E63 he is also friends with other friends so im bound to see him around from time to time , I know hell be thinking to Drag, and ill be thinking the same....My question is when I see him, Do I give him a run, or is that not a good idea ( Im talking 0-70/80mph 10-80/90mph that kind of run) i dont wanna make excuses but keep in mind ive got 20`s on the car....THOUGHTS???

I agree (DO IT)....this would settle this once and for all.
Snag the races on video, post um on The Tube or Google and take your place in AMG history.
If the triangle doesn't bite, you should take the drag, but it's the rolls that really would be worth the price of admission.
We're begging you to do this!!! PLEEEAAASSEEEE!!!

It isn't the 20s that will hurt you, if anything. What is your overall diameter of the tire? If you ended up bigger than stock, your gearing is what may hurt. As others said, the weight and even the concentration of that weight being farther out of the center is not going to be a huge factor.

In PGF's situation I dont think the wheel factor is going to make too much of difference beacuse of his plus size set up and his wheels weigh about the same if not less than OEM's.
Now that we all have invested our time on this, PGF you are hereby ordered to conduct said race and post the time so I and others can witness

E55
Race him while it is brand new to him since he may not know how and if he can put it in first gear. Secondly, this may benefit you since other are seeing that over 1000's of miles the E63 becomes faster. that is ... if these are true.
Do it from the roll to take away the refinement advantage of the E63. that is ... if that is true.
Put it in soft suspension and S mode. You may consider downshifting yourself to put it in first so you don't have to wait for the tranny to shift for you.
Put some race gas or I usually put some Redline SL1 Injection cleaner. It seems to make my car "feel faster consistently."
Make sure it is not too cold or moist out. Will hurt your torque.
Mostly, just have fun. Think of anything you can do to win. Then if you lose, it doesn't really matter just do some upgrades and both the E55 and E63 are amazing cars to win in or lose to. It's not like you have to worry about losing to an Integra. LOL
