Will Drag radials help me?
I have a stock e55 01 and want faster time at the track. Will Drag radials for the cost add much to my time? What would be the best bet for a few thousand dollars?

I think the Mercedes ESP system does a pretty good job of keeping the car in traction.
Don't know about running drag radials and turning the traction control off.

A few tenths of a second might not be bad for $500. I would love to try to get my car to break the 13 second mark. Currently stock 01 E55 but I am willing on doing modifications. I am unsure what are the easiest and cheapest ways to get quicker. I have a call into a Kleemann dealer in Madison here to see what they can offer. What does anyone think? How much can a upgraded ECU give? K & N filters? Or is my only chance to break 13's to get a Kompressor. I am really thinking about the Kleemann S3 with cams, headers. Anyone with experience?
