Nice vid. I for one was very impressed by the Cobra (great sounding engine), especially since it was the non-charged version, and had one more passenger than the E55. I'll bet that Cobra, with equal passenger weight, would give a stock E55 a good run.

11.25 @ 129.45 mph.... that's AMAZING When you get that close to 10 does it not keep you up at night trying to figure out how to shave off that last .25 ?????

You race something substantially cheaper you should win. A Corvette should be able to beat a Cobalt just as easily as you beat the Cobra. Go find a bigger fish.
How about the new M5? Price range is about =. Forget it, you wouldn't attempt it, why? You wouldn't want to be embarrassed. Don't worry thats what most drivers think.

I'd race anyone- I've lost before and I'll do it again. Wouldn't attempt it? My personal best 11.25 run on video and posted here was against a 10.00 camaro, wake up.
As for the M5, I've been #2 on the M5 waiting list with Gabe at Rallye BMW (Long Island, NY) for 14 months. It may beat a stock E55 but it has no chance against mine, but still I'm getting one and will take it straight to the track.

I did not know that, good luck. What colour combo have you choosen.Owner impression is so far very posetive, I am sure you will enjoy it.... a lot
Its gonna be exiting to see what times you will get.
The M5`s little sister the M6 is running very fast times in Europe. 0-125 mph varies from 12,8 sec to 13.1 sec and clearly beats the F575M in straight line during a comparisson test just recently.
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=55421
The only 1/4 time I have seen was 12,2@ 121mph.
The M5 has the same engine but 100 kg more weigth, so it is a bit slower.

When AMG owners win they feel good that the power of the vaunted AMG has prevailed. If they lose to say, an EVO for instance, they have the convenience of claiming, "Well at least I go home in my AMG, that guy merely has a Mitsubishi" :p You can't lose...its great!

I always win...because I have an AMG and they don't. Case closed!

I mean, for ****'s sake, if you won't ban this guy, who will you ban??
Will somebody please explain why the forum is even moderated if trolls are going to be allowed to have free run of the damn things?
I started a new thread in the suggestions and feedback forum. Would appreciate any feedback any others have to offer. Click here:
