please, let's not start this again.

Cool. Thanks for doing the math,

so now we know the E55 is .43 faster than the E63 LOL, its funny.

You guys dont want me to post , Im out of here. Bye. I will see you guys on the track and make it known there no need to waste everyone's time.


This is my last post on MBWORLD BYE guys, best wishes.

Not meant to start anything, those are harmless, honest words. Please don't take them the wrong way. I am simply stating that times change, like it or not! Regardless of if you are talking about cars, or computers or HDTV's, or whatever. Tomorrow, or the next day or the next week there is going to be something that is better out there.

We've all seen our share of debate and internet-bravado. Shame to lose a contributing member over a RECOUNT. The 55/63/M5 wars are what makes life interesting.

Juicee63; to h_ll with them, who cares about the math they used to munipulate the numbers. They can run, but they can't hide! The accountants at Enron and World Com had similar creativity with their numbers, look where it got them. They can paint it any way they want to, but the 63 times will come down as more of us 63 owners get out there and post some times.

Juicee, I knew my post would **** you off but I did not think it would make you quit. Haha Don't be such a baby..... come back and play. Why can you play with the numbers but I can't?

We all know that the E63 is just as fast as the E55, so take another Ativan and relax.

if you didn't intend to start anything you wouldn't have begun your statement with "Some of these 55 owners are a sensitive bunch. They just can't face the reality...". the pissing matches between 55 and 63 owners were over a while ago so lets just not start it again, passive aggressive or otherwise.

Actually, using the same argument, those numbers would be off as well. Most of the top E55 runs are taken from east coast areas while most of the top E63 runs are taken from west coast. To make the numbers truely representative, we need to take 5 stock E55s and 5 stock E63 to the same track and have one driver make 3 runs in each car, then average out the numbers for each group.

Or to make things easier, take the top 10 E55 runs in the west coast and compare them to the top 10 E63 runs in the west coast

Juicee, don't leave old friend! I just wish this thing would go way between the 55 & 63. Everybody loves their ride so let's just get along as Rodney King once said during the LA riots. Come back old friend!

Yeah, yeah, I know. The goal of my post was only to induce Juciee to show me ten statistical charts, fifteen videos and twelve dynos of why the 63 rules.

The truth is, I love the Juice's passion and I enjoy his presence on our forum. I did not realize that Juciee was at his breaking point.

Juicee is a very fun person, and I truely enjoy getting together with him on the track (and off). He has this great passion for racing and for all high performance cars whether AMGs or not; a passion that he likes to share and spread to other car enthusiasts. And although he holds great respect for many members on this forum, too many people (not you specifically) have trash-talked his 63 and his efforts too many times. Every couple of weeks, a newbie will come on here trash-talk the 63 and start this discussion all over again. Yet time after time, he took everybody's point under consideration, tried to incorporate it on the track, and he constantly tried to expand and grow his knowledge of both cars every single day. He raced his 63 in almost every track available to him here on the west coast and collected as much data possible to share with you guys in an effort to show that the 63 is as fast as the 55 and that weather conditions made most impact between a 63 running 13.0 seconds and a 63 running 11.9 seconds. But more importantly, he tried to demonstrate that the two AMGs were indeed very close in performance and that the 63 was as much fun to race as the E55, but I guess after a while he just got worn down after so many attacks over and over again.

Juicee, I hope you read this and realize everybody on here loves you and we need your presence on the board

I've said it once,I've said it 50 times:Juice63 will ALWAYS be the King Of 63's
He is the sole reason my E63 was featured on Dragtimes,he has had an ongoing rapport with the owner of that site(who happens to own an 11sec E55) and has put the 63 on the performance map.

Take a break Josh,I know how ya feel....

Juicee, let me throw you a line here.

Given that there are so many more E55 runs than E63 runs, it's not statistically valid to compare the top 10 runs for each car. It would be much more valid to compare, say, the top 10% of E55 runs to the top 10% of E63 runs.

If one is asked how he achieved an analysis, then one should not get upset when confronted. I do not think juicy meant it to be misleading though..

What most of the 55k group is implying i think is that the 63 is not a power hick over a 55k and getting the same performance or less for more money does not make sense to them.

But the progress is goowwwd come back juicy! and who knows this new gear box might be what you are looking for! AMG engine with AMG gear box!

After looking again, and doing alot of thinking. I find it absurd that a person claiming to be 100% Bone Stock is running a NON -OEM tire, wider and softer and then claiming "BONE STOCK".

Sorry Enzom,
YOU ARE NOT STOCK,

I will no longer even consider your times when doing the stock comparisons.
Your car, when it runs 11.775 with the 265's only then should it be considered stock on dragtimes.

The entrant has the burden of proving that his car conforms to these Rules by his owner's manual, manufacturer's shop manual, manufacturer's catalogs or other official manufacturer's documentation, which must be in the possession of the entrant at the event if ever available to the consumer from the manufacturer. At a minimum, the competitor must be in possession of the manufacturer's workshop manual. All manuals, catalogs and official documentation must be for non-competition purposes. If protested competitor possess the documentation required by this Section, but that documentation does not include sufficient information on the protested item, the burden shifts to the protesting competitor to prove the item illegal. Failure to provide appropriate manufacturer's documentation regarding vehicle specifications will result in disqualification.

(OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer's -- ed.)

Alternate components which are normally expendable and considered replacement parts (e.g., engine and wheel bearings, seals, gaskets, etc.) may be used provided they are the same type and size as the standard parts and used in the same location

in all fairness, at least enzom has never hidden the fact that he was on ps2's. lets not worry about this and just have fun.

i'm glad to have you back josh!

One post per car is all that should be allowed, your fastest stock, modded and nos run if spraying is all the info you need.

Fiske you listening.

I agree with this.

Should be one time per mod level.

Agreed, but still does not qualify as a stock pass. Once again hard to do analysis when cars listed as stock are not stock

Good point.

Im sure I could have done a more thorough comparison but it was simple enough. It made both cars look way too fast...LOL

I think oldgixxer's 63 has proven that on the same track with very good weather both cars are high 11 sec rides.

My opinion on the matter has definitely changed, the 63 and 55's are very close. Juice has definitely contributed to that and is an asset to MBworld.

PS Juice, I thought you had thicker skin bro.

You always wore me out but you never questioned what I had achieved, I guess that put me over the edge. Thanks for posting this definately means a great deal to me

I agree with Juicee on this...... Enzom's car should NOT be considered 100% stock. Maybe 98% stock, but just NOT 100% stock. I've said this before, but people have ignored it.

Don't get me wrong, I honestly believe that his car is one of the fastest E55s ever made, and that his times are also due to his superior launching skills, but I also believe that if he would've been running on stock conti tires, he would be in the 11.9s to 12.0s just like Oldgixxer.

I am very sure that if Oldgixxer would've used Michelin PS2 instead of the stock continentals, and also used wider tires in the rear (275 instead of 265), then he could've dropped his time by at least 0.1 seconds. So, the 11.95 would've been at least 11.85 seconds.

I'm friends with both Lorenzo&Josh & I respect BOTH of you very much.PLEASE PLEASE lets not get into this,enuff drama here lately

Juicee and I have decided that there is no point in insulting one another over cars. We also agreed that I am much better looking and a better driver.

Just cars, dudes. Just cars.
