It is actually a 2005 GT. It is an awesome car and it demonstrates to me just how fast the E55 is. I plan on running them side by side soon. My prediction is GT faster 0 to 60; GT lead after 60 stays constant until 110, the GT's lead starts to increase again after 110. Remember my E55 has many mods so we shall see.

Issac,
I may need you to drive my E55 in the race. I need someone who knows how to launch the car correctly.

Nice cars! What exactly kind of mods do you have on your E55?

Drives Slowly
Your GT will walk away, but not run from your E55 (at speed). I can see the E55 getting a jump on the GT out of the hole, if a good launch is not executed.

Maybe but published road tests claim the GT is a 3.3 sec 0 to 60 and 11.3 at 127 mph in the qtr. By the seat of my pants, I feel huge mid to top end acceleration in the GT so I agree with your opinion that at lower speeds, it may stay close.
