*VIDEO* E55 chasing motorcycle up a mountain (updated)
- video rehosted *AGAIN*
Watch this video taken from the passenger seat by my son, "tommaey". We gave chase to a motorbike up a mountain pass nearby.
He got a massive fright when he realised that I caught up with him despite his best "Grand Prix" efforts, after a few minutes of climbing up the pass.
In the end, we had to back off or he would have crashed just to stay in front of us! Watch him slow down to check out the badges on our car.
Don't be alarmed, in Australia we are are supposed to drive on the left ...LOL.
PS. My G-Tech Meter clocked our 0-62mph/100kph acceleration time at 4.60sec with Michelin PS2 (excellent traction, no wheel spin, ESP on) and 5.13sec with Conti 2, with lousy traction, plenty of wheel spin, even with ESP on. With the Contis, ESP Off, I fishtailed all the way to 6400RPM in a cloud of smoke in First gear and another two seconds in Second gear!
Those Michelin PS2 tyres are really fantastic.
*Warning* Large file 41MB 5:17 duration

Please excuse the video wobble as it was taken from a hand held digi cam and we encountered some bumps on the road.

Ok i'll get the video rehosted soon. Uploading 41MB to a foreign site takes a while 
Expect it in the next 18 hours. (because I want to sleep now)

'05 C55(sold)'05 E55(sold)'06 911C4S(sold)'06 ML350 '06 CLS55(sold),buncha slo bikes
Didnt look like he was going that quickly till you caught up to him.Once he saw you,it looked like he started to pick up the pace a bit.
Anybody wanna try&catch me on my bikes???
It'd make a fun clip for a few seconds :v
There's actually a group of guys in the NJ area with high-end cars that make top-end vid clips.They have a Lambo,a twin turbo viper,a 1000hp(supposedly)Supra turbo&a few other sick cars.A friend of mine ran the Supra out on I-78 and the car blew the engine.They sell the tapes on the net.
Point I'm rambling on about is that were supposed to meet up with them and film some footage.They asked(indirectly,as my buddy was setting up the runs w them) me to bring out the E55 as well as the bikes
If anything comes of it,I'll be sure to post it real quick here
