Default 02 Camaro SS vs. bentley continental gt

ive always wanted to race one of these 550 hp W12 giant cars, and i finally got to. i got to a light next to this older guy in one he looks at me and gives me a smile, i rev alittle and he gives me the look that hes game. the light turns green and we both take a nice, not to crazy start, we both floor it at the exact same time we are dead even thru 1st, dead even thru 2rd, and dead even thru 3rd, neither one of use gets into 4th but we both got to about redline. i guess the transmissions of our cars are about exactly the same we were shifting at the exact and i mean exact same time, the race was dead even, neither one of us pulled for even 2 feet!

Man, the weight of those things really make a difference. Would he have gotten you up top though? Top of 3rd is 110ish correct?

I thought they were faster than that... but they ARE pigs, still an awesome looking car though. Great run.

No way is that thing pulling to 198mph. Awesome cars, but not a chance is it hitting 190+


Awesome race however - I come across alot of those for some reason, but none ever wanna play.

I have 0 doubt it would hit 198 or more. Its aerodynamic, its got power, and weight does not mean much in terms of top absolute speed.

Very nice job keeping up. Light NA versus psycho FI tank is always a good race!

They are very popular around Scottsdale AZ.

Yeah, correction. Just did some research and apparently you are right. Bentley quotes 198 top speed. Oh well, I was wrong. It does, in fact, happen

Props to Bentley - wish i was a bro basketball player/ceo so i could afford one w/rims too

Funny you mention that. I used work at qualcom stadium(san diego). The entrance we took was where the players parked their rides. Ricky Henderson had one with 22's. The tires were fn huge. Other than that there wasnt as much bling as youd expect. Of cource it is only baseball.

Must be nice owning a car thats worth as much as a 2 bedroom condo.
