I have lots of video of W210 E55 but no way to post. I guess I need to burn to DVD and send to someone to post if anyone is interested!

If they are compressed using a good codec (windows media player encoder (free download)) to get the file sizes ~5MB, I can host it.

Okay, I have a couple of short videos that are less than 5 mb according to my computer so now I have to figure out how to e-mail them. Any tips would be appreciated!?!?

Here's mine (about 5MB). It's me in my 2001 E55 racing my friend in his 2002 M5. It was shot a few years ago, but it always gives me a little chuckle. :p

Nice video. I wish it would have shown the 1/4 mile times. Mug, is your E55 stock? Seems like it should have been a closer race. Do you know the 1/4 miles times from that day of racing?

I don't recall the exact times, but I believe both our times were in the high 13's. If I recall correctly, the M5 had a best time of the day about .1 seconds better then my E55.

The track is located at California Speedway (in Fontana) and is known to produce slow times due to its high elevation. It was a mid-August day in sunny socal and the temperature was approaching 100 degree's when we were doing our runs.

Those are some great 1/4 miles times considering the conditions. Do you have any more videos? I will be going to Arizona in a couple weeks and I'm going to race BMW 540i 6 speed. The weather will be around 50 degrees and the elevation is sea level or a tiny bit lower (not sure) and there is very little humidity. I have a few mods and I'm very interested in what times I will be getting.
Mug is your E55 stock?

My E55 was stock (I sold it a few weeks ago). That's the only video I have of it. I have a few friends with 540 6-speeds and my E55 was usually able to pull away from them rather easily.

I'm able to pull away but only by a tiny bit, but that was a rolling start of 50mph. I think I will be able to pull much harder from a dead stop up to 100mph. We will have to see.

E55 video

Thanks to Dean from amgpower.com for hosting two video clips of my car at the track. Please forgive the amateur quality as I have to rely upon others to shoot the video. Here are the links: http://dynoperformance.com/E55vsSSCamaro.wmv

Thanks again Dean!!
