Based on the specs for the audi and that race I think it would put the supercharged rcf in the 0-60 time of mid 3's and 1/4 mile time of around mid to lower 11's... Opinions?

DUDE I do that too all the time, when I ever can. I did it to a Gallardo the other day and the driver just waved at me lol.

ditto asked a gallardo v10 owner for a quick pull on the highway 45 to a 100 he declined. And his car is orange, whats the point of buying a loud car like that.

I have going theories about this sort of thing...

-His insurance is already like 4 grand so he don't want to get caught again, lol (and anyone who has had to deal with speeding tickets, etc, knows its not hard to get insurance that costs $4000+, been there done that)

-It's mostly all about the vanity. I know guys that own really nice cars and don't even know how to use half the **** in the $80,000 car they just bought; all they care about is the image of the car and what they are "seen driving. " by others.

-The dude driving the car isn't actually the owner; is staff or a detailer of said car, and knows that if he got caught goosing the owners car he'd lose his job. Or the dude works at/for a dealer under the same conditions. (with all the GPS etc stuff out there its trivially easy to figure out if someone is goofing with your car)

-He's too worried about himself (or someone else) damaging the car in the process.

It is kinda funny though about 65% of the "really fast, nice looking" cars I see on the highways are usually just plodding along. Probably because of one of the above. Most of the cars I see hauling *** are everyday joe type cars, and occasionally you'll see a "duel" going on between sub 70K performance cars here and
there. (some of these guys are obnoxious and dangerous, and sometimes entertaining, lol)

I would have to agree. I would say mid 3s for 0-60 and mid 11s for 1/4 mile for his setup. YMMV based on full parts setup w/ SC kit. Definitely worth the extra $10k for the performance boost, IMHO.

My friend has a bmw m3 with a jb4 with dp's {500whp/500wtq] and he can do 155 in 1/2 mile with a lot less power. Why did they have to make the rcf so heavy because I really like my car otherwise..
Then you should go trade your rcf for a M3

Now now, he did say he likes his car otherwise. I personally would not compare an SC'd RCF to a modded M3 if I haven't even done either because it's completely different levels of ownership in terms of cost especially if anything breaks. Stock RC-F vs M3, plenty of reasons to enjoy the car so no need to compare what ifs.

I saw that video as well. I think that C7Z06 is heavily modded as it destroyed a Hellcat in similar fashion. See below.

Maybe, but the purple hellcat guy actually kept up with him for a long time, but at one point you could hear the wheel chirp here and there, not sure if it hit him again probably too loud to hear it. If the car can't lay down its horsepower well then it doesn't
matter how much juice is there. Not to mention a Hellcat weighs a LOT more pounds than a vette does, at least assuming both cars are stock.

Yea that's me, that white Z06 was modded, he ran a ~155 MPH vs 141 MPH in 1/2 mile. I gotta get that video of the brown Z06 up, but I have been busy with the recent events if you haven't check my instagram out.
