2006 E55 AMG

All MB had to do was give us a proper suspension with electronically adjustable shocks, instead they gave us some airbag bull**** that chollos use on their hoopties and el caminos.

Very interesting to see someone with a user name of AMG ETR on a MB Forum...lol. Nice car though, too bad it's being parted out. Ran a Turbo S roadster in a modded 512TR (straight pipes) and it was a beat down, great run though. Okay, now for the comparison with the EVOMS GT700 animal. According to that EVOMS GT700 guy's signature, it says that that car ran neck and neck with a RennTech SL600, both with QTR times of 11.25 seconds. Now, if I remember correctly, I believe some guy with a RennTech SL65 ran a very impressive time of around 10.85 seconds in the QTR. So DBerry, if you want to take down even the mighty GT700 in acceleration, give Hartmut Fehyl a call.

BTW, there are several GT700s that have run 10.x times. RTV12 would have a MUCH faster ET but for the fact that he runs at one of the slowest tracks in the county (in the middle of the Arizona desert).

When we go at it on the street I destroy him by about 6 or 7 car lengths. ET doesn't mean as much as trap speed on the street. He traps at 126 I trap at 136, find me a Benz that does that.
Edit: Are those hp figures the rwhp data from the dyno, or are they converted figures?

There are many, many modified Porsches that will kill AMG cars in a straight line and many modified AMG cars that will do the same to Porsches.... so what! We should appreciate all of them.

Nice kill.
Hmmm I remember a stock 55 on giggle gas (a $500 mod) runs in the 10's ala DerekFSU. Not bad for a luxury 4 door. Considering the amount of cash spent on mods to the above mentioned Pcars most would expect lower ET's. But most of us know a Pcar is not a great 1/4 toy. If it's used for the street that's one thing, but for the +$50k spent in mods for the Pcars I would rather own a pure track car. I would put a little 944 known as "Flipper" (selling for $40k) up against any of them at the track (buttonwillow, willow springs) any day of the week.

A guy writes about one race he won against a Porsche & a couple of posters come out & start writing nonsense about MB in an MB website, & you don't think that's being a troll? Fact is fact
