Which "rain date" works out better for you guys?

Sunday 27 April

Sunday 4 May

Saturday 10 May
I think May 4th would be best and second May 10th. It may not threaten snow but it may threaten rain on either day but weather should be in the 60s..

I know, I know but it just takes one little, baby, harmless rain drop to stop production.

I prefer the 4th or the 10th as a rain date. I am going to have to feed the 911 another Zo6 or something if it rains Saturday. Anybody got some extra food?

please say NO RAIN, NO SNOW, NO WIND, NO PROBLEMS, again,

do not screw this up guys. Oh yeah do this while eating or sipping tea or coffee, or beer.


no rain, Marcus wants a piece of Wayne, he said " Wayne is done" and Greg is taking the 55 badges and sending them to the six three king in New Jersey until they can be reclaimed.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo..

please no rain

It's going to take more than the mods I saw getting installed to keep up. His car did make good power on the rollers.

And there's the banana I shoved in the tailpipe...

Ain't this somethin? I don't even have to talk smack, all the smack is being spoken for me.

I'm not looking at breaking any records or beating up on anyone... I am getting Stage 1 done at CPT before the event but not necessarily FOR the event... hell I haven't even decided which AMG I am bringing...

Air temp of 42 degrees...the 55's will be running strong if thats the case, but the track surface may actually be too cool if there is no sun.

Wayne knows what my '05 put down, and these are on the infamous heartbreak dyno, aka the Dyno Dynamics. I've got nothing to hide bro, when I said 560tq, I meant it. Although, to be quite honest that's more inline with what my '03 made, my '05 made more.

Looking forward to Stage 1 numbers.

Wayne? 560??? comon man FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY RWTQ stock its rated at 516 on a dyno you lose 13-15% puts you max 460? or your car is actually making 100 more ft lbs or tq than the 55 and 160 ish more than the 63. I read all the stock 55 dyno's at DC and at drag times nobody comes close to 560 in an E55 maybe you are talking bout your 65? Sorry I just am mystified

Ahhh, but you don't understand young grasshappa. Promise not to tell anybody but I learned from a subi forum that if you apply Rain X to all four tires, the car actually does not feel the rain and drives on rails. Shhhh......
