Renntech Stage 5 G Wagon.....Global Thermonuclear War!!!

Weird thing is, I was at the dealer as this beast was getting the air box on. It's just an incredible machine with a sound 2nd to none. All the sales guys were telling how this thing can smoke all 4's. I know it was this guy on the highway as he has these wild custom pipes out both sides.

Anyway, we play in traffic and I know we are both thinking the same thing, "Come onnnnnn redlight....come onnnnnn". Then BAM, we get one.

I am sitting here thinking, how awesome can this be??? Lining up next to a Renntech Stage 5 G Wagon.

On green, of course the mighty G gets the jump but only 1/2 car as I am ready for him. I have to admit, a stock E55 might not have made it against this guy. Would have been realllll close, but this guy just wasn't ready for what I had and turned off the road after. I only wished I could have had the windows down so I could hear it roar. I COULD hear the blower through the windows and that was cool.

It was cool, I know we both came away saying the same thing, "***** is that thing fast"

Not even sure I would call it a kill. More a brother to brother arm wrestling match. E brother won.
