2006 E55 AMG
Stage 2 E55 vs. Audi R8 V10

On my way home from work last night I had one of these things do a ricer fly by on me. It sounded insane I might add. As he did the fly by, I jumped on the beast to let him know that I was game.

Before anyone gets excited, that was the most fun we had. I will get pics of it up off my camera phone if someone could host it for me. I looked it up when I got home and it is Audi's race car 5.2 FSI V10 6 Speed Manual supercar making 525HP and around 470TQ and weigh around 3500lbs.

Do you guys think I would have outrun him? I see him in my neck of the woods all the time, and I have a feeling this will be settled pretty soon. See my mods in my sig.

What do you think?? I am sure I am making around 500whp/570wtq give or take a few.

I think he will give you a run for your money. Those cars are light and way more aerodynamic.

I know he will give me a run, but I am making WAYYYYYYY more tq than that car so I am thinking I will jump out in front and stay there.

Way less aerodynamic for the Audi.
The 211 has a CD of .28 and the R8 is .35.

I saw 2 silver ones...I will check again to make sure they are the r10's. There are A LOT of fakers in this area.

It was a mid aged driver, looked to be in his 40's. Definitely an R8 since this was about a month ago. White, coming into the LIE...poor thing never knew what him him. LOL.

Exactly!! So dont get all excited yet guys ... and beating an R8 V8 is not big deal IMO even for a W210 E55!! (Straight line of course)

Well I will post pics of it tonight and you guys can gauge. Does the V10 have any special badging from the V8?

The V10 is a slightly detuned engine version of the Lambo LP 560-4. So it should be slower but by how much... dunno

As for the release date I did some research at the 6speed Audi site and saw that at the earliest, the release date is Q3 2009 as a 2010 model. Anybody with a tangible date?

+1000 I absolutely vaporized an R8 on PCH "the Mexico part of course" It wasn't even close. I was actually irritated I wasted my gas for that run. Ouch, did I say that out loud?
