I just got back to NC from a trip down to Naples. On the way there I destroyed an older Charger. It was at least 3+ years old. It was dark and I didn't notice badges. But it was V8 for sure.

On my way back today I was able to make dozens of pulls against a new Mustang GT from 70mph+ into the deep triple digits. It still had the temporary license tag on it. I walked it every time. I'll try to get some dash cam footage. I don't think it was overwritten yet. We were together for at least 100 miles.

However, I let him in front of me a few times. Those new Mustangs are low and wide.

I get lot of looks and an Aston Martin DB9 tired to race me......give him the jump off the light, then mashed the gas and proceeded to pass him violently! Mind you, Im full bolt on and tuned. With headers+borla combo, my car is stupid loud. I had his wife second guess the action. He got embarrassed and didn't want to have fun thereafter. Oh well, another W for the F!!!

Well, a modded B8.5 S4 tried to race me from a dig in Mexico. My car was terrific in that it put the power down no problem, jumping ahead like I was the one on Quattro. I was really surprised. 11 inch tires sure did its job! In short, it was no contest. He gave up on third gear as I was 2 cars ahread. But I am not sure if it was tuned or not.

A lot of german car owners underestimate the RC-F because of what they read and see online. And Audi owners are no exception.

A new body mustang 5.0 with a (sounded like) straightpiped exhaust got on it down a long empty highway. i was able to pull him every time, to the point of letting him go first.

Two runs in the past two weeks:

1) 2017 SS Camaro, 440 HP - Absolute dead heat two times up to about 80. Neither car would pull or lag on the other. Stopped and chatted for a few afterwards.

2) 2016 Audi A7 - pulled on him three times from about 60 and slightly walked each time. Last one at 135 had about 3-4 lengths on him. Thumbs up at the end.

Thought the A7 was going to be a kill since it only has 340 hp and it is heavier than the rcf..

I've raced a brand new A7. I walked him by more than a few car lengths. It was more like bus lengths lol. Dude had no chance. Once I hit 130 I knew the gap was going to get significantly bigger. I think they are limited at 130.

This youtube video supports your story. Forward to 1:34 and you will see that they drag raced an RC-F with a mustang GT. The first part of the video even says the GT is *Tuned.

So today I was in the left turn lane to a freeway on-ramp, and a white MB AMG C63 pulled in the lane to the right of me to enter the same on-ramp. He nudged his car forward as if to say, "I'm first".

When the light turned green, We both hit the gas and even though I had a slight advantage being in the innermost lane, my RCF launched perfectly, rolled thru the gears and beat his *** onto the freeway

I could tell he was pissed because as I brought it down to an 80MPH cruise, he swiftly passed me and cut me off. LOLOL!

A win for the RCF!!

Why the doubts? Specs are comparable.
https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehic...s-C/model-C63C
469HP 4.0L V8 (TT) - 4000 lbs.

Proof positive. Snapped it as he was passing me. Apology?
