MKV R32 vs Acurat TL and BMW 330ci

[WakeHead]

Pulled up next to 2nd Gen TL (not a Type S) with two guys. It had been lowered, but that's about it. His car made a lot of noise but I had him by 3 or 4 car lengths at 60mph.

Headed home later, I had been messin w/ a new BMW 650i through traffic on the Parkway, but wasn't going crazy since its pretty much cop central there. Then this last gen 330ci pulls up to me (looked stock). So we went at it from the next light. I had put the DSG into 'S' and wasn't pushing it all the way. But at 50mph which is the speed limit, I had him by over a car length. He backed off with his tail between his legs. His girl was with him. :laugh: I also think the roar of my exhaust intimidated him.

Of course, once I slowed up the 6 that had been behind me blew past. But I aint messing with him. Although, maybe next time since it wasn't an M.

Well, that will be enough for me for awhile. I put the R back in the garage and I'll drive the GTI VR6 the rest of the week.

I didnt know they had a 635.

I would really like to run a stock R32.

Good kills though.

there might be 635's in europe but not in us:iono:

R32 ftw

 

[Si Killer]

he must be speaking of a 645, which should able to beat you by a few car lengths

Sorry, new 6 series. 650i to be exact. 5.0L V-10 I believe, but maybe that's the M6. The old ones I grew up with were all 635s. I knew enough not to mess w/him.

does the 650 have a 5.0l v-10? i thought the m6 had a 5.0l v-10 and the 650 is essentially a 2006 645ci, they just changed the name because they tuned the engine a bit for a few more horsepower. i could be wrong though

Your right. V-8 not V-10...

From BMW on the 650i...
"A heart-pounding launch to 60 mph in a mere 5.3 seconds*, fired by a 4.8-liter V-8 engine"

But 0-60 in the 5s, I might have a chance with a new intake and exhaust.

Now the M6...uh no.
"Powered by a 5.0 liter V-10 engine capable of generating 500 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, the BMW M6 Coupe can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds*. "

not to speak of accelerating from 60 mph to ....speeds our cars wont go )

 

[hyukki]

How fast are R32's stock 0-60?

Right now Motor Trend is the only mag with a true test...0-60 in 5.8 seconds. But it was a Eurospec 4 door. The US 2 door is a little lighter. And our DSG 'S' gearing is more aggressive which is what I use off the line. So I'm thinking its a little bit better than that. Maybe 5.6...
