Default This Audi R8 in the AM!

Ok guys I love my mustang its only a V6 but its my first stang and I am working on making it a very fast V6. But this R8 does this to me everyday for the past week I think he works around my job because its been the same time everyday when he blows past me and he does it on purpose because he then slows down and drives next to me all the way to where I get off the highway to go to work.... What would I have to put into my car to beat him I am guessing its out of reach for me to do it but I really want to know what I could do to beat this thing other than to tap his rear as he passes me

That thing is rated at 420 hp so it would take alot to be able to keep up with it plus I don't know but it looks pretty light. Those are nice rides but yeah it isn't right for him to do that shi! every day.

Those cars START at 114,000 dollars. For that price, I would expect it to be faster than a lot of cars on the road. I would suggest nitrous, turbo or supercharger, and anything else you can do.

And if all else fails....slash his tires just kidding don't do it.

Is it ironic that as I am replying to this the banner ad at the top of the screen is a picture of an R8? The very least that you could do is a supercharger and a pulley upgrade. Its gonna take a bit. I suggest taking a page outta the CHiP's handbook and execute a well timed pit maneuver! Nah...I don't really condone violence on America's roadways...its fun to imagine tho!

You need to smash him off the road when he pulls up next to you if you want to beat him. That R8 would easily eat a modified Cobra, never mind a V6.

A r8 runs the 1/4 in mid 12's at 115 mph or so. there are v6 mustangs that can beat that. Not that racing down the highway is a good idea.

hes a bully,to beat hil you would need a good amount of boost in a v6.something to get your rwhp in the 400 range,plus youd need to upgrade tranny parts,internal engine rods and pistons,probaly even the block.i doubt v6s could handle more than 350 to the wheels.forget him,one day hell do that little show,next you know he'll be pulled over with a piggie at his little doors

these cars are also all wheel drive so forget about chasing him thru turns. You can always build a car that is faster then another in a drag race....you just have to be willing to spend the cash...GA

You could spend a bunch of money and make one bad ass six...Go on youtube and look up some of those v6 mustangs. I mean **** theres one with over 600 hp(yea that guy got a alot of work done to it but it sounds like a bad out of hell v8 is the funny thing i was impressed!). Correct me if i'm wrong but as parnelli Jones would always say HP sells cars.. Torque wins races! Or simple solution..Just leaver earlier so he misses u lol

Oh another suggestion besides modding the motor putting liek twin turbo kit on or superchargers.. you can always upgrade gears.. best bang for the buck just about.. It will definatelly increase your acceleration, but will decrease gas milage some. or just like nos 500 bucks tap that bottle and u smoke his ass he wont even no what hit him lol
