Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

Did you see the turbo?


Looked like a 3.6L manual where the guy didnt launch right or shift right. As i dont know why that engine would have turbo lag, it wasnt built for a turbo and there should have been plenty of down low power on the 3.6L

And thats looks what the 305 HP v6 Camaro would do aginst a G6 3.5L

Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

I test drove the V6 and the V8 camaro before buying the G8. And for a V6 the camaro was pretty quick. I don't see him having a turbo on that though.

Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

not sure if i ever said this....i lost to an old beat up minivan.
to justify that, sometimes i forget im driving using the autostick, because i naturally drive off in 2nd gear (got a lead foot, so this helps prevent speeding)
well this kid wanted to race me in his van, and i of course forgot i was using the stick....forgot to shift, by the time i was in 2nd or 3rd gear he was already pretty far ahead

Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

This was unintentional... at first. Everyday, after a stressful day at work, I drive home and I give the G6 a workout. At every stop, I give it heavy gas (pedal a little more than halfway down but not enough to chirp the tires.) to hear my engine kicking. So seeing me do that, some guy in a pickup truck that I didnt even see pulls up next to me. The red light we stopped at turns green and I hear his engine open up. I, for some reason, didn't get on the gas hard at all as I looked to the side. I saw the old, rusty, single cab garbo can and I'm like, "oh heck no." I punched it and the torque launched me infront of him about half a car length. Well, when he was almost out of 2nd gear and going into third, the horsepower of V6 (chevy) or V8 (all other) trucks really kicks in and he left me with my foot almost in the floor. I didn't really expect my 2.4 to even hang with the first gear of a pickup the way it did but even after that, I was still impressed with my 6. Can't wait to get a tune, dual exhaust, and an intake to see how much that throttle response increases lol.

I do not support street racing, however, some people have to be put in the rear view mirror at times.

It happens when caught off gaurd!

Just think if that truck is a real rust bucket and is from the eairly 80s, your 2.4L prob has as much or more HP then it does!

Oh trust me, very soon my 2.4 is going to have a lot more HP than a lot of local vehicles here. When I have enough money to finish my exhaust and get a tune, its night night to anything thats stock v6 and under. Funny thing is it had caked on dirt and when he punched it, a cloud of black smoke, that looked like a blatant violation of EPA emissions laws, came out. Truck won't last much longer on its last leg with that going on LOL.

The black smoke means it was probably a diesel son.

Not only a diesel, but heavily modded too. Probably intake, exhaust, bigger fuel pump, and a programmer. For you to keep up with a diesel in first gear is nothing. Diesels 1st and 2nd gears are basically nothing and just hop.

Yeah my buddy has an 06 Ford F-250 Turbo diesel with and intake, exhaust, fuel pump, programmer and a bigger turbo. It sounds beastly and puffs that black smoke!

Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

i was cruising down a 2 lane road just minding my own, and this Rav4 came up on me and was like a hemroid. they had several chances to pass me and go on but just kept riding me really close, so when he did decide to go i "wasn't going to let him around i mean it's a rav 4. we were at 35mph and i punched it and well i got left in the dust, i thought my car was feeling sluggish the past few days but maybe not, i havn't played with the manual shit option that much maybe that would have made a difference

Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

Re: Official embarrassing G6 loss race thread

I was on the 10/5 interchange freeway heading to csu los anglees with my music crank to the fullest. the entire way this asshole in a 2012 911 gts was acting like speed racer, I paid him no attention, I was switching lanes as I always do to get to the campus faster. and I'm good at it because I've been doing it a while. SOOO anyways he gets left in the dust by my superior traffic tetris skillz and I guess takes that as a challenge. once he does catch up to me we head for the same 10 freeway exit that was coming up. I accelerate and beat him out for a lane change. i GUESS at this point this guy is fuming and foaming at the mouth with anger at my superior driving skill. he puts his 911 into what had to be 2nd gear at 60-70mphand BLOOOWWWWSSSS BY ME completely drowns out my music which was at full blast to the point where i couldn't even hear anything but his engine. what an asshole he's overcompensating for something...i wonder what
