I was in Mexico tonight and raced a CTS V Coupe. He beat me by about a 1/4 car length. I fared MUCH better than I thought, considering the CTS V has 100 hp more. We went from about a 60 roll.

Oh and also I found out our cars are *electronically* limited to 174 mph

Did you have someone in the car? Maybe he wasn't stock?... I've ran V coupes and sedans, pulled a couple lengths on both. One of the V coupes I ran had a license plate that read "I EAT U".... he got pulled 4 times, told him to change his plate and he got all worked up lol.

Not sure if it was stock or not but yea I was alone in the car, and he jumped a fraction of a second before me on the throttle. But still, that car has 550-560 hp and ours are 467 I expected it to pull hard on me but nope. Maybe the guy you raced just didn't know how to drive? lol

Or maybe I don't know how to drive? lmao

My buddy owns a f10 m5 with an axle back and a tune, and from a rolling start at about 40, our cars are pretty much head on, but once he hits a 100, his car starts to walk on me.. Not bad for a 5.0 v8 with headers, intake, and exhaust.. His car is a twin turob v8!

When I get my supercharger though.....

Car sounds GREAT RCF500,

You get tuned yet? I think TTFS was working on your car right?

No it's not tuned yet, I believe Frank is working on the ECU maps for the RCF, I should hear something from them soon, but they do have a remote tuning option through OBD available for the ISF now.
