Wow....my heart is still racing and it's been over an hour since I got home. I finally met up with CH and we decided to take our babies out for a few runs. I have to say, this has been the most fun i've had in a long time. We had 5 runs in total. All our runs ranged from 60-155 mph. The first two runs I didn't put the car in the right gear I was just in D and Sky was walking away. The 3rd, 4th and 5th runs I finally put the car in Sport mode and 3rd gear and I was walking Sky. I did notice in every video that the M5 would get the jump everytime. And driven correctly the M5 is very fast. Yes, I have pics and videos. Haha....

And theres one more surpise. LP640!?!?!? Now that thing is a Beast! I'm going to post pics and post the videos. I'll Let CH chime in. It was absolutely amazing today. Fun Fun Fun!!!

 

INSANE day today. Since Sunny got his car back from the shop I've been dying to run it and besides, we needed to ROLL THE F*** out.

We took our cars out to the nearest mega-highway and started rolling tape. Sunny's car is insane fast, I've driven it and well expected to get completely mauled. Much to my surprise I didn't get beaten nearly as bad as I had originally expected. I think he needs a little more time to get used to the car and its powerband, as he had it in D (moron!!) when we first went. His car is a K2 with the IC Pump Upgrade and Phenolic spacers, my E60 M5 is totally stock. We both had our girlfriends in the passenger seat, they weigh about 110lbs apiece. Sunny's girl filmed everything, and did a damn good job!

Traffic was scarce but inconvenient, we had a difficult time getting two lanes open for a lot of space, and we really wanted a 60-150 run for the books. We settled for a 70-150mph run and it was definitely an AWESOME ONE.

We were both hellbent on getting these runs as even and fair as possible, but then again we never run on 3 honks so the first few runs we fumbled about like complete amateurs. The last run we got completely clean, in gear, both in our powerbands, 70-150. I'd say he got a length on me when he passed me at about 110 and stayed ahead. We taped the entire thing, so VIDEO WILL BE POSTED TONIGHT.

So, awesome runs behind us, having shattered most NJ traffic laws and both totally freaking out, we pull off the freeway and on to a smaller highway heading directly back to my place. SLOW, in the right lane. Five miles down the way, slowing to a red light, I see a wraith a quarter mile behind us in the far left lane. Very low, very wide, dark gray with dark gray wheels, I thought Charlie Sheen had returned to take his revenge on us (some of you MAY actually get that joke). It zoomed up on my left as I gesticulated madly trying to get Sunny's attention as he rolled behind me. As it zoomed ever closer up on my left I recognized the oversized passenger-side vent and knew....LP640.

His window and mine blazed ever downward as I bounced up and down in my seat, "DUDE, that's a 640 right???"

The guy couldn't have been cooler, "Yeah man!"

The light turned green, I was paralyzed with excitement, I looked at my girlfriend next to me, "Babe, this is going to absolutely rock." The Lambo ignited into full song, glowing grey in the setting sun, I followed him in the left lane and we all screamed down the highway, passing a highway patrollman ticketing an Evo IX on the opposite side of the highway, complete disregard for the law. This kind of stuff never happens around here, we had to take a chance at glory. We chased the LP640 along but he just smoked us, hard, multiple times. The lambo driver would just let me pull up next to him, jump up and down in his seat and give me the thumbs up, then scream along in that beautiful machine effortlessly. What a cool dude, maybe late 30's rocking a friggin sweatsuit.

Overall the day was awesome, we had a great time and we got some good footage to show for it. As soon as Sunny's girlfriend can sync up her phone, we'll post it all for you guys to check out.

 

Hey guys.......Sounds like a fun day.

150-155? You have to let me get rid of those pesky speed limiters!

Our cars will do 202! That will teach that M5 a lesson, and you won't give much away to that LP!

 

I finally posted the vids and some pics of today in the E55 forums. There are 7 videos in total. Here is the link guys:

Enjoy!

 

We had to slow down due to traffic. Mine is delimited but only up to around 185-187 mph. Haven't had the chance to go up that high. At least not yet. I'll let you know when we do! CH will soon be getting an ECU upgrade.

 

Just a thought.......Great pics, but you may want to get rid of your license plates, considering the videos and your statements. Or not......I guess I am just being paranoid!

Have fun and be safe!

 

Good Idea! Thanks! I'll get on that. Keeping it safe is definitley important

 

Sunny55 what mods do you have on your car to keep it in fron of the M5. What is K2?

Can´t waite to see the videos, best thread on the board by far

Thanks! K2 is just the Kleemann ECU/Pulley and Headers. It also came with K&N filters. It's the same combo as every other tuner out there. These headers are longtube headers though, not shorty type headers. The ecu varies from the different tuners. I just happened to choose Kleemann. I also have an IC pump upgrade from Kleemann and the Evosport phenolic spacers.

 

The SOUND of Sunny's SL really makes it super impressive. What a muscle car, the burble of that V8 is awesome.
