You can settle this real easy, send some of your best E63's to MIR on 10/8 for the big track day. I'm sure they'll have plenty of stock E55's for you guys to prove your point on.

Man, we are starting to beat this to death almost as bad as the M5 vs E55 debate. FWIW I still love the 63's even though they are a bit slower.
I know this is what you were really thinking.

Okay, so you're five car lengths ahead of me but I'm travelling at 1.3 mile/hour faster............................and you're jealous of what????

Albert, you're 10 car lengths ahead, so you do not count.

We simply do not have any 63's participating @MIR or ATCO or any other quality East Coast venue. The 55's in the west have also failed to run any sub 12.4 so therefore by your logic the West Coast 55's are also slower?


The car gets faster just like the M6, power plant much more susceptible to bad air than the 55. The 63 can be as* slow but it can also jump you as if you were walking around post Katrina. That 55 was on the same playing feild and it could not come close to the 63's.

Actually, I have one confirmed E63 and one maybe going to MIR on 10/8. There will also be stock and modded E55's there. This should give us some insight We'll even have them line up side by side

Juicee,

If I was the CEO of Enron before its collapse I could think of no one better than you to handle damage control and recruit new investors to keep the ship afloat. A true company man!!

You Da Man!!!

Great I am still hoping to attend. Hopefully I am not creating a lynch mob for the step children. I guess I will just have to take down my second rocket. Here was the first

Mr. Venom is in training and likely will be ready soon. I think he has been 2x in his new 63. Venom still has his filters in(nother .1) Xabo has been 1x and also ran a 12.5@115...Neither in Magic Mode, it will help em by .3 and drag rads will help .2....

All 63 runners this video will show you the #1 secret of your power plant

i've got a 55 with plenty of data logging session and 1/4mile runs that would make it quite difficult for you to prove that statment.

The 55 is as you are aware hosting a super charger. While it is effected as all cars are it is less effected by bad air than the N/A motor. All the 63 has is air and fuel if either is bad you may as well be racing Maxima's. The 55 while bad air and altitude can cripple her can make it up better via forced induction. This is whay the NHRA correction factors for S/C engines are .5 of the standard correction for N/A motor.

i knew you were going to say that and in principle i'd agree with you but you obviously don't understand the shortcomings of our i/c systems, the resulting iat's, and havoc it then plays with our ecu's.

I do the modded 55 I raced 3x had several issues...I know there are a ton of things to factor. You know your car and I respect that. The 55 motor has more of a HEAT problem but the bad air kills the 63 equally and since there is no way to get more good air, oxygen into the engine it simply cannot produce power.

You know 1 million times more than I do about engines so, I retract my post ,and thanks for somewhat agreeing a tincy bit

I don't know that much and there's definitely no need to retract anything because in principle you are absolutely correct. unfortunately someone stuck an ecu in the mix and now common sense and logic don't necessarily apply (kind of like preloading to launch).

I agree with you 100% . Fricken ECU , the other day I put on cologne , the car shutters and the little Nav babe says, "seeing someone special?" Next thing I know my shift points are all screwy and the car is going full throttle w/o shifting. It was an angry ECU. I stopped reset her and reassured her , "I love you baby" All is seemingly normal

ANYWAY, I posted to see if there was any stock 55 on the west coast willing to go head up with an inferior 63 and all I got was more excuses and bickering.. I guess that says it all

No bickering bro, just jokes. I think it's funny how we can all debate this to death. The bottom line is, you'll have 55's beat 63's in side by side racing and you'll have 63's beat 55's. The car's are pretty close so a driver can make the difference.

Juicee, you'll like this one. I think your 63 is close and the videos you've posted show that. I just don't think it's faster or as fast as the 55's. I agree that it's not as slow as most think but you do have a bit of an uphill battle. You don't have one car that is faster than the average 55. That's the problem most of us have with the 63's. We'll have a couple at our MIR event so we should be able to have a 63 down in the 12.2 range or even in the teens?

We'll have a couple at our MIR event so we should be able to have a 63 down in the 12.2 range or even in the teens?

From everything I have calculated, the 55 best sub 12 times likely will not crumble anytime soon. It will take perfect air and a highly experienced 63 driver. The car should be capable of 12.1-12.2@118.**. I would look for it to out trap the 55 but IMO the 1/8th and 1/4 mile runs , a 55 with traction is .1 to .2 faster but trap speed should go to the 63. The best comparison I have is with SISWATI's CLS 55

Edit..The 1/4 mile race really is the 55's race. As with the M5 the 63 is at max power in 4th gear after the end of the 1/4 mile run . Cars still will be glued down the track. Although Siswati destroyed the 63 he raced, I destroyed the 55 I raced. His timeslips and car look like mirror images to mine

Our cars identical cept the engine

His best run shows lower ET 12.509 vs 12.64
But the cars are so close all the way down the slip.
For those who cannot read


The one to look at is Siswati #3 12.65 cars performed IDENTICAL. Slight edge to Siswati's 55 but really as close as a race could get between two cars with different engines. trap speed 63=111.815 trap speed CLS55=111.82

Case Closed! Enjoy your rides both E55's and E63's
Show me a western USA timeslip @12.4 ? Good luck there are none. Western US E55's run 12.4-12.7 just like west coast 63's absolutely no difference at all. Cars are = end of story.

The East Coast will produce some quality 63 runs maybe not as fast AS THE BEST 55 run but at least as fast as most 55's.


Why is it so hard to believe the 63 is EQUALLY AS FAST?

LOL, I know..

Hey man thanks for inviting me to the BBQ.

COME WITH ME..

Leaving in T minus 15 minutes.. The AIR in Sac @ 9:50p.m is gonna be under 1000 DA likely around 600 ft WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

there are plenty of stock 55's that run 12.1-12.4 here in az when we have good da of under 2500' (lol, it's amazing what we consider good da out here! ).
