Default Races
Met up with a few guys yesterday and had a blast. All good dudes, and we got some good races in, I thought.

Those are retarded gains from a tune on an all motor car. I think I'd be in trouble on the 150 shot, but I'd love to find out

Wow im shocked at how fast that thing was for its power/weight ratio. Good runs. I was also shocked at the bike... i had to reread if it was on motor or spray after the race. Are those 650s that much slower then the zx6?

Yeah, the 650 is 2 cylinder that is rated well under 100 hp. He said it tops out around 125-130. We agreed to run up to 100, but ran out to 110 both times.

It's just a bike with a different purpose than the R bikes. Ran well for what it was I thought.

Make sure he holds off on the tune untill I get a shot at it, lol. I'm sure I won't have much of a chance afterwards if it actually gains anywhere near what it should.

The C63 AMG (451hp) is just a detuned/slightly more restrictive exhaust than the S63 AMG (518hp) from what I read. Which explains so much

That was a close run we had. Once you get the shift points taken far of we'll line up again and see how far out you can get on me.

We should get the GTO, AMG, cammed Formula, G8 on the 75 shot, and your white Z28 all out together.

That's because Merc detunes them for marketing reasons, don't want them making the same power as the more expensive cars they share a motor with.
