THIS RACED OCCURED @ A LOCAL AIRSTRIP IN AMSTERDAM IN SOUTH AFRICA.

MY E55 IS STOCK WITH M/T DR.
THE 350Z HAS A VORTECH SUPERCHARGER AND 100HP NOS.

I PULLED AWAY FROM THE 350Z IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR.
FROM ABOUT THE 350M TO THE 400M MARK THE 350Z DID COME BACK @ ME BUT IT WAS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE .
THE RACE WAS OVER AND THE E55 WOn

there car is bone stock.
the only thing i changed was the tyres.

i have perfected the launch.
very few cars can beat me on launch.
that is were i win most of my races.
once u spook your oposition of the line there is a very good chance he is gonna panic over rev;miss a gear etc..
my best reaction time was 0.0031 sec.

Good run there. Say, did you qualify for the NvS finals? So are you coming up?

@ our local drags we also give a prize for the best reaction time of the day.
everyone was

Nice vid, a 350Z with Vortec supercharger and 100 shot nos is making at least 450-500hp on the motor, the race is very fair but I guess it boils down down to your driving skills and exprience at launching (as you stated). Damn 0.003 reaction time is amazing, that's like a pefect reaction time since there's no such thing as 0.0000 reaction time!

I happen to own a 350Z myself by the way.. fun toy as a daily driver.

zangerbenz

s.a spec e55 from factory is 360kw.
we dyno 5 stock e55 under same conditions and they all made 430hp.

Ahmed

You mean to tell me that you're timing system is not set to .500 or .400 sec??? Usually, r/t timers are set to those parameters!

zangerbenz

THAT WAS DONE BACK IN THE 60S.

Insigno E55

Can't beat the torque of the E55, or the 350Z was off the bottle on that run. Whatever it is, impressive run.

Nickerz

...LOL! Trying telling this to Gustav!

Nice run btw!

zangerbenz

the 350z stock s.a spec is 206kw.
with the vortech supercharger it makes 356kw

so both cars make similiar power.
but i think it comes down to traction; ratios and gearing

for gustav i have a video of a s55 driven by me kicking an e60 m5 a$$ over the 1/4 mile.

M&M

How about a video of a red E46 M3 normally aspirated that killed your E55 at Mathuba?

Hey so you coming up for the finals?

//AMG55lover

I love those video's, thx for sharing

zangerbenz

that m3 is not normally aspirated.
it is fully modified from headers;cams ; diff;nos...
that is the quickest m3 in s.a. and he is a mate of mine.

he runs 12.8 sec without nos and with nos 12.4sec.

i raced him on the road 2 weekends after matuba over 1.2km.
he came fully equiped with his slicks and i was on road tyres.
he out launched me about 2 cars and held it in first and second.
i passed him @ the end of 3rd and kept opening the gap on him.
u cannot compare the 2 cars as the m3 strenth is his launch only.

now what car do u race???????

M5 always parses his words very carefully, and you will note that he used (inaccurately) the term "normally aspirated" instead of "bone stock", obviously because he wanted to give the *impression* that this car wasn't heavily modded.

Unfortunately, the car is both heavily modded *and* has forced induction, in the form of nitrous oxide injection.

Amazing...time and time and time again, we nail him with this stuff, and he keeps coming back. We finally banned gustav....why not this guy?? He's not here to contribute, only to provoke and annoy with selective quoting and disinformation.

SSM AMG

This video would be nice to see. Can you post it?

M&M

Chimp, you say I wanted to use the word "bone stock". Where do you get that from? Did you read my mind? I don't understand how you could know what I did or didn't want to say.

But I didn't want to say it was bone stock, because it isn't.

Zanger, I know exactly what mods Sameer has. He's also a buddy of mine. He told me when he beat you with & without the NOS. There are videos of both runs as well that the Zoopedup guys have.

I qualified for the finals in 6A, but I also own a 6B car. I was thinking more along the lines of a filmed race between you & Jacque's M6.

Now I'm confused w/ this despite NOS or no NOS, modded or not modded.... unless zanger is lying or the M3 driver screwed up big time in the race he referred, the M3 is high 12's w/o nos and mid 12's w/ nos (which is very good already for an "N/A" M3).

With zanger's reaction time and assuming nothing wrong w/ his car, how could he get beaten by the M3? Stock E55's w/ average driver are known to be in low to mid 12's.

M&M

Never low 12's on our tracks, which are mostly unprepped airfields.

On the line when they lined up this is how it went:

2006/07/30 15:04 Left Lane 8B09, ZANGER 13.011 179.01 (111mph) 0.935 NO
2006/07/30 15:04 Right Lane 6A24, SAMEER 12.918 173.9 (108mph) 0.765 NO

I believe Zanger ran 12.6 later on Thompsons. Well done there, that's a good time.

The M3's best time on the spray is 12.2 I believe.

I've seen you in action enough to know when you're trying to mislead us. For example, one of your favorite techniques is to only respond to portions of a person's post, as you're doing here: you simply ignore the fact that you got caught trying to pass off a car with forced induction as naturally aspirated and press on, thinking that if you don't respond to it, people will ignore it or forget about it.

No, you only said that it is naturally aspirated, when it isn't. nos injection is forced induction. You also neglected to mention the heads, cam, etc...only said one thing about its state of tune, "naturally aspirated", which of course turns out to be false.

Why don't you race him in the M5 you told us you were "second in line" at your dealership to get?

Guess you weren't in line after all, eh??
