Had a chance to do a little roll race with a C43 AMG coupe today (we were either going entirely legal and safe speeds or we were on a closed course, I forget which). I was pleasantly surprised. I admittedly should have gone to third, not fourth, but regardless, he started early but I caught up and pulled door to door with him and was slowly edging ahead. He was even a good sport about it too, gave a thumbs up after and waved.

He was modified (catless exhaust from the smell) and who knows what else. My car is FBO, 93 octane strat tune.

Nice! I've always been interested to see what mods GTI's require to keep up with those C43'AMG's

I ran one over the winter with my is20, downpipe and jb4 sportwagen on 93 octane. I was able to pull on him twice and then he wouldn't line up again after that. I guess it does something to a man's ego when a wagon beats them.
