Good run.
So the Turbo pretty much pulls ahead by half a car length in the beginning and catches up and then finally slowly passes it.
Good race!
But there's an M6 video against a 996TT also and the both were same in beginning of acceleration and a few seconds later, completedly walks the Turbo with relative ease.
And how would the E55 fare against an M6? Well that doesn't matter. Not even a fair competitor or race.
I even saw the guy's video where it showed the E55 pulling on an E63!
Is that seriously possible?

E55
"They" is me and yes it is stock. I didn't know what to expect as far as results go but yes it was a fun run!
I did a horrible job anticipating the 3rd honk. The runs were not planned out before hand. The 996tt is Hydeaway on this forum. He is a former W211 E55 owner, great guy. Last I heard he was getting Evoms stage 2 on his 996

As I posted in another thread, Josh and I will be running here fairly soon, as soon as the temps come down a bit here in town. We'll be sure to get good video. He said that he took his 996 on a run with a bunch of other P cars and a Ferrari and he said that he was hanging with a modded Carrera GT.
Josh, if you read this, I'm just messin' with you. I don't want to get beat too bad. It's going to be 108 today here in town so I think we should race in about 4 months!
