I was cruising on the highway last night at dusk with my camera and an M3 blows by my at WOT from just behind me... I step on it and match his speed almost instantly but then he lets off and falls back.... next thing you know he's coming out of nowhere and pulls the chepest flyby I have ever seen.... funny thing is.. I held up pretty well against it... as you can see I was gaining untill that last gear without O/D stopped me and I had to reach down and turn it off so when I turned it off I took a last video to show you that my measly automatic 2V can indeed topend an M3....I don't knwo the specs on them and never lined up with them but the way it unraveled if it wasn't a flyby he would have been toast IMO


this video will answer 2 questions that have been floating around the forums.... the 2V's top speed and how 4.10's really don't affect it, and it will disprove alot of people questioning my kill stories that I top end some cars that I really shouldnt on paper

man that guys a *****

so he wouldnt even line up?

racing while holding the camera.. that cant be safe but hey atleast u showed him u can drive better than him with 1 hand

 

To bad you lacked the power to pull him when I passed you... God I love them instant reel ins where they only manage to get their nose in front of your car. Then you naturally proceed to lay the smack down upon them by pulling a few cars.

 

How the hell do you always end up with the best racers and against the best people to race lol. My stories are always lame.

 

it was an 00 M3 with 333 fly HP, not a civic or something that your used to doing flybys

 

Do you really think I didn't see that? You where pretty lucky you're modded, or he would have killed you...

I am just saying people like that deserve a smackdown... If you want to race, race fair... Flyby's suck. Unless you are flying because you need to get somewhere in a hurry...

 

yeah the reason I posted it is to prove paper dosn't really matter.. I posted kill stories in the past of me taking 5.7 GTO's and Magnum RT's by 3rd or 4th gear when they got a car on me off the line

some people called BS because they have alot more HP than me on paper, for the record I had 245RWHP/260TQ... and that is enough to even out a 333FHP car flyby and definitely kill him from a stop IMO

 

Thank you! Not really how this myth got started. But 4.10's will NOT affect top end final speed and certainly won't affect top end pull. In fact, it's just the opposite. It will improve top end pull.

only way 4.10's will limit top speed is if someone is putting down 525+ hp to wheels. then you'd top out at a measly 180mph instead of 184mph with the 3.55 gears. any hp less than that, and 4.1 will always give you better top speed.

 

You live in a dream world. That hp with your weight is about a 100mph trap speed. Give or take 1mph or so. Its weaksauce. Trap speed is what determines how you do from a roll. Right now I will bet a well driven S2000 will scare you from a rolling punch. I used to think my car was the **** too on the street until I took it to the track. Found out I was racing people who werent trying, lmao.

Update on my car: Going LS1, 'nuff said.

 

because an M3 going 75 to my 55 and passing me like that and taking it up to 150+ isn't trying... [&:]

if I live in a dreamworld it must be real as **** then... I hope I never wake up

EDIT: before you bitch... yeah I was cruising at 55MPH when he did that flyby, so my 55 to his 75-80 and made up for it in no time at all
