First Green Light Race - E55

I know it wasn't fair, but it sure was fun.
This was the first time somebody wanted to race from a stand still. It was a new VW GTI VR6. The guy was weaving in and out and I just putched it to get to the light. Then he raced to catch me at the light. He revved his engine then the light turn green. 0-5 or 0-10 we were even ( until the chirp of my tires stopped) and then it was lights out. It is so funny to actually be able to see the other cars in my rear view mirror. In my GS400, I was never able to beat any car so bad that I could see them in my mirror. He was about 7-10 car lengths back by the time I was 60-70. I know it wasn't fair, but it was my first street light race.

04 E55

Nice kill, but my 01 acura could beat a VR6. You should find a HPA Stage I R32 (400hp) to run with.

Thanks to all. I know it wasn't fair, but its hard to find somebody who wants to take a shot at the E55. Today a new CLK 55 AMG try to pass me several times, but I didn't let him. It wasn't a race because he was behind me, but his car seemed pretty quick.
