Post Twin Turbo 4dr Bentley Talkin' Smack

A local (NFL Football Player) owns a Newer Bentley with v-12 twin turbo setup from what his stepbrother says, anyways the NFL Stars Stepbrother has been talkin some serious smack ever since i spanked the crap out of the new SRT8 Charger that he owned previously with a tune and some pretty heavy mods done to it. He wants to run me this weekend and i know nothing about the bentley cars as im not a rich man and id like to know if i can compete with that with my mods done to my Z-28. Mods are : Full Bolt ons, Ls6 intake, Thunder Racing Raptor Cam, 3500 Stall, 2.73 gears, Full Suspension mods, Hp tuned. Usually spank C6 vettes all day long. VS Bentley 4dr with V-12 and 22 " wheels. What do yall think Could it be a Kill or a Death

Bentley's weigh over 5000 lbs and their horsepower rating until recently was described as adequate or more than adequate for the turbo cars. You'd probably win a race but he'll be more comfortable and get laid more.

If its the same car i just looked at, then its about a 12.5 car, so if you can beat that then yea, you should win. Also consider the driver mod, this guy can play ball but can he drive?

If he's any good I doubt he'd risk his contract driving in a street race, most likely have someone else drive it. I don't think I'd care about losing a race in a Bentley either way, you can't drive that fast if you want people to see you pullin up to valet....

Throw some gears in there, real sticky tires, and run from a dig with a finish line. That's your best shot.

Lookin up the specs on the Bentley...

you gotta watch racing some of these high end exotic cars. they may not get uot of the hole fast but they have a lot of top end pwoer and the faster you go the less weight plays a factor so look out. I think you should ditch the 2.73's in favor of 3.42's or 3.73's

Agreed. Those things are no slouch for the heavy *** car they are. Id get gears and a sticky tire to ensure the win.

If its the 4 dr. its the Flying Spur, they are very fast cars and can reach 200MPH. In a regular 1/4 mile race its probably a drivers race.

There's always stories from time to time of athletes excessively speeding and/or crashing. If they're doing drugs and carrying guns, I doubt a street race is something they're too concerned about.
