Santa clause is real only if your on whatever you were taking at the time you destoryed a frc vette. why not get a vert c5 and then put your bodykits on, and maybe drop in a built ls7 prob would have saved you some dough?

Just test drove a C63 at my local dealership.
Awesome car, handles great, beautiful exhaust note.
I'm confident I could take one in my old E55.

Not a recent pic, she is in the shop getting some work done on the motor. Since then the wheels have been powder coated flat black.

His car is indeed an American Mucsl car. It is a Ford mustang, full out race car. no interior, cage, etc. I believe he had to hit 9s just to get his license. I don't understand it all, but if he does come may I join him? I am so down to sitting around getting wasted and talking smack, especially in a place like Colorodo.

p.s., I love my E55. That is why I got the '06, Greg is just a friend.
Come on out any time especially during ski season! I've got a house in the mountains and we can talk cars and hit the slopes.

Jangy is right; I was talkin' sh_it as I have found most people followers of the computer chair consensus. I can say based on my personal experience, not web experience, that the 63 is faster thru the 1/4. Now I don't really care one why or another as the 63 gets me back and forth to work. I have driven the 55 and the available torque low in the rpm range is much more fun to drive than the 63. All I can say is the 55 will win an 1/8 mile race anytime, not the 1/4. I don't want to hear about the times posted here or there as I said based on my personal experience.

G55K - I would love to run at the track. My track car runs into the high 8's. However at your elevation I think mid nines. Perhaps you would consider Phoenix September 26-28. It's a PSCA event and a lot of fun. Don't misinterpret my post as arrogant I was merely stirring the pot.

Nothing wrong with stirring the pot.

If you have the time I'd really like to hear more about your drag car. It sounds awesome.

Phoenix on the 26th sounds like fun. The temp actually drops to about 350F in September, doesn't it?

They are going well. Getting ECU update, cooling, exhaust, and TCU done now. It is getting done and then i'll look to get some real numbers. So glad all the black soot is done...

I have raced both E63 and C63 in the last 2-3 weeks and C63 was definetly quicker.
