Honestly... I was surprised too.
When we "met" coming from 2 off ramps which joined into a 3 laned road, I said to my 2 passengers: "OK guys, this time Iīm done"
(until this day, I havenīt met a faster car on the streets, willing to play)
In the first try, he started accelerating a little bit earlier from 2nd, and in 4th gear I was starting to catch up, but there was not enough space on the road because of cars in front...
Amazing sound what comes out of the AMG tailpies during shifts. They run impressively aggressive ignition cut/retard settings wiht the double clutch gearbox for being OEM.
2 junctions later, we managed to be in the first lane side by side, so we had a standing still start.
We left off at the same time, 2nd gear already 1 length, and after putting it int 4th, he was backwards ar. 3 car lentghs!
And yeah.... i was like
OMG, that was amazing
.
NOTE: AMG has 360 hp and 7-speed double clutch tranny
After stopping at the next lights, I couldnīt hold myself back saying to him "Your carīs quite quick"
Iīm sure that guy didnīt understand the world how a car 1/3rd of the price and nearly half the power left him behind, at least that was how his face looked like as he just said, with a forced smile: "mhm..." haha...
However to be fair, he didnīt use the launch control, but on the other hand he was 2 persons in total while I had 2 passengers being 3 -ups.
Just to clarify, this was NOT with the OEM 300 hp 400 Nm settings, but with 1.5 bar of boost and a expected 340 hp.
However, still FULL stock engine (even with TGVs still in place), OEM N/A exhaust muffler etc. etc.
So plenty of room for more.
Side note:
2 days ago I DID finally meet the first car faster.... itīs a GC8 with around 430 whp.....
Summary:
DIT IS different than typical SC kit
