E55 RUSS

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)

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...

E55 vs M5 with Euro LC

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 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...

Russ, thats the fastest M6 yet if i am not mistaken.


Anyways, thank you for the videos! I am glad you guys had fun!

OzE55

Looks like you had a lot of fun......congrats.
Your car sound really good!

Torquey55

Thanks for the videos, that was good stuff. I'm sure Gustav will be chiming in with his take on this.

ProjectC55

I wish he could but MBworld banned him unfortunately.

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.

Dogshine

ya, videos are great

chiromikey

there's absolutely no way that this 13.1s run is the fastest an m6 has gone in the 1/4.

DerekFSU

I ran 12.59 in my M6 back when I first got it.

SaMaS

Rudyrono

phatmitzu

E55 RUSS

The fastest M6 in Russia...

E55 RUSS

Guys dont forget about our crappy track and weather conditions...

Other time in better track, with better weather conditions in official Russia Drag racing championship...stock M6 with LC did 12.3 !!!

E55 RUSS

No one is going to stand there and wait for ME ...

I will post this at M5Board

DBrasco

Nice vids! Especially the last one By the way that "russian dragster" is a freggin rocket! Crazy launch!

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

E55 RUSS

You can put 2 turbos in M6 and it will make 810 HP but its will cost $$$$$$$....and not sure if it last long...

but its another topic...

cicbenz

nice vids, your E55 sounds incredible man

chiromikey

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.

E55BKS

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.

ProjectC55

I know your joking! LOL! Stck with the 55 for those kinda times my bro.

Efivefive

Yes, but you are a Guru when it comes to Drag racing!!!....so you don't count!!!LOL j/k

Just out of interest have you had any work done on the M6??

E55 RUSS

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
