You beat a 335i you THOUGHT you couldn't beat. If you had stayed with that assumption, you would have NEVER known you could beat him.
Watch the Motortrend 1/4 mile race again, That damned GTR beat cars costing almost 4 times as much and the GT-3 (2011 model with 450 HP) only did a 11.9 at 120 MPH, so no, you would NOT be THAT far behind. http://www.wimp.com/dragrace/

Now, that's what I am talking above ^^^. So what if you lose. Run him anyway and see what happens. If he's a stick , he could miss a shift etc etc. Anything could happen.

All of my runs are done on a secluded SAFE road. No worries

That's the 415 HP 997 so you may actually give him a decent run, particularly if he's not a good shifter or misses one while rowing the gearbox!! I'd say he wins, BUT give it the old college try!! Its generally a 12.1-12.5 car at about 115-117 MPH qtr mile. ON a 50 degree day, I'd be right on his a**.

I don't think the OP used the term kill, BUT what he did is possible. Probable, NO, possible, yes. Maybe he got the jump on the guy, who knows. He's a long time poster and I have no reason to disbelieve him.
Like I said in my post above, on any given day, any car can be beat (within reason) for many factors that go into a race. I outpulled a twin snail C5 Vette a few years back by about 2 cars on a launch and then he just kicked my *** and reeled me in. Yes, I got beat, BUT I gave him a helluva run. Again, anything's possible and I don't doubt this unless it was a rebadged 6 Series he was racing??
OH, XXAARAA, looks at his mods. He's got a LOT more than an ECU Flash and headers. His mods probably make him close to 400 RWHP. See: Resonator delete, Green Air Filters, New ECU Reflashed Powerchip tune, Code 3 Pulley, Phenolic Spacers, SL 55 Y-pipe conversion, secondary cat delete, RZR Tuning Stainless Steel Headers
I notice that some of the haters are non-AMG MB guys. A lil jealousy going on here perhaps??

If my car was making only 60% of it's actual power, I wouldn't be able to beat a C 32 stock...

From the dyno results I've seen around this place, I wouldnt say the C32's around here that's 8-9 years old has lost 60% horsepower. With great maintenance, I doubt you'll ever lose as much as 60%.
