Ran a GTO and V12 S500
So i ran my friends 04 GTO today. We raced about a month ago before my LT's and duals and i edged him out by a fender. This was from a 60 roll on the highway. The GTO only has an intake and it is very fast for being basically stock. I thought it would be a lot slower.
First run: We go from a 2nd gear roll but he hits it first and jumped out about a car. I quickly reeled him in and passed him very easily. (he said he accidentally left his TC on
Second run: We went from a 2nd gear roll again and he jumped again. He had a 1/2 car jump but i reeled him in and buy the time we shifted into fourth i had about 2-3 cars on him. I was pulling him the entire time.
Third run: This run was from a 3rd gear roll on the highway. I looked in the mirror and seen him drop it and take off, so i did the same. He had the jump again this time he had the momentum and a 1 car lead. I reeled him in and put about 1 1/2 cars on him before we let off. We shut down at about 130.
At the end he told " I was getting the jump every time on purpose " He told me he was getting the jump because i knew i would pull him. Those were some fun runs
.......I had a short run with an older Mercedes Benz. I dont know much about MB but this one said S500 and it had V12 badges on the side.
This run was from about 60-130. I seen this MB jump up on my *** and ride me for a while, so as soon as the traffic cleared i switched lanes so he could get on the side. As i'm slowing down so we can line up i see him punch it in my mirror. I hit it as soon as he was lined up with me, even though he had momentum. We were even for about a second then i pulled off on him and by 130 he was about 5 buses back. I'm assuming he just quit after i pulled him that hard.
Then he pulls next to me with his window down. So i roll mine down and give him a thumbs up. This guy was VERY excited. He gave me props and told me i had a badass car and gave me a thumbs up and we parted ways.
WOW!! This is the longest post in the world.....SORRY
PS......my mods are: Lid, filter, MAF, Bellow, CAI, Ported TB, LT's, Duals

What shape? If it was the old heavy tank-type thing, 380hp/420tq.
If a 200-ish shape, then either a 360hp/400tq NA V12, or a 500hp/600tq TT V12.

For a V12....it was pretty slow.

Those things were amazing for 1994 but 13 years later everyone has caught up. My uncle owned a 94 S600 and a 95 SL600 back when they were new cars, they were amazing to drive. Smooth as silk, and some serious grunt.
