E55 vs M5,Hamann M6 and others in 1/4 (day videos)

Hello guys...Finally I have made some decent videos...

Last Sanday was the opeing season on our local Drag Strip...I dont think that you can even call this is a drag strip....Just an old air field, with very old payment, with some sand on it, very bad tarmac...

Weather was not so good also, windy, +8+10C...

It was difficult to hook up proprely...+ my tyres are almost bold...

Best times I did 12.5 and trap speed over 115Mph...

Runned with different cars including M5 and Hamann M6...

My E55 makes around 620 HP, ASP pullies, has custom ECU (not sure if its good one or not) all cats removed and Eisenmann Race Exhausts...

P.S. You can hear how E.Race sounds without all the Cats

M5 was chipped with Evotech ECU, makes around 535HP+ and had bad tyres also...

Hamman M6...has full Hamann/SS exhaust system, cats removed and custom Evotech ECU and makes around 580 HP...and had just broken inn tyres Yoko Advan Sport 285/30 (stock size)...


OK...here is 1st run ever...

E55 vs VAZ 2109 (highly modifed)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGQOTaAYq8

Late starting reaction, cause I only press WOT at the green, later I discovered that I need to go on last yellow and get the best reaction times...

Burn out on Cola-cola...its sweet and makes tyres to hook up much better...Preparing to launch without ESP...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOoPI96UK9o

Launching without ESP after Coca-cola burnout

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRlb8vx78wM

E55 vs M5 with Euro LC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhyqr3XhppE

2nd run, still didnt get it how to run on those lights...

M5 went used Euro LC...I had late starting reaction and ESP interfirence...M5 pulled hard off the line and I had to catch up like 2 cars....M5 beat ME by one hood but my 1/4 times and trap speed was faster...

M5 vs old Russian dragster with Renault 2 liter Turbo engine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhjAe9Ql7Ho

M5 barely won...later that old piece of metal runed 12.4...


M5 vs M6

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spdiNf1q4n4

M5 runned 13.4 and M6 13.1 9 (-reaction times)...Hamann M6 is much faster...beats C6 Z06 fater 170...

Finally

E55 vs M6

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_Uxr_KnJ7M

Didnt launch too good and a bit late also...M6 pulled one car ahead...Approx in the middle of the distance I catched up and we run dead even in 1/4 !!!



E55 vs M6 (best run)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBB1RGtqIW0

Even start and E55 hooks up good...Pulls hard on M6... M6 beaten by 2-3 cars in 1/4

E55 runs 12.6 and M6 13.1 in 1/4

It was fun... We all friends, respect each other cars and enjoy our cars like we can...

The faster car at the strip was Evo 8 with 500 HP at the crank and runned 11.3-11.4 in 1/4....

Drive safe...

Great videos! You should put a better description for the videos on youtube. List the mods that the cars have. This is so others know the details when they see the movies.

Derek,
Where have you been? So how do you like the M6 vs. the E55 and the E63. I am sitting on the fence and considering getting the M6, however I only want to do so if I can turn it into a 10 second car without NOS. Have you spoken to any tuners or done any upgrades. What type of times are you seeing at the track. Thanks

keep in mind, that car never actually ran...at least not for any testing/proving purposes. my personal opinion on the astronomical price was that it kept them from actually having to deliver the car to anyone.

WOW! I figured you'd have better times with that kind of HP, 600+ should get you into the 11's club. Track conditions must have sucked.

My stock 03 runs 12.9.

Did some more night drag racing...it was cold about 0C...Couldnt hook up properly....and my tyres are getting bolder and bolder...

My time was 12.4 with ESP flashing in 1st and 2nd...

M5 with ECU did 12.7, somehow hooked up great in 1st and pulled hard...

Hamann M6 also 12.7...

Beat them all and lost in final by half a car to 4wd S4 Avant 4.2 Turbo with over 500HP (as the owner says)...they 4wd cars can jump off the line pretty good, while rwd trying to hook up...

Need better grip and more POWER
