300 lbs was a bit of stretch haaaa Maybe after all the beer we drank.

I also beat my buddy Mario, (E55cent) he has a 1999 supercharged E55 w/2.82 gears (better gears than the 211 55) 400 rwhp 420 rwto and he only weighs 3765lbs..

So that's acouple of races that make me want to see how I fare against one of your stock E55's--E63's
Just to put things into perspective, I was at Willows running with an SLK55. You do know that they are putting down about 150hp less to the ground, right? How'd you compare to the SLK? I walk it like it was standing still.

Hehe, you like my video joke, huh? Don't take it personal, its just a jab at your car!!

It should be a good run, I am stage 2- no TB. It would have to be a rolling race though, my tires are bald.

Here's my little 4banger.. The whistle is just a loose hose, I promise

That'Z HOTT man!! looks like my black'd out C6 Except I thought LACR, was an 1/8 mile not a 1/4?? I heard that Palmdale was the closest 1/4..
So were my sources wrong? I'll hit the LACR!! just hope I don't hook, & break my diff

That whistling hose wouldn't be a Twin Turbo now would it

That's pretty good for a 12.7 SLK55, you couldn't be more than a 12.2-12.5 stock? I wouldn't think that would be like passing him at a stand still?

Anyway no biggie not taking it personal bro! all good!! let's do it! do it!!
