With the car over heating like it was,and me not letting it cool,and the temperature being over a 100 degree.....like a fool i decided to do it anyway.
We ran from a 40mph role and i let him hit before me.He hit first,i followed,and the car fell on its face.....s/c shut down......tried it again,b/c we were still on the hwy.....same result.We pulled off on the next exit,check my car again.....this time it was really boiling hot.We decided to do it again at a time when it was cooler,also to do a roll on,and from a dig.
On a side bar the M6 is a strong running car...dont take it lightly like i did,and got cocky and underestimate it and run knowing that my car was overheating.
The M6 won.....no excuses ,and we were very sportsman like about it,he was aware that the achelees heel of the E55 was heat...so he has decided to give me a re match when its cooler.
For those of you that was asking ,the M6 is modded and makes 500rwhp,my E55 is a k4 and makes 530rwhp.....we both had gas,but no one was shooting that day.The guy with the M6 is a super great guy,and a good friend of mine.
After the race i ran over a median and busted two rims and tire,and he handled the situation for me ,knowing that i was away from home.
Hopefully i will have my car back on the road by next week.....and get a rematch with the M6.

any way, hope to run them again soon.
see ya,
call me later.

The CLS63 was there also ,the owner said it was bone stock....but even with my dead s/c the car did not seems impressive....maybe b/c of the heat.
Before we ran,we stopped at a restaurant,and the e55 was so hot the radiator was boiling,the cls63 was also hot ,but not boiling,but the m6 was real cool.....you could touch the engine,even with the weather being 100 degree.......i was really impressed on how cool that car was.
Even with my s/c down that m6 is really a beast,it runs really strong.
