Agree, I owned both cars too, The E55 would win hands down. The guy may have been in manual mode? Better to leave it in auto when dragging.

Dmoney, you may have "won" once (not sure what the MB driver was doing) but I find it interesting that you think your car is faster. There are people here (including myself) who have owned both cars (mine, a 997S - lighter than yours) and we're telling you your car is not faster.

It's fine that you'll "race anyone". But to continue thinking your car is faster than the MB or M car is just silly.

Notice how he stopped posting... interesting, maybe he finally raced a real E55 and not an E320 with a AMG badge on it

Mane some of you guyz are really hardcore...I really like that about this forum...It's great to see all you guys get heated up over just speed & spec's. I just told you a story about a race I had with a E55 and some cars that I'd like to take a stab at in the future. I didn't know it was a case of young and the restless with some of you. Look, when racing in the streets anything is possible, could be the driver, the road conditions, the wheather conditions, traffic, fake badges, your ***** itching I dont know anything could affect the outcome of a race in the streets, even a C4S beating up on a E55 or a M5. I don't really care about what's published, it's about what happens, and what happened here is that 55 got pimp slapped...thats it, mabye tommorrow the E55 may beat me, what I'm trying to say is, anything is possible, even for some of you to understand just that.

P.S. I was in overdrive....

are you saying your car is also tiptronic? and in the case of fake badges as you just stated, thats not a real race with a the car we are discussing...

ill just sum it up for you:

you thought you were racing an E55... he wasn't racing

TREAD CLOSED!

I know these 2 cars are close in numbers but the P-car just kept on a-pullin. I want a AMG63 on the next one think it may be closer though...any thoughts on vs. AMG63 matchup
That sounds like a race to me... and no the numbers aren't close

-- Horsepower:
355hp vs. 469hp.... not close

-- Torque:
295lbs vs. 516lbs... thats a joke...

-- Weight:
3500lbs'ish vs. 3990lbs..... not enough to make up the HP and lbs/tq difference

You're just wrong here DMoney but nothing written will make you believe your 997 C4S is the most superior car out there... enjoy your imagination dude

im done with you dude...
