Man, you better hope he gets a poor start! That thing is heavy, but it has about 83 more horses. You'll most likely get em at the start, due to his all wheel drive bogg down, but after that......see ya!!! You need to secretly K&N, exhaust with an X pipe and SL55 snorkel. You might stand a chance with a perfect start. Hope you get em! Keep us posted

Motor Trend pulled a 12.9 @ 110 out of an '05. I'm guessing you'll be even or slightly behind at the launch and then reel him in and pass by the end of the quarter.

Try it out... Who cares if you win or lose.

There will always be someone slower than you and also someone faster.

rolling you win for sure, tried many times with them. It's only off the line that they might get an edge on you, but you will pull him so long as your car is healthy and tires provide grip

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
Their starts can be pretty impressive, but from a roll you will have them.

They can spool turbos on the brakes when they start and the AWD just catapults that car....

Also they can gain an extra 50-60 horses on a tune only very easily....

Think even if he is chipped and if you stage 2 modded, from a roll you should have him.... from a dig would be pretty interesting esp if you get the triangle.

03 e55 amg
Im getting my rear brakes fixed and im going to do an oil change & add k&n's

I think its best to go on the roll then at low speeds where he is all ready moving but slow so he cant use his 4wd i have street slicks so i will not really spin ones im on the movie i have the rear tire pressures at 28psi good or NO?

It also depends on how much room you have to race. The Conti GT should be able to hit 198mph. So if you are stock, you should easily beat him to 155mph.... but once you hit the governor he will eventually sail right on by you. Make sure the race is to under 155mph and you should be ok (provided you don't botch the start against the Conti's AWD).

Yeah you'll take him without issue as long as your intercooler pump is healthy. Bring a camera

I say that you will get the jump on the Bentley, but he will probably run you down on the top end. But we will never know until someone tries.

You'll win. I beat the snot out of Bentley's from Rancho Santa Fe all the time. All thought it took a long stretch of freeway to run down a new M3 today.

A stock 03 GT you should be able to beat, as others have stated... Considering how heavy they are, it does put up a little bit of a challenge though... Although I love my E55, I will challenge any stock E55/E63 in my SuperSports...
