Whoops

Ok that is the other E55, too many silver cars, LOL, good one VIC.

This is Shawn's E55 he ran some sub 12 second passes as well. And also recorded a 1.8 60 ft. I just loved the squat. sorry for the mistake,

Who's car is that? As VIC knows, I have a fetish for being able to lift the front end and that is no stock E55. I can almost guarantee an LSD and some boost (pulley, etc).

Unreal what the drive train takes on these cars. That is just an insane amount of torque.

Just a miracle that we are not snapping half shafts like twigs. These cars are just incredible.

We need to have a "first one to pull at least one front tire" contest. That's gotta be pretty darn close even if she's a mm or 2.

That was Shawn's e55. 295 bfg drag radials,evo stg 1,and Johnson Cm30 pump.He was the first 55 between us that got into the 11's.11.93 at 116 I believe.Nice guy,but I dont think he hangs out here on the boards.

I agree on the shafts part.Its the sub frame mounts on the rear that break first.

As for pulling the front wheel....never gonna happen on one of these tanks!

just one of the reasons why AMG's ride is softer than M's.. better "out of the hole" power delivery.

I wonder how some of the M boys will do if they went to a soft coil over....

or those modded 335's.. (maybe they could use some softer suspension during drag runs)
