stephens,
Wear out those Michelins and try some Bridgestone RE050's. Just a suggestion because I don't like to see anyone buy French tires.
Just kidding, but could never get a good launch with Pilot Sports.
Even S-03's gave superior traction. Good Luck, again.

Thanks James
The issue with Michelins is that while availabilty of the RE050 is no problem here in Australia, the S03, which was my original preference, was not available in 285/30/19.

Blackbob,
You do understand I was speaking of the other cars with slicks and open headers, not my car. I like MY car quiet! And I run on my street tires!!

The car ran a 12.7 stock, but this was measured on a G-Tech, not the strip, I can't remember the speed. That was also on the original 18's
Before and after dyno sheets are posted in the e55 forum

The car ran a 12.29 @112mph tonight on 19's, so you get to keep your crown, for now. The issue with the faulty throttle postion sensor is getting worse and is killing top end power.
