Almost got my ass kicked...... AGAIN
Discussion
I'm not having much luck, 1st the E55 AMG and just on a spirited drive towards Crewe a Bentley Continental GT (Brand new).
Gorgeous looking car and sounded nice too, so anyway he leathers it from about 60mph and then i leather it although i'm 5 or 6 car lengths behind to begin with as i was dordling at first i think hes pulling but i dont think he is things just seem to stay static
Think i was catching up towards 120-130 but cant be sure we let off at 145, so i'm unconvinced by the vette again what do i need to do.... start picking on Novas
Havent got many specs on the beast but www.supercars.net quote
550bhp
675ftlb
Paddle Shift 6 speed and 0-60 in 4.8

Try picking on someone your own size, preferably with less than 450bhp as you're at least 100bhp short and their torque figures make yours look like a Ford Escort. LOL. Hell, if I'd just spent £160,000 and was beaten by a C5, I'd be taking it back!

Oooooof! With these high power cars speeds get very high very fast. I think it's best to remember the Vette is priced with Boxsters and the like rather than take on the big boys! And if you're going to take on a TVR then a damp surface tends to swing the balance of power in the direction of the Vette!

Yer i am giving myself some tricky opponents i suppose but god dam it i have 5.7 litres Its just a shame the other opponents have supercharges or turbo's added.
