What you expect? The guy driving it is so Fhrucking retarded....you put an 80 year old grandmother next to him and he will still loose.

That guy in the E55 is an awful driver.

He doesn't know what he's doing, and lets everyone get the jump on him. I wouldn't really call that a "win".

"The E55 shines from a roll" if that alone doesn't prove that this person doesn't know anything about a E55 I don't know what else does. Inexperience + 3 retards in any AMG = disaster

Thanks for the post. E55's are fast but there is always something faster and the reality is with a few bolt on mods on the LS2 they run nice/real nice/ surprisingly nice and are lights-out/awesome performance cars for the $.
Now, let's be fair on this. The E55 driver was asleep at the wheel off the line every time (however, the kick-down run with the Z28 from a roll was a bit surprising) and each time the E55 was catching the Z28. I ran a guy with a WS6 with a few bolt on from rolls and it was really, really close (the car basically had open exhaust, too). His ran about 12.5 at the strip and my E55 ran 12.1's (stock).
To the credit of the Z28 driver he was really good at driving and launching the car. If I had the Z28 and ran the E55 like that I would be proud!
