why are you not shifting past 6k?

 

^^^Was thinking the same thing. Regardless, great video!

 

Even on the track video they posted with the supercharger they short shifted..

 

Well today, I had the privilege to pull of the line three times against a McLaren 650S. I turned to sport mode+ and took every electronic control off. Even with peeling tires, I had him until about 45mph, at which he took over, but it wasn't a blow by, he got about 1.5 car lengths away! My only mods are suspension, E15 fuel, RLI oil, and the resonator delete. I'm positive with some exhaust and a carbon fiber driveshaft things would be different.

oh the best part at the end, McLaren driver: "damn dude, is that a SKYLINE?!" lol it's like even car enthusiasts are stumped by this car. Maybe I'll camo wrap it and call it an LF-A.

 

are your sure?

Up to about 30-40 those cars won't blow you away, past 60 is where they shine.

 

ssmoked doubting someone again and shown the door with photographic evidence.

damn right. A "photographic evidence" of a a car front of you doesnt mean anything. Sounds more like you have some personal butt hurt grudge issue with me bc i called one of your race wins BS.

we are talking about a supercar thats 650hp 678tq, 2.95 sec 0-60 and 10.6 quarter mile. Thats faster than a stock GTR, which we all know will smoke our RCF on a dig, roll, whatever... i raced a few, i would know

What's next? Claiming we are faster than a Bugatti just bc a photo was taken from the back?

 

Hey Josh! Logs looks good but there's a issue at around 6K RPM, the MAF detects way too much air and will fuel cut there, the solution has been found and I should have it by next week, other than that, the car is a different animal now! Oh I am in Sport +, I switched the gauges around because I rather see the needle than the yellow bars lol. See you on the 24th!

BS? I don't have any reason to lie, especially to an anonymous internet board. Both instances were fully explained. You're doubts came from whether we were identifying the car(s) correctly and a photo was produced afterwards. Not butthurt at all but this is not the first time you've attempted to discredit me or others.

There's a few more, but you get the drift... or maybe you don't.

 

Not related to the melodrama you guys are having with another race, but I highly, seriously doubt that he kept up with the McLaren at any range of RPM/Speed.

650S is rated at 600+ HP @ 3300 lb
RCF is rated at 460+ @ 4000 lb

Without factoring any other components (because McLaren has all the superior setup), mathematically speaking, RCF does not win, PERIOD. (The keeping up part is most likely due to the surprise element)

So either the driver did not know how to race (does not want to go faster than he can handle) or he did not care to. I am leaning towards former option since he clearly is not too knowledgeable about cars (given the "Skyline" comment).

 

Anything can happen, it really comes down to the driver, if the driver is in the wrong gear then that's their fault. I had a run in with a 650s before the supercharger, we went from 110-161 MPH, I was on the right and he was coming up fast on the left, once he was beside me, I WOT and walked him about 1.5 cars and got over into the left lane, by the time it was over I probably had 2-3 car lengths on him. Again it's really down to the driver, anything is possible.

 

If you want to be that technical, I'll agree with you. But if both drivers are competent, there should not be any room for doubt as to which car is faster.

 

pulling up old threads between us from back in the days doesn't equate butt hurt, then i dont know what is. Especailly you are calling me out on THIS thread where the RCF owner claimed 3 separate races from a dig against a light supercar that is superior by a mile in every criteria.

I know what the RCF is capable of, and heck I dream of it running faster. I am pretty sure i hold the fastest stockish (borla only) 1/4 time of 12.4 ON A PREPPED DRAG TRACK (no way on a street for that time), thats no where near the 10.6 sec 1/4 mile for the 650s. Forget a roll where traction is not an issue, the 650s would pull bus length against the RCF

 

My RC-F weighs in at 3860 if you're going to get all technical. LIKE I SAID, up to 30-40, you can keep up, a bugatti isn't going to get to 5mph faster than a Honda Civic, but it'll get to 150 well before. Second this reminds me of the GT-R, y'all get stuck on 0-60 times and not rolling times. The GT-R gets pounded during rolling times because that 0-60 is a trick using the trans to get off the line. It reminds me of oil, ohhh my oil has this and that, and then after real world testing it wasn't so this and that. Specs on paper are not always specs in real life.

The McLaren is RWD as well, it can have 10,000hp, won't mean a thing. After 600~ RWHP, rwd vehicles just burn rubber, that's why so many platforms are AWD, the power limitations don't come in until 1500hp~ where they then switch to drag specific tires.

RC-F 0-30 1.6
650S 0-30 1.3

.3 of a second difference to 30, that could easily be undone through a good launch on an RC-F.
