Nice video i found...
The E55 races start just before the 3 minute mark.

The Cobra and AMG are so close its insane. Because the E55 was just mashing the throttle.. the "kick down" lag held it up a bit... but for what was supposed to be the camera car...... didn't do to bad.

or you can just downshift to the right gear and no "kick down lag" as you say

Yup... Good group of people. I'm not in there "club".. But I hang out there quite a bit when in town. I usually bring a 69 TT Camaro though.
