There is no regular production street car that can outrun that car at the strip...PERIOD!!
Production car street tires have absolutely no chance against those Mickey Thompsons. That car is a perfect example of a Drag Racing Rocket; a supercharged V8, with NO2, RWD LSD and drag slicks.
I have alot of drag racing experience and I can tell you that other than 2 Toyota Supras that I have seen (each with 1400 RWHP) that E55 is the fastest street car out there, and I bet he drove his to the track!!!!! They trailered both Supras.
I'm cooking up something with the SL600 to try and match or beat Derrick's time (I want to bring him out of retirement
)
