: how was this possible??
vpec13 06-23-2008, 06:06 AM so pull up to an A6 at a light.. from a stop pulled him off the line then fucked up my second gear shift so he beat me.. so then we pull onto the highway...from about an 80 mph roll in 3rd gear we go again.. and i pulled away from about 80-110 no problems... how.. when a stock A6 is a V6 pushin 255 hp.. compared to my stock 180 haha...
kingG5 06-23-2008, 08:57 AM Cuz he wasn't racing...
vpec13 06-23-2008, 09:26 AM considering.. he pulled up to me and said... "lets race" and took off of the line.. im pretty sure he was... and then at the nxt light he told me to race him on the highway.. so.. i am pretty sure he was
PursuitGT 06-23-2008, 12:43 PM Doesn't the A6 have like 1000lbs more then a G5's???
_UnLiMiTeD_ 06-23-2008, 01:39 PM guess it would depend on what year because so far from what i have been lookin into,the A6's are 16 second cars. They are nothing to brag about lol
Rocky 06-23-2008, 03:20 PM I've raced my friend's 01 A6. They're not that fast...
ringflyer 06-23-2008, 03:25 PM they're heavy as sin...
......gorgeous, but heavy.
springerdesigner 06-23-2008, 03:39 PM heavy and bad driver... you should try driving his car..!
vpec13 06-23-2008, 04:17 PM haha thanks everyone.. i wanted to telll him how does it feel to get beate by a car thats like 20k cheaper then yours haha
USMCFieldMP 06-24-2008, 03:01 AM More than likely he was a Quattro, meaning AWD... meaning that his 255bhp turns into 191AWHP... then tack on the fact that they weigh just over 4000lbs. Then you have the Formula for a slow car.
i wanted to telll him how does it feel to get beate by a car thats like 20k cheaper then yours haha
And then he simply could have added, "How does it feel to drive that Shitty GM Econobox?"
A6's aren't made for Speed. They are made for Luxury. ;) And lemme tell you, they are GOOD at what they do.
vpec13 06-24-2008, 06:29 AM hey ur driving GM so you should be on my side.. and of course he could of said that and i could of said what i wanted to say.. but hey im a good sport and i gave him a beep and went along my merry way haha
denlou 06-24-2008, 06:42 AM hey ur driving GM so you should be on my side...
Too fast and too furious man.
kingG5 06-24-2008, 08:40 AM hey ur driving GM so you should be on my side.. and of course he could of said that and i could of said what i wanted to say.. but hey im a good sport and i gave him a beep and went along my merry way haha
either way...compared to an A6 the pursuit/g5/cobalt is a peice of shit.
Memedya 06-24-2008, 04:04 PM Cuz he wasn't racing...
Bravo!!!
Nighthawk243 06-24-2008, 05:21 PM Different car, different purpose.
liveg5 06-24-2008, 10:03 PM Not like it's anything but i kept up with a caddy cts In my 2.2L. Ok I was at a traffic light when this black cts with a mesh grills pulls up but i guess he wasn't sure he could beat me so he pulled up a little farther than me, so the light turns I take off and so does he and he didn't gain any ground on me but since he pulled ahead of me at the light he was ahead when the lanes murged into one now is that possible?

That made my head hurt.
And its a Cadillac... not a Corvette. They are made with the purpose of being luxurious, not speed demons (well, before the CTS-V, that was the case).
liveg5 06-25-2008, 08:22 AM You can't be serious a cts still has more horse power than my 2.2liter. Regardless of what its made for it still has a bigger motor than the g5. You can't use that excuse for everything.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 06-25-2008, 09:01 AM yes and it easily weighs twice as much as your car. Remember power isnt everything, go race a semi truck, they got huge motors with tons of torque. Or a freight train, they have 4300hp.

agreed A6= Luxury, G5=economy car, it's like trying to compare apples and oranges
and for the rest, I bite my tongue :)

with this one post, you've made yourself seem like you know nothing about cars. hp isn't everything. and in the end, you still drive a base economy car from gm, while he's relaxing in his cadillac. now you tell me who has the 'last laugh'.
i'm beginning to dread coming into this section more and more.

Oh, I forgot... weight plays no roll on Mother Earth... what am I thinking! http://smiliesftw.com/x/pat.gif
Seriously though... that Cadi probably weighs in closer to 4000lbs where as your base model Cobalt weighs in at just under 3000lbs. Weight makes a HUGE difference.
Ir0niK 06-25-2008, 02:20 PM i know some one who test drove a cts.
they said it had a lot of power but didnt get off the line very fast.
one of the reasons he didnt get it....another...its overpriced
congrats on the win anyways. a win is a win
as long as it has a motor
vpec13 06-26-2008, 09:21 AM yes i didnt mean to start no arguements.. just tried show off my stuff
USMCFieldMP 06-26-2008, 09:42 AM yes i didnt mean to start no arguements.. just tried show off my stuff
You're cool. We aren't arguing. We're straightening out the facts. ;)
Ir0niK 06-26-2008, 02:14 PM yea man...
i can believe that our cars beat it.
and i understand how you might have thought it wasnt possible because even i get caught up sometimes in thinking that its all about the motor. VERY wrong though lol.
USMCFieldMP 06-27-2008, 03:59 AM How do you think I feel when a shitty looking 200whp Honda Hatch runs almost side by side with me??? Haha
Weight can do just as much damage as Horsepower can.
