Two front seats and braille battery alone saves 220lbs

To be honest, the best part about that whole weekend was having the car in dyno mode. It is soooooooooooo much fun, going sideways is as easy as dropping panty's on prom night.

Nice runs! You have 10s in the car with no interior for certain, your holeshot time was 2.1 with slicks it looked like, LOL thats crazy.

What was the DA at the time of the runs? Also would be interested to see what the 1/4 would be in full trim with your mods.

Not sure what you are looking at homey, but my my 60ft was 1.589 on my pb run. That was the ZR1's 60ft.

DA was 1256, that will be the one and only time I will gut the interior for the track. Rear seats and catback will be going back in the car. I will be running racing seats permanently upfront along with the ccw drag pack I just picked up. In this state the car came in at 3850lbs on the track scale. Once I have the new interior setup in, I will take pics. Off course it wont be for everyone, but there is something about been able to legally driving to the track, run epic times, and then drive home.

Do not take this in the wrong way. Your car is amazing. That said, racing seats (permanently) in a E55...i give you credit...but wow!!! There are a lot more cars out there that can go faster for less. An E55 to me ( just my opinion) is a car where you can quietly blow the doors off a corvette, pick up the groceries, and then go to dinner and have the valet park it. I applaude all you guys for the for what you have done for this platform...its really unbelieveable, but next you will have wind up windows and no a/c. To me, something is just inherently wrong with a street driven gutted E55 with open exhaust and a racing seat.

WOW 1200 DA running 11.1 !!!!! That is a legit 11 second E55, Imagine in -900 DA what that car would hit! Probably low 10s!

Nice work!
