2004 E55
I don't think I'll do the long tube headers or the Cams. The race from a dig wasn't good because i didn't launch it properly. We did another one after that and I pulled instantly (watch video below at :49secs) and the z06 stopped because of no traction. The race from 60mph i was in 2nd gear.

All in all, it was a lot of fun, no haters involved! haha

Nice runs thanks for sharing. I think you did great considering racing in 90 degree weather. Its a 4 door luxury mercedes sedan keeping up well with 1 of americas best built muscle car. Re-tune / tb and 40 degree weather and that Z06 will have some serious problems.

seems like in his video you did have some better runs. He did jump on the horn alot and your were playing catch up . he still would have beat you on most runs but by alot less and I promise you , alot of Z06 drivers area going to be freaking out when you hang on their rear end. what would happen if you were honking and jumped on the 3rd horn , I think he would have lost a few. good runs.

S550
Question about doing a burnout, I don't have an E55, but I do have an S550. I can do a pretty good burnout with my weekend toy, a viper, but am having trouble with doing one with my S. I have 2 baby seats in the back, should I remove them, do you think that would help with a burnout? I think they help with traction with the added weight close to the axle.
TIA.
