Done and Jangy has concurred. Ill create a dummy account for this event and when you two are ready Ill PM you the number. Once both parties have made their deposits and the ACH has cleared I will update and we will proceed to the challenge.
Any interest earned (not much) will go the winner.
Two men enter, one man leaves. J vs. J and may the best J win.

I wonder if both gentlemen would be willing to weigh their cars the day of the race.
I'm curious to know the weight difference.

'06 E55, '05 SLK55, a few others
Actually, there are a few stage 5 E55s running 11.40s to 11.60s on a good track. I think the two cars will actually be very close in timing, and the race will be decided by the driver; more specifically, by the 60' and reaction time and whoever launches their car better.
However, Jim's car is becoming increasingly strong, and keeps on getting quicker and faster, and soon will be in the low 11s range WITHOUT nos. If MHP's TCU really works and unlocks the torque limits, then Jcart's car should easily be in the 11.20 range with a good launch.

i say best out of 3 races...let be real gentlemen...1 race winner take all? Not fair. One race...any factor could come into play...with 2 out of 3 races, you have a chance to rectify the situation should something unforeseen happens.

Plus we dont see hardly, if any, 55 owners pressing the issue against BS 63's. Its always against the 211's

DO NOT TAKE MY POST AS FLAME BAIT, IT'S JUST DISCUSSION.
While I give full credit to Jim's car for being fast, where Jim deserves the most credit is putting the right mods together to make his car ET well and not just trap well. Truth is though, he traps between ~118 and ~121mph, and that's just not a speed outside the realm of a good headers/cooling/ecu/pulley/intake'd 55, on an equivalent tire. Now, I understand the DA for the day Jim made his passes was pretty poor, but truth be told we have DA like that here in Chicago most of the summer.
For reference, I did a 12.1 @ 118mph with my current '05, bone stock, on a day that would not have had a good DA. I will note that my '05 is one of the strongest stock cars I've seen, so I am NOT the norm. CPT has dyno'd over a dozen stock 55 cars and no one has beaten me. Adding 3mph is not unreasonable with the mods mentioned above, which I will have done hopefully soon. I'm NOT challenging Jim to a race, and I'm NOT saying the 55s are better/whatever. I'm just SAYING that Jim did a good job of getting a fast setup to hook well and it's translated to a car that does very well on the drag strip.
Jangy may very well be able to keep up with Jim's car in terms of power, but to beat him he's also going to have to put down a good launch, something that looks like Jim's got down pat. This is also assuming that Jangy's car is running right, cause god only knows that there seems to be as many 55s out there not running right as there are ones running right.
Good luck to both of you, I will say I think $10k is really silly, regardless of how deep your pockets are. You guys should take it down to $5k and donate the rest to some worthy cause, maybe to the charity of the other guy's choice. This is just a drag race, and even if one guy wins, it's not like he's not gonna be a lot faster in 6 months. We've got S600s running 10.30s for christ's sake.
Just my $.02

Jangy, we need to get this in gear if it's gonna happen. I've already contacted Vic55 and discussed transfer of funds with him. Remember, I live just outside Chicago, Mapquest says it's 1755 miles from my door to LVMS. I need to have my hauler on the road no later than 5:00a.m. Wednesday morning to ensure my driver arrives by Friday morning.

I just need to check with my accountant to see if I can write off those kinds of charitable donations

Let me first start out by saying that Jangy set the $$$wager. Furthermore, I would not be so inclined to go to all the trouble and expense to pay one of my drivers OT plus fuel to run out to Vegas for much less than that. It's gonna cost me nearly $1000 in fuel charges round trip, plus another $1000 to pay my driver. I'll be into it for $2000.00 before we pull the car off the trailer. Jangy's only expense gonna be maybe 1.5 tanks of fuel each way, maybe $200.00 or so.

It maybe worth the trip to come out there just to party with you afterwards
