E55 (211) v. 997S

from mymbonline:


raced an e55 to 140+, we started at around 80 and went up to 140 or so twice. both times same result. he started behind me (very trafficky for some ****in reason tonight :hmm: ). at around 100 he would move over for a pass.......... and it never came :clap: . he would pull about 1/2-3/4 a car(to my rear ) and just stay there :dunno:
i was just as surprised as he was :rofl:

after the second run he pulled over one lane and we slowed to about 50 (this is in the left most and one over lanes :rofl: :rofl: :ohnoes: ) and had a little chat. we gave each other a :thumbup: and then he was like (same facial expression too :rofl: ) do you have on that thing? i said, no mufflers and kinda :dunno: . he asked what it was and i said S. his face again: , :clap: . i told him to go to mymbonline. (had to repeat it like 3 times, but he got it in the end :thumbup: ) hopefully he logs on and we can set up some more runs :thumbup: he was a younger dude, i was kinda surprised when he was still on it at 130+ b/c most e55 owners wouldnt do that unless there are no cars around, so that explains it.

I think that proves your moms E55k is a healthy little bastar*(or the E55k you ran had problems) I've ran (3) P-cars like yours w/deff edge going to C6, I know you said yours is lighter perf model, but I ran 1 of the races w/my buddy who is a giant 245lbs bodybuilder as a passenger, we still easily walked the 997C4S We need to run bro! P-car time!!

BTW nice kill!!

my car is a little lighter. the 4s is 4wd. mine is a 2s, 2wd. less weight and drivetrain loss. i also have no mufflers, lighter wheels and just threw in an airbox (http://www.mymbonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2522). should be a good race.

would you be down to hit up el mirage dry lake bed?
a few people are down to run, slk55, cls63(2), moded evo (im not sure if they would be willing to go to el mirage, but ill find out). i think all these cars are so close that we would need to run up to 150+ to get a clear picture
