I've made contact with dmoney and we are going to race later this week - I want to make sure my nephew is available to 1) video this for all to see and 2) bring his 450 HP 2,200# Noble GTO 3-R to show us both what quick really is! He's driven my C2S and thinks it's a slug and an "old mans car" He's 26; i'm 56 so maybe he's right

dmoney,

If you aren't posting about putting 21" wheels on your 911 "cause 20s look too small", or beating E55s and M5s with your lowered, but stock hp, 997C4S, you just aren't happy, are you?

I have driven a 997 C2S multiple times, and have owned 2 E55s. The first point of clarification is that MB rates the E55 at 469hp - which is simply wrong. All the 55s make 500hp, give or take. The E55 is the fastest stock 55 car because it is the lightest (spare the CLK DTM and SLR). Secondly, while anything is possible on the street, and hey there may be some reason that this race actually happened the way you said it, the point I think most people have issue with is you aren't giving much credibility to the fact that if it did happen, it was a complete and utter fluke. Your car cannot beat E55s or M5s given that things are equal and the race is legitimate. Period.

Hey Marcus, didn't know you hang out here (i'm cte430 from MBworld). Yeah, we've all tried to talk sense into this guy but he won't listen. I saw the post about the wheels, too LOL

I remember when I posted at MBworld when I got my C2S and Rock posted "the hunter has now become the hunted" LOL!

Dmoney if somehow your car is not one hundred percent or you don't have the right gas octane at the time of the race I can understand a loss but at least post after the race. Good luck which I am guessing you don't need.

Aloha

Hey Chris, good to see you. I've been on the 6 for while but recently started getting really serious about a 997TT. Will be waiting out the winter and making the move come spring, if I actually decide on one.

by the way dmoney there is no E65... its an E63, which is actually slower then a E55 as proven in the videos i previously posted, which you said you watched... you dont comprehend things too well do you?

Its also funny how this post of your (along with MANY others) have been edited and although this one was edited you failed to edit your "E65" error...
