E55 GTR Zo6 911 Turbo

What a weekend. I took her out after a 6 week sleep (snow and rain) and had a great two days. I drove my buddy to Nissan to order his GTR. More people were interested in my car than the GTR! Its fun to have people like the car but it does get exhausting to answer the same questions over and over. Then I was able to test drive the GTR. Man that thing is quick. I like the performance but I definitely could not drive it as a daily. Seemed very hard on the body but it was a short ride.

Then yesterday I took a 2 hour drive on the Turnpike and had some fun. Noticed a new z06 up ahead and had to play. Caught up and moved to the middle lane to let him see and hear what I was driving. I heard the gear drop and I did the same. Off we went. I kept up with him up to about 130 then backed down. Sure enough a blacked out 911 turbo wants to join in the fun. No racing but just a few bad *** cars having fun. She definitely got a workout and it makes you truly understand why you love the E55.

With his mods he should be hanging with a C6 ZO6.

Against stock C6 Z06's from the line and a low roll not only do I hang I pull a tad on them until the top end where they regain a slight edge. C5 Z06 are easy if they are stock. Hopefully with a new E/C tune things will get even better.My current mods are similar to the OP. Adding the Killer Chiller soon as well.

It was brand new with temp tag still on it. We were not racing but he could not lose me. It was just a fun ride.

There's something very special about a 2-ton, 4-door, 5+ year old sedan giving these race-geared coupes a run for their money.
