Throwing down the Gauntlet

MIR

NOVEMBER 2008

E55 vs E63 same day same track, winner represents the badge and which badge is king of the E class past and present.

I propose 3 side by side passes.

The winner can choose lane, quickest ET, fastest trap without REDLIGHTING determines winner.

Mr.Chicago X ? Enzom? Mr. RFLOW? Who will step forward to rep the old model E?

Hey Juice, are you shipping yours out there?

Just wondering what prices you got for shipping.

Or are you Cannonballing it out to Maryland?

I will likely ship or if too expensive just fly out and drive one of my fellow 63 ers cars. Maybe I can rent a CLS 63 for the day? LOL. Maybe we can rent a big bus and pick you up on the way!!

A bunch of you should look into either renting space or the whole enclosure on an trailer to ship your vehicles out. Freind of mine did it once. Cant remeber how much it cost though. Would be worth it for this event!!!

Yeah I hear ya! I have had some seat time with my 63 at MIR. BB and I will hopefully get several more days of practice in beforehand. I think we are gonna goto capital raceway next weekend to try and get some runs and start improving my times some. Think the weather will be in our favor considering the heat and humidity we are dealing with around here right now, since we are gonna be racing at night time.

I think a heavily modded E55 would easily beat a heavily modded E63, unless there have been a lot of new products for the 63 engine that I havent been around for. I think we should do both stock and modded IMO.

1.Can your West Coast 55 keep pace with an East Coast 55 with similar weight and mods?

well I guess I would be representing the lightly modded 63's on the EC, since as far as power goes I only have ECU and VRP airboxes right now. Hope no one in my class is planning on running NOS. Should be fun either way...

That is just funny to me.
