1/4 mile # looks in line for the Lexus..!!

MotorTrend ran a 12.7 @ 112.2 mph. It can do 2/10s better on the right day.

 

Nah it would be exactly the outcome you would expect. The Vette is an absolute rocket, as is the Bentley. The Porsche was a Cayman GT4, not exactly a drag car anyway. All these cars were a part of the Best Drivers Car contest, in which they need to be a new model or significantly different than the prior MY. There was no new GTR this year. The Golf also can fairly close to the RC F's time.

 

Should be illegal to watch this without the proper audio setup.

Oh, and the Miata is definitely the most entertaining part of the video lol.

 

Sun tanning and bonus handicap launch before the rest of the pack..

WHERE was the Viper? I know, the Vette didn't want it in there Yep, i guess those numbers were about right though

 

a 12.9 second street car is still pretty damn fast! It might be slow compared to some of those monsters, but still faster than probably 80% of the cars on the road.

My first car did 16.90s at like 84 mph LOL and I thought it was fast as a kid!

 

^^^^Exactly, i remember back when we had our old dodge darts, demons & dusters & camaros & nova's & if you ran in the 12's that was a FAST car for the street. I had a Vega that had a 350 with 2-4's that only ran in the high 11's & it was the Fastest Car in town! Lol! Back then even if you had a car that ran in the 13's or 14's was considered pretty fast for the street.

 

speaking of Vegas...




my brother built this one. 358 NASCAR engine. tubbed...ladder bars...cage. such an ill beast...

 

Wow, yep that brings back some Memories. Mine was a darker burnt orange almost like a dark burgundy color, maybe almost like a rust color, Lol. I need to look thru some of my OLD photos & see if i can fine one. Does your brother still have it, is it strictly a drag car or does he drive it on the street (what kind of times does it turn). Thanks for the Pic Stock Vegas were some really Crappy Built cars but made some really Good Street Beasts & Drag Cars

 

The RC F's main competitor in this comparison is the ATS-V and it was 0.4 seconds behind in the quarter mile. Hardly a slacker. Right in line with the class. Also, the ATS-V finished one slot above the RC F in the comparison test that led to this one.

I dont think the C63S is in the same class. It costs $90K. You can get a CTS-V for that. While, the ATS-V is priced right in line with the RCF.

 

you can build rcf to 80k as well, m4 also north of 80k

 

The C63 non-S version is more in line with the RC F. They can be had for the same price and the non-S isn't too far off from the S model. The brakes are the biggest difference, acceleration performance is pretty close.

I looked at the C63 closely, but probably 75% of owners say they'll never own an AMG vehicle outside of warranty. They cost more than I feel is worthwhile to maintain. I'm a tightass lol I hate wasting money on overpriced maintenance.
