Anyone up in NY wanna school a CLK550 owner who claims to have beaten a 211 E55?

Guy claims to have both run dead even with, and beaten (in the same race, go figure ), an 06 E55 from 45-100:

Now he's saying he'll meet up:

Im sure the only way he won was via a bad intercooler pump... damn I hate that excuse too because its always so easy to use when the 55's lose.

Hmm, looks like the lyrics are changing a bit to suit the tune:

That was three days ago. Here's a link to the "How To" page on youtube in case you're having difficulties:

Seems like he's backed away from his initial stance now that he's been made aware of possible IC pump issues, stay tuned....

I beat an sl550 with my 07 legacy gt Cobb stage 2 by about half a car . The owner of the sl couldn't believe it, and it was from a roll because if I raced him from a dig I would have beat him more. The launch on the street is sick. I would abuse it with my E55. He's full of bs.

He probably also thinks that drag radials don't hook any better than normal tires

I am beginning to doubt that he even has one. Says he's got a vid but doesn't post it, and won't post pics of his car...something smells here, and it doesn't smell good!
