My 0-160MPH-0 run in 1 mile on a CLOSED Road - Video - Prepare Yourself :)

Behold the power of the beast. I do believe I can official say I have a fast car as I think 0-160MPH-0 in 1 mile (well .9 actually) is pretty quick. Traction control continues to blink through 70 MPH.

This was on a closed road of course.

I LOVE MY //////AMG E55!!! See mods in sig.

Feel like throwing a party now.

Thanks for watching!

I've got the exact same setup...except a 168 Kleeman... Floored fabs...EC HE..Jerry tune... Oh...and instead of the Johnson pump I went with the new MB Bosch one... but pretty much identical. For fun, I recommend putting in QTP electronic cutouts behind the headers...

Your 55 boogies...but with the dumps open, it sounds like this:

And then flick the switch and it's back to incognito... :-)

Thanks for the info about the cutouts. I'm searching on them now but any links/recommend installs/installers would be helpful!

I would love the idea of flipping a switch on making it super loud.

Thanks again.

looks amazingly fun! Injectors/ fuel rail should be your next upgrade.

Yeah...fuel rail and injectors for sure... I bought a 175 from Jerry and we were putting it on ... but the pulley wobbled and I didn't like it. So I went back to my Kleeman 168. But...as we were doing it...Jerry was slightly concerned that without rails and injectors, I'd be in the danger zone. I highly recommend you looking at that. But then again, I'm one to lean to the "safe" side

As far as the cutout go, search the E55 forum. Chawkins came up with the idea...I put it into effect. :-)

QTP oval cutouts...the switch is hidden - wired into my storage box under my seat...my favorite mod period!!!

I had the guys at Buckhead Imports Performance do the install.

Thanks guys appreciate the advice here. It was nice and cool which helps on WOT runs/fueling issues I believe but I won't make a habit of this.

Cool!

I could almost hear the adrenaline in your voice at the end... Must have been a rush trying to haul that car back down from 160 before the road ran out on you!

Fixed camera mount next time, and both hands on the wheel!

Thanks everyone the the commments! I'm not sure I'll do this again because it was a bit hairy the end braking like crazy ( I to pull it down from 160 MPH to 0 in about .3 of a mile - Red Brakestuff pads rock!) and doing it one handed probablly was't the best idea, but it all ended well as I've said the road is closed after dark so no laws were broken.

Thanks again glad you enjoyed the video and now you know my license plate (Look to the left of your screen) ain't lying. When I get my S65 and tune it, I think GONEIN3 might be next!

Alex

That was fast! I think you're the first person to do 0-160-0 at a munitions test site.

No munitions I promise you. It's a perfectly straight/flat one mile road that leads into a state part that closes after dark. They don't test weapons there, at least to my knowlege!

It's about 1 mile from my house and I call it my private drag strip, especailly after dark.

During Thanksgiving with the father in law in town I let him drive the beast on this road, ***** out, and he loved it! So the E55 can make your in laws like you more I also asked his permission before asking his daughter to marry me which helped.
