Agree w/what you said, nothing to hide in the car regarding performance mods and pretty much whoever was there could see what you had. Honestly, i'm quite surprised to see how nice/kind the members on here i have met in person are vs cocky/arrogant. Oh, forgot that we dont drive BMWs, but Mercedes!
Plus 100. Everyone was great there, even the non-Mercedes guys. A couple came up to me and said they never knew a Mercedes could be that fast, referring to dodger just running another 10 second pass.

So is it safe to put the "wide open headers reduces back flow thus hp" argument to rest??

That sum beetch was wide open headers correct?

Thread is getting super long so vid repost for those that wanna relive history.

Well, only the people that leave my bedroom with a hitch in their giddy-up, call me that.

Thanks for the accreditation. Honored to just have been a very small cog.

E55 destroys record -10.59 pass-
Congratulations on setting a new record !

Were these passes made with two child seats in the back, like last time ?

Also I want a complete list of your mods, SSN, DOB and middle name if you don't mind, its for an art project so no worries.

To lowpro, BOR, TTM, OE, and everyone else involved in this - HUGE PROPS.

Been around this forum since DerekFSU got us all interested in what these cars can do, but it is the tone and camraderie that comes through from all in this thread that makes me truly miss the AMG community and will no doubt bring me back from the dark side.

Serioulsy - you guys rock - miss you all!
