I'm sure you could, I am not a drag racer...put some turns in there and it's a different story. If I'm only turning 12.20's in my modded 63 and you are turning high 11's in a stocker, that's all driver. You may be able to attribute .100 to elevation or conditions, but even factoring that I am .150 off the pace of your record run.
Props to you!

Speaking of corrections, will you guys let me correct a crappy 1.90 60ft time? LOL! say down to a 1.70? Ya, I ran a 12.19 with a 1.90 60ft move....I think if we corrected that I would be in the M-B World 63 record books.

the r8 is such a piece of ****. 130k? no way. i wouldnt buy one for 100k. hell i wouldnt buy one for 80k
rs4 at 70k preforms just as well, and has more use.
looks great. ehh. i dont think its anything special. the 2 tone paintjob looks crappy as hell.
paying 130k for that car is like paying 90k for a nissan skyline. its like dude you just paid 90k for a freaking nissan. retarded.

but just to add something, the people with the high records are not normal drivers and know what they are doing and in which weather to do it in. Others just have practiced so much that they also got the experience to make things happen.
Bottom line, its not all in the car, respect to all you good drivers out there

2007 E63
Torque = better low end, HP = better top end
E55 = low end grunt = sligtly better 1-100MPH
E63 = Big Horsepower = noticably better above 100MPH
Let's talke about 1/2 mile or 0-150 apposed to 1/4 mile and 120MPH - E63 all the way
Also, let's not forget the E55's have had the benefit of 4+ years of tuning experience, compared to less then 2 for the E63.
Lastly, don't foget why the AMG engineers went away from the blower and to natural big displacement - RELIABILITY! Only time will tell, but I suspect the 63's will be far more reliable.
Anyone want to race?

don't know why u started this thread since u don't even own either car, anymore?
i don't really gives a rat's *** that the E55 is few tenths (here or there) faster than the E63 in 1/4 mile.
but if i did, maybe i should start a thread about a E63 beating a E55 to the speed limiter
now who's the body builder of sedans
these "i'm faster, he's faster" comparisons are stupid and childish.
just my $.02.

Another member and me just wanted to stir up the pot a bit (things around here have been kinda slow) with a time tested "get someone's goat" kinda topic, we also wanted to see how long it would take before someone got a bit nasty and won the boobie prize...sorry it had to be you.
