just noticed this thread....
I do not have internals...not sure why he posted that.
I just have 16g, exhaust, i/cs and softronic tune. I was running race gas during those runs.
He wants me to go to the drag strip on Friday. I know I will get crushed there...wish i had a torque converter!!

Thx man - it was a ALOT fun on the street. Consistent wins.
That black supra in one of my videos beat me before, when he was on DRs and I was on street tires. He launches so good ..... I needed a good launch to not fall behind at the start, I didn't have enough power to play too much catchup with him. His car was auto and on DRs so it was also very consistent on the street.
Ford GT with Pulley&Tune beat me from a roll (another mistake on my part lol). He wouldn't go from a stop since he knew he was going to lose, I just wanted to run a "cool" car.
I also lost to a mid 10 sec 1st gen AWD DSM at that same light, when my E55 was still stock.

my brother has an 05 E55. both of us are stock, his seems to pull just a little bit more violently. pretty good match overall but they both have their own strong suits. E55 is a hell of a car.
E55 is a heavy car. without driver my car weighed in at 4150 lbs at Englishtown Raceway.
you won't get crushed, but if you dont drag race much.....chances are he may win the drag race.

you are auto as well so it would be interesting to see a drag race at the track or the street. i never drove or raced someone with an auto Turbo. it is obvious that your car will trap higher then his. i would say 127ish for you and 123-124 tops for the E55.

I actually might be able to go. I've got an EARLY tee time on Saturday a.m. Are you going to Baytown or Sealy?

Be careful guys....you were blowing by traffic that was in the middle of the two of you.
It would be very easy for someone to move over into the right lane when they saw the Benz coming up hard in the fast lane.
I only go if the two far left lanes are completely clear.
