Scorched a 12.5 1/4mile in my E55 [VIDEO]
I shall remain cautious with details, but this was my first trip to the track after 2 months work at modding. My goal is to beat a Viper GTS.

Thats a very good time, but I am most impressed with the terminal speed.
Please do list your mods. Edit: I see you have your mods listed in your sig.
It must be a little dissapointing to know that stock your Suzuki will Murder your E55 in the 1/4 mile. And for about $2000 will hit +200 mph.

Autostream Quote: stock, mine ran 13.6 @ 106mph
there's a link in my sig.?.?.?
I hope you are referring to your E55, because your Suzuki Hayabusa should run 1/4mile in about 9.9sec @ 145mph.
You will need slicks and 1000Hp to match that with your E55.

yea, my hayabusa is the fastest thing in the world that you can drive on public roads legally. But doing a 12 second quarter mile in a mercedes seems a bit more impressive to me

also, the computer gets confused with the influx of more horsepower than it was ever expecting that it wont shift correctly. It tends to bounce off the rev limiter in the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts for a long time, that I have to lift before each shift.
I figure theoretically good for low 120's in quarter on my SO-3's.
More test and tuning to come.

u run has surprising stealth...doesn't look exceedingly fast, but the times and trap speed tell a different story...maybe it's cause there isn't someone next to u. but great run!
think vipers do what? 12s? i think u'r pretty close...

yea especially when you see 8 and 9 sec cars run down the track, a 12 second run looks like grandma going to church on sunday.

well I dont know much detail about the real hard core engine work. I do everything else myself, and the rest is done by Richie at GTR Motorsports in huntington, Long Island. He knows his stuff about Porsche's, ferrari's, and most German autos.
