a 996tt tried to have a bit of fun with me tonight

was driving up white oak ave. and i look over and theres a 996tt next to me.
he flexes on me a bit. so i do back . but i had a car in front of me. plus im only at like 90 miles. i cant open her up yet. oh well would have been fun to see how i would have done. i need a 1000 miles to come sooner.

That kind of stuff is killer in the first grand. So much discipline is required. Anyway, congrats on finding that discipline.

I think others just like to entice you when you have that temp tag. *******s.

Believe or not, my 30 years experienced MB car repair shop friend tried my C55 yesterday. I was surprised he was so gentle . I told him its done 4000km its time to ride it hard. He said, "no, wait until 6000km , change the oil, then start to have fun". He also mentioned that a component of the Tranny will wear out quick for high power car like C55, but it is replaceable.

Everything is replaceable, we only need good health to enjoy it. :P

Hopefully that 911tt will miss shift and u will say bye-bye for short while.

You need a modded 911TT to keep up with me on the straights. Went to the track for the second time in my life the other day and I was running in the 11's. Our cars rock!

04 E55 where are you getting the OEM LSD... i think i wanna do that to my C55, also perhaps the price, and anything you know about it, how it differs from Kleemann's 60percent. Thanks in advance

04E55 - What elevation did you run the 11.9? Is your car stock?

Have Kleemann K2 like you without LSD. Since I live in MD, elevation is about 300 above sea level. Should be able to run 11.8 or high 11.7's when I get better at launching. My buddy who has EVO Stage 2 ran a 11.8 that same day.

My trap speeds averaged about 120 all day.

OEM AMG LSD is a 30% lock and Kleemann 60% lock. Do a review on this on the E55 forum and you will get tons of info on the subject.
