Guest INASNT Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I doubt the old retired guy who would have been the owner could give a toss about traffic light grand prix's!!

Merli Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 errr dunno how but I beat one last night at a TLGP...not teh fly by either... He was probably using 1st gear, 10% throttle and thinking to himself: "Look at that kid in his $15,000 car trying to race me I'm going to go home, sip on some $5000 cognac, smoke a $2000 cigar and make love to my 18 year old nubile young wife" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/44214-bentley-continental-gts/#findComment-903576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corse Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 My old man went shopping for a conti GT... they are ****ing cheap at around $280k from memory (note, an Arnage T is around $600k). They are majorly pimpin... but handle like a fridge on a cloud of air and they aint that quick at all. I'd guess a low 13 1/4 mile. Too slow for his liking, so he picked up a cheaper, and a helluvalot faster AMG E55 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/44214-bentley-continental-gts/#findComment-903596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CerealKiller Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 I doubt the old retired guy who would have been the owner could give a toss about traffic light grand prix's!! was actually a youngish guy (mid to late 20's) I heard his induction noise and engine starting to roar. even if he wasn't full throttle he still lost teh TLGP...

CerealKiller Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 nothing can compare the latest model - 350Kw i believe? from factory .. yummm isn't that a DTM model which is purposely powered up and lightened for track work?

Chunks Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Your victory means nothing. If you've seen one actually trying to go fast it would make your panties bunch up.

DB350Z Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I thought the car when running economy the Turbo were shut off. When pressing the Sport mode the turbo is activated. I watched this on Top gear review and i think this is how it goes.

I watched this on Top gear review and i think this is how it goes. You've just described all turbo cars off boost. The Continental GT is one of those superdooper cars like a Murcielago or Vanquish - sounds like a Supermarine Spitfire on the road. T.
