6 pulled up behind me and rode my ***...so once the car infront of me pulled over I punched it at around 70mph and pulled several cars on him till I hit 120.

My car is a 2002 Z06 with H/C/I and forged 347ci. It makes 480rwhp.

But last week I got my *** handed to me at the light by a new CTS-V. It was a much older guy driving it so I didnt think he would punch it. the light turned green and he was through the light before I had a chance to realize he was racing..I tried to catch up but it was too late. He slowed down at around 80 and turned and gave me a thumbs up.

Good kill and good death.

Those CTS-Vs are no joke with the LSA...

Yep, 80mph is enough to make up for a blown launch, even at your hp levels. If you see him again, it will be a different story for sure.

Nice kills, but I would not say you lost to the CTS-V, because he took off and you didn't and he stopped at 80mph, giving no time to catch up or even make it close..........

x2. an 80mph cut off would only be like an 1/8 mile race... and the 60ft (or start for that matter) will determine the winner...

Wouldn't get too upset about that one.
