I have a buddy with a 07 M5 that is coming to the strip. I can't wait! I'm stock right now, so it should be interesting. I will try to video it and post it. I'm going to try to get my exhaust done before next week. I will keep you guys posted.

You Wilmington Guys should head out to the Cars and Coffee this Sunday 11th over at red Robin in Mayfair.
There should be a great turnout.
We need some AMGs out there

9am start time

Trying to figure out if my schedule will enable me to make this.
I've never dragged my car before and I'm dying to line up against my buddys Race craft Mustang. He just Dynoed at 466WRHP and He's talking all kinds of Smack.
I haven't heard great things about this track though. Everyone says they don't prep very well and you can't launch worth a crap.
Trying to decide if it's worth the drive.

I've only been to the dragstrip in Rockingham, once to run. I had a 3000GT then. Hopefully the track will be prepped well. I'm putting on my old rear rims and tires, so I can burn them up. I hope you can make it, though.

They are calling for rain Saturday. 40% chance. If that is the case, we can reconvene for next Saturday.

We had an awesome time at the drag strip yesterday. Only had 1 other E55 that came out, but he was getting ready to leave when I got there. I ran 3 passes. 2 of them was against my buddies '07 M5. Coming to find out that he had an ECU tune and exhaust. No matter, because Sasha still beat him both passes. Can't wait till I get the upgrades done! My best time was 12.9. I will post youtube links when I upload videos.

The track was great yesterday. I had no problems launching. Before my last pass, someone had an antifreeze leak. They cleaned the track, but I found some of it about 200ft down, but she straightened out and I still beat the M by a 10th. I should have my mods done by summer. I will keep you posted when I go again.

We are planning to go back to the track on June 15th. I'm letting everyone know this far in advance, so we all can get our schedules and rides together. I hope everyone can make it. I guarantee you will have a blast!! Hopefully, I will get to meet some of you in June. I will send a reminder the closer we get to June 15th.

I'm not from Charlotte but just bought mine from there. I ran across another silver one like mine with a lip spoiler as I was leaving the Ford dealership. Anyone on here?

Otherwise, I do come down to Summerville from time to time.

Charlotte / Lake Norman meet on Saturday?

Any Charlotte / Lake Norman area E55 / E63 guys want to meet up this weekend (Saturday Dec 28th)? Would be great to see other AMGs and talk mods, performance, maintenance, and where the Highway Patrolmen like to hide on I-77
