With half your mods, I put at least 10 cars on a stock E63 in a 20-120 mph run and it was getting worse the farther we went. Almost as bad for a stock E55. Still, I would have given good money to see the SL guy's face.
I was being modest with the 5 or 6 car lengths.

Nicely done Ed. You guys on that part of town get all the action. All I ever get is whole lot of Nissan Z's & Infinity G's wanting to play.
