who's ruining the rep of modded E55s?

chiromikey

nice car!

we've all got stories and videos that show both outcomes so it doesn't really matter much. as they say, "any given day...".

E55BKS

Nice M6...I would love to see some 1/4 times.

Does anyone here have those rims on there car?

SSM AMG

ZO6 eater LOL. The rims are HRE's.

Where do you see something about a modded E55? I just see an M6

SLK55R

put it this way my friend has a cls63 and when we ran with ecu and exhaust we would run neck and neck 1st and 2nd gear and at the end of third i would have at least a car length if that and fourth for sure 1-2 car lengths. but now in 1 and second i pull a car length and by the end of third two to three car lengths and at the end of fourth four to five. it's a beast.

i also raced my friends fully modded e55 "headers, pulley, cams, throttle body, straight pipes ecu and and 2nd gear pull i got him by 1/2 a car length, 3rd a car plus some and fourth two car lengths. he claims his car dynos 540 at the wheels "i'm not sure i believe it because my car should have not beaten him that bad. but as you've seen the kleeman e55 against the m6 the m6 was very strong in the top end.

Is that the "modded" E55 is barely faster than a stock CLS63.

id like to see it eat my z06 or any z06 for that matter

+1. Utter B.S. I ran a new M6 from a freeway roll when my car was still bone stock and got him by a couple of cars to 110+. A "heavily modded" 55 would have blown me off the road. Maybe he ran a C5.

Looks nice....

6.3AMG

faster then a ZO6? those guys are dreaming.

chiromikey

think about it...hp and gear box advantage goes to m6 while the weight advantage goes to z06. so with "the average z06 driver" i think a lightened and modded m6 vs bone stock c6 z06 would be a race that could go either way.

way2evil

wow

05VENOM

Exactly..until I see a time slip or real world numbers it is all hear say

PS..Yes..the Z06 is the benchmark nowadays for speed. Until the supercharged LS2 Corvette hits the street (aka
Z07)

TopGun32

from Gustav's videos

a tuned M6 and tuned Z06 are pretty close, but the Z06 pulls..

The guy probably does have an M6 than can keep up with a stock Z06.. but chances are that you wont' find Z06 stock..

ItalianStallion

You mean supercharged LS7, right?

And that car won't be a benchmark, it'll just be the car that nobody even brings up when comparing cars because it will be virtually unbeatable.

I’d love to see it hook up from a dig
But as you stated if its anything like the new ZO6
But then again I fail to see why people compare our AMG’s to the likes of the ZO6. Our cars are not designed bottom up to be sport cars, theirs are. Apples and oranges I believe, is the phrase commonly used.
(Cost, purpose, need, and usage) those are what I go by

LS2. Totally different motor from the LS7

ItalianStallion

Oh ok. From what I've been hearing...the LS2 engine is being replaced by a new LS3 engine (436 horsepower) and the new Z07 is going to have a supercharger version of the LS7 engine.

I'm sure that Chevy will find a way (and so will driver's like Ranger) to get the power down. If Ranger got the Z06 into the 10's, maybe this car (with DR's and all) can break into the 9's? Probably not but very very low 10's are definitely possible. And these cars are freaks, so who knows?

The negatives of this car: Its hard to justify spending 100 grand on a Chevy.
Positives: Fastest car in the world for only 100 grand, period.

I bet Chevy will have no problem selling these cars.

AMGcrazy

I understood that the "Z07" will have a supercharged version of the lower displacement LS3.

05VENOM

That is correct. The LS7 motor in the up coming Z07(or whatever they call it) will NOT be a supercharged Z06 motor(the LS7). I believe it will be a supercharged 6.2 Liter.
