Hey guys,

My neighbor has challenged me to a quick roll on from 50 to ?? in his modded SL55.

My e55 is stock and my neighbor's sl55 has a pulley, ECU tune, headers, plug wires and possibly resonator removal. He states it makes about 570 hp at the crank.

What will the outcome be? Should I race him or will I get spanked?

Thanks
Tony

I'd race him. i have no clue what 570hp at the crank means, but I'd race him.

I have an SL55 that has the RennTech Ecu reflash, pulley, larger throttle body and carbon fiber airbox. My wife has a stock E55 and the SL feels faster than the E but that can be deceiving. The sound of the SL at WOT makes the thing like a true beast and my butt dyno tells me that the SL is much quicker especially at the low end. However that said the E55 is a true sleeper and goes like a bat out of hell. Go ahead and give him a run.

I would race him too. Good luck and get it on video.

I think you might be in trouble as i have own both, the sl is heaver but a lot more hp. it will be down to who every is the better driver
i have raced against my old e55 (rentech stage 2 ) on the track and won almost every time

ROCKETW19

what would it matter if you loose? nuttin! i would race anything you can find for the hell of it.

baldmike73

I would do it in a heartbeat. I can't get any of my buddies to run with me. All good fun to see what you car can do against a modded SL.

I'd do it for ****s and giggles...

Stage 2?

Tony, you can take him

phatmitzu

Race him and take videos!

Aways race, if you lose just don't talk about it! Seriously, if the SL is what he claims it is (LOL on the "at the crank comment") from a 50 MPH roll you are going to get beat by at about 2 cars to 110 and it will put more distance on as the speeds build. (it shoud run similar to a Z06 to about 120). Try him from a dead stop or 5 MPH, you will hang with him to about 80 then the power will show. Like others said, get video of this. If you do run fender to fender with him I would talk some serious smack.

I agree with everyone else: you're definitely holding the upper hand in a head-to-head race.

By the numbers, the best 1/4 mile on Dragtimes for a stock E55 is 11.849. That's on street tires, PS2s IIRC. The best time for a tuned SL55 is 12.020. That's a Renntech tuned car on BFG drag radials.

You'd probably win and almost certainly wouldn't do any worse than running neck-and-neck barring some kind of equipment failure such as the IC pump cutting out.

Hey guys,

We did a roll this last weekend from about 50 mph with both of us in S2. The cars were very equal until I hit about 90 and my car very SLOWLY started to pull away. By 145 I had a one car lead and then we both shut down.

I am totally stoked with the results.

How can a stock E55 beat a modded SL55? Are the SL's a lot heavier than our E55s?

Nice run. Next time try and get a video.

jmf003

SL55 is both heavier and has more air drag. (Drag co-efficient * frontal area).

As a result, the SL needs serious mods to keep up with an E55.

Tony - I just noticed you have a C6. Is it stock? do you have an auto or manual? just wondering how the E55 compares. I have seen a video with the ricker and the E55 was faster. Just wondering if you could do a comparison for me on brakes, handling, comfort, acceleration from butt dyno, etc. I know these cars are totally different, but I am a long time corvette lover and I chose the E55 over the C6. Thanks.

i didnt race a E55..but i did race an M5. That thing is SUPER FAST..i only had a chance untill 80 km/h..at higher speeds i really got spanked

I have an ECU remap done by MKB..what other mods should i have to beat the M5..Is it even possible (Euro M5's).

Got any pics of your car?

You (SL55 MKB) have been accused of being a troll on previous threads, if you aren't post a pic and I am sure you will receive apologies, etc.

Tony - how about racing me?

juicee63

LOL, that is silly dude? You should sell your car and get an M6. It is prettier and FASTER

sporters78

since i only have a slow sl how much of a head start will you give me..............lol

Lifesgud2

I'll run you at the end of May at Moroso...Kleeman blower coming soon. Should have been here last week...
