Default Killed my first Z06

I was on my way home sunday night around 12:00 and a z06 comes up on me he paced me at about 30-40MPH looks at me and he takes off.... he got a decient jump before I went WOT, my low traction light pops on and I notice I have TCS on so i flip it I finaly get traction and PULL HARD I got to about 85 90 and slowwed down a good 4+ cars ahead of him. The lanes were about to go from 2 to 1 and he does a fly by I wasnt gonna fight for the lane since he was goign about 90-100 and i was at 40. he got to the GREEN light in the turn lane and stops so I roll up and he yells.... nice Fing car man that thing pulls freakin hard cant beileve you pulled me good work sick car bro. the guy was pretty cool about it and gave me props.

I was suprized I killed him by so much with having TCS and spining like crazy once I take care of my traction problems this cars gonna be awesome.

Now where are those Vipers?

Good kill. I have had my car for 3 years now and I still have not gotten a Zo6 or a viper to run me.

Awesome kill. Those are some very nice numbers and a very mean setup you got there.

So you were spinning at 40 mph, took the time to notice and flip off your tcs switch, get traction, accelerate, and you still beat the Z06 to 90 mph with 4+ car lengths to spare?

Really?

And you gave him the jump?

Really?

With an automatic?

Really?

Ahem...

This is bullshit.

You have a fast car, no doubt.

You'd take a stock Z06 no problem.

But this story is a fabrication at one or more points.

ok well it all happens really fast you should know that but thats as well as I can discribe it in words.


yes my TCS was on as i started to spin i just faintly saw the light flash and fliped my switch as I kept going (I was probly at 65-70 when i fliped it) . the wheels broke lose but it wasnt bad I was still going forward just not hooking hard. it was only 1-2 sec and he only pulled half a car or so before I hooked. I may of been going faster a turn was coming so i hit the brakes then looked down to see the tach at 90-95 and droping so I may of been quite a bit faster I dont like/mean to go faster than 100 on the street. hit 145 the other day racing another Trans am on accendent and freaked out. so I may of slightly lied to my self to mack it ok in my mind


if you dont want to believe me I can really care less though. I know alot of ppl post fake runs but this is not. im not the type to do that, and am personaly offended by that. I thought this was a place to tell your story I didnt know it was a true/BS area. Ill just keep my kills to my self and not post here

peace

I would not say this is BS.

"P1SC Alky injection
255Pump 42lb Injectors
Vig 3200 /Trans go kit/cooler
SLP Long Tube Exhaust
3.42 gears
467 RWHP Locked
440 RWHP Unlocked"

A4 or not, this kill is plausible.
Good kill and nice to see props from the Z06. There is a "Nay" sayer in every crowd.

I agree, I think this is a kill for sure, and just think the way he described it made it seem alittle harder to believe. I have turned off my TCS plenty of times during a race, it takes a half second to press the button (hands on the shifter anyways).

It's pretty commonly agree'd that it takes an M6 LS1 right around 400rwhp to beat a stock Z06 .... therefore I would assume it would take an A4 around 385ish to the wheels to do the same. With around 450 to the wheels, this guy should have absolutely no problem playing catch up and destroying a z06 pretty badly. 3-4 cars definately sounds doable to me.

thanx for the back up guys i asure you its a real kill.

yes it takes a fraction of a sec to turn of TCS and i am an A4 and generally only drive with my left hand from habit so my right hand is free.

why does every one still think A4 are so much slower than an M6 anyways whatever. with my TC i see 8 psi almost instantly.

So after wading through your backpedaling I'm left with this:

You put 4.5+ cars on a Z06 from a 70-85 run.

Right.

Just get your story straight before posting.

No one here doubts you'd take a stock Z06.

I don't see how you can call bs on a story like this when the guy is putting almost 100 more hp to the ground than the Z06.

Also, I'm pretty sure he said he raced from around 40 mph to around 105 mph. He said he flipped the TCS switch around 65-70 mph.
