What I would like to know is how in the world do you find everyone to race you lol. I want to race a CTS-V and even went on their forum. After watching this video its obvious that the CTS-V would have walked the E55 hard but I want to see it happen to my E55 because I'm 100% sure my 55 is healthy.

That's a strong car bro, did you guys do any runs from a dig? what times have you run in a 1/4 (if you have done so) has that E55 ever visited the track? and if so what time of times and et did it run?

After the 3rd run he said something was wrong, not exactly sure what but that his SC'r was off and that he had to wait a bit for it to come back on, we didn't do anymore runs after that. Evidently that CTSV and E55 are even up to 80 after that the CTSV pulls away.

I raced a member here with a C63 and a modded 335i with my failing IC pump and again when I replaced it and the outcome was much different in favor of my E55. I would tell him to definetly get it replaced if you know the guy. It's a $150 fix.
Anyway love the videos as usual and your car is hitting people by surprise man

Thanks man, we did not do any runs from a dig. I have not hit the track yet, but managed a 10.8, 60-130, and a 118MPH trap on the Vbox at 500' above sea level, around 65 degrees, in decent conditions and a great launch I think I can hit high 11's. Not sure on the E55 at the track, I will ask, we all plan on going soon though.

Nice M, but 45k in mods in a E55 would result in one heck of a machine also.

This is exactly what happened to me when I had a failing IC pump. It did make a huge difference because the car is not running at full potential.
I raced a member here with a C63 and a modded 335i with my failing IC pump and again when I replaced it and the outcome was much different in favor of my E55. I would tell him to definetly get it replaced if you know the guy. It's a $150 fix.

.Drew's car is quick, the E55's 5-speed auto can't be compared to the 7-speed DCT. It makes a bigger difference than most people think.
If anything, the E55 was at least running fine for the first run...right?

The 6MT made 424 whp on a dynopak, and the DCT the one in the link made 432whp on a DJ.

Based on Vbox times, if you put a lot of stock in that, I would guess the 6MT stroker is close with me, but a DCT stroker should pull away nicely on me, but certainly not on a well modded E55, IMHO. It would need FI to keep up.

Yea but then you see a video like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_zV0...eature=related and everything we know about gearing goes out the window. Kidding aside, E55s are all over the board in terms of performance. You could be racing 12-flat or high-12 second stock E55 at anytime. Gotta give the M car alot of credit especially with the way it stayed fairly close to the CTS-V. That's one strong M3.

I didn't do any comparo runs stock vs. stock with a 6MT, but here's a few against 6MT's that have more mods and made more power than me.
This one made 398whp on a DD's
