I'd have to make it weekend, if we want to take the time to enjoy the cars. You down? Maybe the Sunday after superbowl? We'll PM location, time so some don't get undies wound up.

Here's the video I promised you Subaru Legacy 417 rwhp 407 rwto against highly modded probably stage 3 something..475 rwhp 536 rwto..

Also I read a post from AMGJerry? w/C32 modded to 350 rwhp 350 rwto he said he beat 2 2003+ E55k in street races...the C32 weighs 300+lbs more than the C6..
So like I said it should be a good race, stock against stock, or close to it, I have CAI, and Cat-back bullets...

Here's AMGJerry's post on beating 2 stock E55K
In his modded C32 w/350 rwhp 350 rwto....
He was speaking of racing newer Supercharged E55k, here's his entire post below..
I have raced 2 E55’s and beat them both. Both had the same scenario, we were at a red light, the light turned green, I had a good launch and won by ½ car length at over 115 mph. I know that if we had been rolling, or if either douche bags knew how to drive, I would have lost the race. I’m 99% sure both were bone stock too.
Well, it's hard to describe. The E55 feels smoother during acceleration and it felt like the engine did less work to get the car moving to the speed I wanted. However, I have raced 2 E55’s and beat them both. Both had the same scenario, we were at a red light, the light turned green, I had a good launch and won by ½ car length at over 115 mph. I know that if we had been rolling, or if either douche bags knew how to drive, I would have lost the race. I’m 99% sure both were bone stock too.
The power feels more consistent with the E55 during normal driving, but I had a chance to open her up a few times, and the heat soak really took over after a few runs.
The C32 feels lighter and easier to steer.
I could have fallen asleep and slept for 3 hours in the E55. The space in the cabin was awesome, but more than what I needed.
Since you are going to test drive one, have a friend follow you in your C32 and do a run or two. Try to take a corner at 20 and see if you like the “tank” feeling. I feel that the car is too large for my taste, but I have never owned a car that large and I’m sure it will just take some time to get used to.
Don’t get me wrong, the E55 > C32 any day. But, for the money, the C32 is where I want to be. It’s nice to have a 430+ HP MB for less than $35K.
You could almost buy 2 C32’s and mod them for the price of one decent E55.
If money was not an issue, I would have kept the E55 and never have looked back.

It is another to plan it and have it on your mind the whole time. You really think about the risks when the adrenaline isn't flowing.

Cracker,
I have told you that I will race you anytime. I would be happy to give you the data you are looking for. Just name the time and place.

Got anymore pearls of wisdom guy??

Guys, please don't post it here. I get my 9.5 inch rears Wed, so i will be set. i gave up my turn on the REnn stage 1, so i am still stock for another week. PM me and AMG_55. I've never rode with thericker, but Vadim can drive the crap outta that 997. This should be fun! You guys really should consider coming down. It may be far, but at least we know the ride is fun. If not, we'll meet up somewhere, but we want it to be someplace with minimal traffic and yet fun!!
