C55 vs. M5 vs. 996TT

So I had a run in with an M5 and a 996TT last night
poor guys had no idea what hit them, especially the guy in the 996TT...
he waited for me and when we took off this is what he said:
what the %$#k does this guy have under the hood...

at that moment all the mods and money were well worth it!

and for those of you out there contemplating whether or not to S/C the car,
Renntech or Kleenman, whatever, go for it! (and add the nos while your at it!)

I agree...that matchup and the result sounds like it's DEFINITELY worth it!

Nice Kills!!! So did you race both at the same time or were they separate races?

both at the same time but the M5 was left behind
me and the 996tt kept going for about 10 minutes...

poor guy... he had no idea and he was not cool about it either...

he was kinda bitter...

oh well

Fantastic kill story

I love this feeling too. We don't have that many C AMG here really, most are gentlemen C200 and C240; we have many Toyota 3/4 litre SUV/MPV and I bet they kill a lot of Cs and only until one day... they find their cars are not killing 'this one' any more...

I have the sytem set to go right to the intercooler...
If I was concerned with safety, I would have kep the car stock...
If you are refereing to the unit being safe, YES.
It won't explode...Self contained tank...
The unit is off alomst 90% of the time... It's not something I need everyday...
That's what the supercharger is for...

Hey, BennyZ what area of LA are you in? When I went into Meridian the other week to ask about the mods they offer for the C55 Matt, the person I spoke with was telling me about your car. He seemed very proud of the work they did on it.
