Out would be awesome if you could run it in its current state so we could see what gains the mods make. Without a baseline you won't be able to tell

No offense but I'm not interested in dynos. 1/4 mile difference would tell the story better. I would rather have a fast car than one that puts down good dyno numbers. I guess that's just me.

What is wrong with some of you people? Yes, S65's are quick...but from what I can see on dragtimes, the ONLY TWO 65 vehicles ( this includes SL, S, and CL's ) that ran 130+mph traps were running race gas and one of them is renntechs 700+whp CL. The rest aren't any quicker than heavily modded E55's. As a matter of fact...the quickest S65 in dragtimes doesn't do 10's nor does it trap 130mph.
I'm not saying that they aren't quick, but to be so shocked that a decently modded E55 can beat a tune only S65 is just stupid imo.

And whos to say this 55 is trapping anywhere close to 130 mph?? Plus you cant really use 1/4 data to explain this race, because it was on the highway (where the 65 shines). Not to mention he didnt only beat, but he put bus lengths on him.. If it were close and the 55 edged it out by a few cars lengths I could see that..
The point is...forget the numbers....he beat the car and killed him three times and has VIDEO. There is nothing to discuss about this race....yet people insist on figuring out what went "wrong".
