The first time I ever brought her to the track (after three months of ownership), she ran a 12.07 @ 116.75. It just took me a while to learn how to launch.
I would bet that if someone gave me their E55 for a rental, and assuming that their tires are in decent shape, I could squeeze an 11 second run out of it. The car really responds to being driven hard and works best (IMO) with a careful launch. I'm not sure if there are any other stock E55's coming to the Atco rental in December, but I would love to make a couple of runs with one and see if I can't get it into the 11's.

I don't doubt you would get better times at the track than most. You are doing something right by getting your 60' times so low. I have my doubts that you would hit almost 119mph trap with a different stock e55, I don't think anyone else that I know of has come close. Most modified 55s don't trap this fast.

enzom,
Awesome times man! I think the '05s are all freaks. I took my car to the strip earlier this year too, and unfortunately with my Yokohama's I was only able to must a 1.81 60' - but my 1/8th MPH was very similar to yours (92.78mph). The 1/4 trap equipment was off that day so the MPH on my slip is wrong, I only have the 1/8th MPH. I have seen most '03-'04s stay in the 88-89mph range and 113-115, but the '05s are all like 91-93mph 116-118. I am not sure why.

Just got back from Atco with a stack of timeslips all in the 11's.
Best run was an 11.775 @ 118.69 mph (1.710 60' time)
Also ran:
11.801 @ 118.34 (1.716 60' time);
11.805 @ 118.57 (1.713 60' time);
11.806 @ 118.48 (1.712 60' time);
11.808 @ 118.79 (1.720 60' time);
11.817 @ 118.20 (1.716 60' time);
11.824 @ 118.14 (1.719 60' time); and
11.824 @ 118.17 (1.720 60' time)
A bunch more 11.8's (20 runs in the 11.8's). I will post some slips later.
These runs were at various points in the day with various fuel loads. Track was too cold early on, but it warmed up. I hot-lapped to keep it sticky.
According to Ranger's weather station, the temp was 52 - 54 degrees, the DA ranged from neg 200 to neg 300, but the humidity was over 60%. Not too many racers were happy about the weather, even with the negative DA.
I think my car now holds the record for the fastest bone stock E55 on street tires. So that it is perfectly clear - I am running PS2's in 275 width in the rear, so the tire is slightly wider than the 265 standard widths. But I'm pleased.

YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enzom congrats man, you are shocking the WORLD with this time in stock trim.
so consistant and steady, your car is bullet proof. 60 ft times are ridiculous.
what a great day. Is this your fastest run ever?
