Hello everyone. I am a new 2003 S55 AMG owner (purchased 11/28/05) and was wondering if there are any events, clubs, races, etc. in the Vegas area to attend for fun. In February I participated in the drag night at The Strip at the speedway. I was turning the 1/4 mile in 13.4 with the traction control on. It was windy and cold as ****, plus I really did not know what I was doing since I had never dragged before. My experience has always been road racing and autocrossing, although it has been years since I have done that as well.

I was looking at purchasing a 2001 or newer turbo 911, although now I have a 2 year old girl and a 5 month old boy, so I had to opt for the family car...ON STERIODS!!! Honestly, I could not be happier and I love my car. My wife likes driving it so much she is thinking about getting one for herself as well. I don't know about having 2 of the same car though, it seems somewhat silly to me.

Thanks,

Rich

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the ///AMG family.

I too live in Vegas and I drive a 2004 E55 K2 pushing 600hp / 650ft. lbs. I can't wait for the next drag day. Looking to turn mid-high 11's.

When is it?

Thanks.

Go to www.lvms.com and the schedule is available for viewing. It looks like the next Midnight Mayhem is 2 weeks from today on Friday 3-31-06 at 10PM. I am planning on going. My wife says she would like to go and I am sure she will do a few runs herself. We'd love to see you there, can you make it?

Funny I'm headed to Vegas is about 45min. Not taking to Benz though...

What's the deal with the upgrades and the factory warranty? I have been looking at the Renntech Performance Package 5 taking the car to 598 horses and 626 lbs/ft. Will that just kill my warranty?

Do you recommend Kleeman over Renntech?
