Run in with ISF
The e55 is my dd and I drive it about 30 miles to work and 30 miles back. Had a real long work week
and was leaving my friends house last nite. So I then decided to do a little bit of spirited driving that nite lol. I hit the freeway and did a few nice pulls to remind me why I love this car. Nothing WOT but just enough to feel the power with the high revs. As I'm getting off the exit I see a black ISF getting ready to go on the highway, so of course I follow him. I catch up to him and we do a few pulls. We go from 50mph after 3 honks and I thrash him lol. I brake to let him catch up and then we do it again except from 80mph. Smashed him again hit about 150 before I brake to let him catch up. We rolled once more at 60, same outcome. I was def feeling good knowing that my 10year old car still has it. Btw my car is not stock.

I have samas' mods from his 210 when he was selling his car. He ran a 12.5 n/a. I have his setup minus an ecu tune at the moment. His times are up on dragtimes. Waiting for a good dyno tune. And the curb weight from an ISF looks about the same as a w210 to me....

Thank you sir, I plan on keeping it n/a and was thinking about doing the ported heads from shardul, drop in some cams and get a nice dyno tune to top it off. I was thinking of getting a blower but I'd rather get a w211 and save myself the headache and have both cars like you do lol.

I don't understand why its such a huge secret for you to tell us what u have done to your car. from what experiance i have had owning a w210 you have a limited amount of performance upgrades. shorty headers,carbon intake, crank pulley,exhaust and possable tune. Other then that cant think of much else unless u have a bored/stroked motor and cams that you already stated u did'nt. Spill the beans bro were not gonna hunt you down and race you.

. Also evosport underdrive pulley with ams crankshaft pulley and renntech cf airbox with k&n's and use royal purple oil and oil for diff. All I need is some tuneage lol. I believe samas had renntech for his ecu/tcu tune with 19" hre's and good driving when he had that time.

That's a nice kill. Your mods are most substantially on the exhaust side which makes sense. For the output and breathing of these engines, the exhaust system tubing diameters seems to be a bit small and the manifolds are just silly.
