Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2009 clio 182................................................. now thats embarrassing!! the thing was rapid, either that or i had my mat stuck under the accelerator.... googled 'turbo conversions' for the VR when i got home!! Check out my home build turbo thread on the VR6OC :D It's not a bad job at all extracting 400hp - http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum ... php?139931 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2009 The best owning I've been victim to is a Merc E55 AMG. I must admit I have almost purchased one of these and Im still tempted... :norty: CL500? My mate used to have one. Normally aspirated version of the SL55 engine. Wasn't very quick at all tbh.....car felt too big and too heavy and had precisely zero steering information :lol: Good cruiser, but a sports car it isn't :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted March 23, 2009 I was tailed by a new shape bimmer yesterday, I gave it the beans but he still kept on my tail. He had to pull off for fuel before I could let him past to see what flavour it was, but I think it must have been an M5 cos every other bimmer I have met so far I have beaten, including an M3.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2009 The new shape M3 is easily beaten in the midrange with a VRT, but they seem to come back at ya at the top end though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leonard 0 Posted March 23, 2009 CL500? My mate used to have one. Normally aspirated version of the SL55 engine. Wasn't very quick at all tbh.....car felt too big and too heavy and had precisely zero steering information :lol: Good cruiser, but a sports car it isn't :D No it was the CL600 :grin: I thought a 5.5L twin turbo V12 sounded rapid. The 0-60 in 4.8 secs and 590lb ft was impressive anyway! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sprinterVR6 0 Posted March 23, 2009 got tango'd at the light by a Porsche Jeep, can't ever spell it tight. And weren't the Turbo one either :brickwall: my excuse is pish poor clutch control leading to a strange jack-rabbit start I've never done before :lol: I must've had the revs up quite high and dropped in the clutch late in 1st and the S3 just sort've shot forward. Must've looked weel stupid. First nothing, then loud revs and then ''POW'' were off! I was still 5 car lengths behind :lol: :epicfail: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KADVR6 0 Posted March 23, 2009 i remember when my car was Supercharged with approx 300bhp, and one day i got trully wiped out by a P reg corsa :( i soon found out it was running the vauxhall 2.0turbo engine with uprated everything, and was pushing out near 500bhp :shock: it was also 4WD, looked bog standard which really miffed me at the time :lol: soon after it was feature in performance vauxhaull after it had all be re-sprayed.

TomB 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Unsurprisingly, I failed to keep up with a white Gallardo today along the B645! It was only because my VR is sick though, yup, that's the only reason :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its ok I get embarrased by TDis on the straight all the time mate. :grin: I wasnt too sure why I started this thread. It feels a bit like a self help group now. "My name is Matthew and I drive a tiny sports coupe with a 3.0L engine that gets beaten by family hatchbacks on a daily basis" Ahhh that feels so much better to get that out :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
