Hi all:
Had a bit of fun with 2 cars yesterday. Stoplight race onto a straight bridge. Very safe. No possibility of cars merging or pedestrians. Dry road, optimum conditions for all cars.
3 lanes. Viper on my left and CLS 55 on my right. WE all give one another the nod. I turn off my AC and ESP and wait for the light to turn green.....FAST and FURIOUS for 10 seconds and.....
....the results:
3rd place: CLS 55. At the end of the bridge, it is about 2 car lengths behind me.
2nd place: RS6. I am about 2 car lengths behind the Viper. From 0-70 mph, the RS6 is dead even with the Viper. When the Viper shifts into 3rd gear, it pulls 1 car length. In 4th gear, it pulls another car length and that's it. Perhaps the driver was incompetent but those were the results.
1st place: Viper....but he had to try very very very hard.
Over the bridge at the next light, we all talk to one another. Very friendly.
CLS driver: Your car is FAST. Is it stock?
Viper: What is that? How much horsepower do you have?
Me: I tell a lie......." It's stock..450hp". The look on their faces...."PRICELESS".
Summary: RS6 is a BEAST not intimidated by Supercars.
Cheers.
