2001: Supercharged E55 AMG
Smoked a S55 Kompressor at a red light from 0-110 MPH

As someone wrote here earlier, if you get te "jump" when the light turns to green, a fast W210 like mine can make a S55 AMG Kompressor pretty nervous from a redlight and even make him runner up

We pulled from 0-175 Km/h or 0-110 MPH on 1,2 and 3 gear and when I had to brake for a car ahead I was aprox 3-4 car lengths ahead. If we had pulled a bit more I think he would have passed me at maybe 210 Km/h or 130 MPH.
I know my car isn't as fast as the S55 AMG Kompressor at speeds, but it was great fun to see how well my car acted and he was impressed and gave me a thumbs up I have 319 WHP with my mods on 1620 KG and I guess he has at least 1900 KG in his S55.

That is great info. Were you in summer or winter mode?
Keep it safe.

Sounds logical... 319 wheel horsepower roughly equates to 396 crank.

Good stuff Abalone!
