Thericker, good to meet you. awesome vette, very tastefully done. Sorry for not meeting you on Sat., we agreed there was a misunderstanding, I thought you had other plans in LA (based on you telling me youre coming out regardless cause you have plans ), so thought it was no big deal. I never flake on anything when someone is depending on me, as I told you; I wouldve riden my bike to meet you if I knew that I was the only reason youre coming down.



you can see all 4 vids on the same screen here so its better than individually posting em

Glad someone got to meet the Ricker. This poor guy was trying so hard for so long to set something up with an E55.

BTW, the 2nd and 3rd videos are no longer available for some reason.

AMG_55

they should be back up soon, took em down, had to cut them a little short, the map on the nav and speedo in the same frame=no good

305-E55

Nice kills bro . Was that you doing the filming and the racing? If so damn you're a crazy ****. Good to see someone finally get to race with Thericker, I know he's been itching to race an E55.

Vic55

Ricker where are you???

I think you knew this might happen but I did like your confidence, nice kills.

TREZ63

I was thinking the same thing. This guy is like superman. Racing, filming .. but then that's what's awesome about the AMG cars, you can race, talk on the phone, and film the whole thing all at once while changing CDs.

Hahahahaa... Paging the Ricker...

Nice kills V.

Thanks for the Vids, great race

juicee63

Well Coolcamden? Now do you believe some of the Vette kill stories posted here? This race confirms the E55 is faster than the C6 or at least it was on this night and in this video. Thericker nice race man, on the last one it was nearly even. Check your tires. Also get someone else to film and go to a drag strip to be safe.

Ricker sounds like a cool guy and wants to have fun win or lose....cool videos.

Thericker

Hatz off to Vadim! Video/racer!! yes last race was best/most even start, I did loose traction badly vid doesn't show it..But Vadim saw it and commented about my fishtailing on last race on cell phn remember? none the less E55k>C6 ****z fast!

Vadim thanks for stepping up! AMG rox! Did you get our 1st race? b4 we saw the cop that one was near dead even I thought (Maybe wishful thinking, looks like the best I coud do was hold at 3/4 of a car length?) also I stuck to the rear 1/4 of Vadims Merc up to 140kms of coarse

Thericker

I tried gentlemen

Thericker

Yeah I just looked at them? past the ware bars in middle, I'll post a pic..but no excuse past certain speeds, I left all stability cntrls on except last race, only time I felt massive traction loss was last race, we went from 30kms up to 140
It fishtailed, but I was determined to hold her down, I didn't let up.

Deff heading to a 1/4 track soon!

PS..Not to beat a dead horse, but when tuner removed torque management, he fukd up my rev limitter, I kept hitting that damned thing

Thericker

Come on now, I didn't get totally destroyed wonder if HPS will donate a Maggy for my racing charity fund Naa I'd rather make my own out of a leaf blower

jangy

HAHA!!! Sweet VAdim!! You use the cruise cam? I think that's a requirement for everyone in our crew.

Hehe, sean..you sure it is just traction issues due to power and not those leafy springs? Come down and lets have a real run around palomar. Just straights isn't where its at.

Gotta give it to thericker. he calls me at home afetr he got spanked giving props!! He wanted to do the run and I'm sure he'd run again. Losing a race doesn't kill the fun.

Thericker

Bro! u guys should know me by now? I luv this ****e!! Deff will run Auto X though I'm sure w/your seat time you'd give me a far worse *** whoppin than my best at 3/4 car length..

Thericker

Cruise cam? damn you should've seen Vadim left hand on the wheel right hand videoing!!!!!!!

jangy

There is a decently open autocross at the Q every other week or so (SCCA solo). I think you may enjoy it.

topdaytrader

nice kill!!!

AMG_55

thanks guys,
i really had nothing to do w/ it, it was really all the 55k
i just kept my foot down, steered and tried to get the other car on cam (it was just the 2 of us, no one else to record, somebody had to do it)

Thericker

This race has me thinking....Some of you remember I beat Falco from this board SLK55 freeway rolls very similar, but nothing below 60mph, anyhow the SLK55 is supposed to run 12.70 @ 110-112

Only mod since that run has been torque management removal, I pulled Falco way worse than Vadim pulled me, just saying You've got one damn strong E55k there!

jangy

Dude, we had this discussion before. Quit making assumptions based on published 1/4mile times. The SLK55 is NOT supercharged. Don't confuse it with an E55, which was marketted as the "slowest" 55K due to price. Vadim's car is just a car. You'll get spanked by ANY E55.

Thericker

Woah! talker! calm down, I was just commenting as you commented on how your FACTORY E55K beat a Kleemann 2 E55k they have a wide swing in power ratings from the factory!
Care to re-think this post?

Also, you call a 3/4 length "SPANKED?" that was the best I did, then the other best was about 2 lengths and I held there the entire way? chilly ***** guy Just because you can't see me in the corner of vid I was right there on 2 races..

TREZ63

LOL, Either that or that's the worst Vadim did.
So you're not gonna rest until you've been beat by every E55 in the country?
Tell you what bro, any day this week (with the exception of wednesday) I'll meet you half way (Im in Newport) with the 63. I invite others to come to film it cause I am just not good at holding the camera pointing backwards and racing like Vadim is.
I'll bet you a steak dinner that same night, best of three runs from dead stop.

Thericker

Jeezus I knew it would come to this I deff had traction issues at lower mph rolls, ask Vadim, I never said I could beat anyother E55k??? Look at Jangys old posts above that was all I was commenting on???
Sit back an relax! fine please lets race (I find it fun, hobby) YOU and others take it personally ??
