fastest 0-60 and standing 1/4 times for E55's

I was wondering what performance times others were getting out of their cars and what starting techniques you use.
ie ESP on or OFF, stalling up on the converter etc.
My best times so far are 0-100Kmh 5.22 =0-60mph approx 5 flat and 0-400m 13.3 at 172kmh (approx 107mph), ESP off stalling the converter to 1500RPM's using moderate wheelspin most of the way through first.

In my case it is ESP OFF, I only use my right foot for braking and accelerating (so I'm not doing any power braking or stalling the torque converter), I'm running front tires on stock pressure (aprox 38 psi) and the rear tires at 28 psi), I've usually had a little spin (kind of chirp) when taking off, my 60' was 2.058, and my 1/4 mile (400 mts) was 13.293 @ 105.89

My Impala SS couldn't do that stock, it needed NOS to get going, when I traded it in it was doing 12.795 @ 112 mph and it dynoed at 494 hp at the flywheel (then again it weighted almost 4600 lbs with me in it, speakers, spare and full tank). Vettes and WS6 Trans Ams could belive their eyes when I busted them on the street I've alwasys used the same technique, right foot does everything in the car
