Had another argument with an M6...
Ran into another M6 on the freeway. This one was a convertible. Late night in Mexico.
He started the argument. Three honk at 40. We took off. He got the jump, but I was able to reel him in and at about 90, I started to creep away. Slowly...but was able to creep away. Went up to about 140 before I stopped. He kept going, probably because he was pissed.
After that, he slowed down and wanted a rematch. Same start...same result. A good night need. And for all you naysayers who say it isn't possible...it is.
Let the flame war begin.

When we used to go to Morrocco, one of the guys had a M6 convertible and I too like the above ^^^ could hang right with him till about 110 when he really started pulling on me. A modded C32 can really surprise a LOT of people. The C32 is like a sharp surgical knife whereas the Kleemann is more like Thor's Hammer. Truly different cars.
As an aside, the one thing that really slows the C32/55 classes if you will is the trans. I believe that with a better trans (7 or 8 speed SMG/DSG type) we could take a lot of cars. The slushboxes we have just dont really cut it. Porsche really has their auto down with the TT.

So, when they call you out, you race them!! Its that simple. I fear NO car and will race anything. I may get beat, I may not. He could blow a rod or his drivetrain (see that M3 video posted here last week) on the launch and guess who wins?? I mean there's obvious limits to anything, I am not going up against a 997.2 TT or a Veyron, BUT anything can be fair game. Have you guys ever seen Jake's white E55? Its a gorgeous car and is such a debadged sleeper. He's beaten Lambos with that thing. Who would've thought?? He wouldn't know he could beat a Lambo unless he had raced one.

C32/C55 AMG
Make sure you use the 55k intercooler, should help with the flow. Are you running cams? Any plans for ported heads? I think jerry's old car made less power because the supercharger was not boosting enough.

as for the IC, i must use the c32 IC on the 55komp for fitting issue, i have looked for everything(550cc injector, 55k amg tanks,...) by the way C32 IC has 95% same dimensions as 55k one.

good kill
fwiw:
I was only half car lentgh behind a e90 m3 from 60 - 135+
we were neck and neck the whole way.. I was so surprised
Also, took an m6 in a stoplight race up til like 80...
and im stock with res delete and coilovers only.
Anythign can happen.. and i think the c32s up top are stronger than people realize.

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??
