I had an E55 and a 997C2S and the E55 would take the C2S from any speed above 60mph. Probably pretty close from a standing start though.

i got dusted by an E55 in my 3.4 C2 when it was stock. i've since added an evo sc, full fabspeed exhaust and low mass fly wheel. raced an E55 last year and slowly walked away from him at 140+. i was doing about 70 when he came up next to me and stomped on it. he waited for me to get out of traffic and we started racing at about 100. i was on his tail and finally passed him at 140+. not sure if he lost his nerve.

3 lanes making left i was in the right lane & still beat him on my left. granted it wasn't a S but i was about a car ahead (expected. no surprise). he just didn't have the torque to play. u must be pretty good or the guy wasn't trying to play. i've had them all. u can't pull away from E55 unless he lost traction. that's an unbiased statement.
