    Driving home yesterday, this car hauls ass up behind me. So I get on it and pu@t like 5 cars on him instantly. I see him flashing his headlights so I slow down.

    Round 2
    He honks 3 times and I let him go first, this is from a 20ish roll. I go WOT and blow his doors off horribly. Again, I see two white dots in my rear view flashing. So I go to turn down the street to my home and he makes a right turn from the left lane to follow me. I roll down my window and say "What's up". He asks me what I had and I told him a supercharger and some other junk. He says "not bad" and I wave and pull off. We get to a light, I'm behind him now, and when it goes green he squeels his tires a tiny bit and takes off. I floor it spinning horridly. Soon as I caught traction I had to slow down because I almost rear ended him. He started going around these turns so I stopped and went home.

    I feel kinda bad because I just looked and seen that they are 15 second cars, he thought his was fast for some reason.....

    I also still have yet to debage my car of its GT badges........

    My friend was looking at the TT 1 series bimmer the other day and was like that is sweet. I was like look at how small the tubos are and the little hp it's making. For the price you'd pay for that, I could put way less into mine and make the bimmer look like a ford festiva. A 1 series on top of that. Oh and it was a 3.0 with maybe 300 horses.

    I like C230 Komps...

    a neighbor of mine had one and allowed me to drive it a few times. He was an older guy. They feel incredibly fast... but that makes sense they run 15's. They have roughly the same HP output as us.

    yes, they do, they felt fast

    Roller Coasters feel fast too, but really you are only going 50-60 mph in them

    a supercharged C230 Kompressor doesn't accelerate quickly???

    My Father's 68 Camaro accelerates very fast at the start as well, but it is still slow in the quarter mile. It feels "fast."

    Well if it runs 15's it obviously doesnt acceleration all that quickly and certainly doesnt feel "INCREDIBLY" fast. Dont get me wrong, theyre no slouch, but theyre by no means fast.

    Yea its pretty much the most insane thing you will ever ride other than a top fuel dragster or fighter jet. Waited 3 hours in line for the front row and worth every second.
