SleeperX vs. 996 Turbo (modded)
Sorry guys no video this time, but I thought I would share a nice kill story with you guys. As a few other forum members can attest to, I was standing around with the owners of some really nice cars (in an unnamed location) and a guy came over wanting to race a GT2. Actually, he had a Corvette, but he was looking to match up his buddy who had a 996 turbo (with a couple of mods, exhaust, ecu, and a few other things) against one of the GT2s. Being up for the challenge as I usually am, I said, I will race your friend in his 996 Turbo. Now this is the kicker. This guy practically laughed in my face. Mig-E55Rocket, Project C55, AMG_Rider, Morosso help me out here. I believe he said something along the lines of 'E55 oh come on, we want to race something comparable. A 2 door sports car, or something like that'. To make a long story short, I raced his friend twice and showed him just how comparable an E55 is to his 996 turbo. Although his car was awd, I pulled on him about two car lengths right out of the hole. We race from a roll and from a complete stop. Each time, I easily jumped out 2 car lengths on him. Needless to say, I think they discovered a new found respect for the 4 door sedan.

Yes Sir!!! I saw this with my own eyes...hehehe, but never the less frank showed him much respect and spanked his 996TT behind , I believe they will think twice before pairing up with the 4 Door Beast. I was the driver along with my brother and frank's girlfriend, and let me tell you did we follow it all the way to the end. I just wish I would have been on a chopper man, Dammit!!, that's it next time I will bring the coast guard!, lol!
Sleeper- Mad props on representing for the 55 and not only that, for not backing down on it!, I will be joining your clan soon, lol!

I thot it was 3.8 and 3.7 for stick and tip respectively, for 997... The 996 is 4.1 (??) ... and tip on that is slower by 1 tenth.

Guys, I don't know for sure if the 996 that I raced was tiptronic or manual. I think it was a manual transmission though because he was revving it up right before the launch. David, did you he tell you that it was tiptronic? Sorry guys, there was no video footage. The original deal when I raced this guy was that we would both run with someone in our cars. When we got to the race location, he showed up by himself, so I unfortunately asked my girfirend/videographer to get in Mig's car. What a mistake that was! Had she stayed in my car we would have had a very nice video to post. I dont think he would have kept up with me even if I had my girlfriend and one or two other people in the car.

John could not believe what you did to his 911 turbo. he said you mashed him bad out the hole and you were gone. He wants to run with the stck rims and tinker with the car a lil more. I still think you will have the upper hand.
You still have to stay on your toe's because you know these guys are gonna come back and be ready. I know them!

Frank ,you were the talk of the town even hours after we left. Like I said if guys I know who normaly run don't want to challenge you, It's a great sign of respect.

Guys I was so proud of my LIL project W202 C55. She's a real monster and has been the talk of many conversations.
Runs:
W202 C55 vs W202 C36TT(363rwhp@7psi)(He called me out!) Results:W202C55 loses first run barely by a fender but beats him decisively on 2nd run(he raised boost to 11psi) especially after C36TT blows up :rolf We ran well well over the (?) mark. Both runs I murdered him out the hole.
W202C55 vs Two E46 M3's modded
Results: Murdered them BOTH!!
W202 C55 vs AMG E63
Results:first and second run he gets murdered out the hole and does not catch me until over the (?) mark +10. This guy slept on my car and initially told me "not to waste his time". I GAVE HIM THE SURPRISE OF HIS LIFE.
I can't see these cars running the AMG E55's in the 1/4 mile. As the speeds got higher he passed me.
Sleeper X if you have the AMG E63 run and the AMG C36TT turbo on video please post.
