Talking TTM E55 vs. M6 (one of my favs)

Still one of my favourite vids along with the other one below it, DA BEAST creaming the cream puff

Whoever is driving the E55 likes it raw, the way all these beasts should be unwinded

Sounds absolutely disgusting I am guessing you guys drive in manual mode when trying to take off real quick and the 1/4 mile or am I wrong?

No, auto but downshift to the gear you need to be in (most likely 2nd) if you are about to run someone so you don't have the delay of the car needing to do the downshift when you floor it.

I would love to know the exhaust setup, but if i had to guess, i would say kleeman mids, offroad x and 63 cans.

Kleemann headers to TTM built 3"straight pipe through bullet resonators to the stock mufflers. The guy that I built the car for was a big time street racer and they would do pulls to 165+ and always off of a roll.

No cut outs either. Had a K2 when it came in for a TTM 82mm TB Kit and that was when he decided he wanted the exhaust done from the headers back. He had already replaced the factory resonator with straight pipes and that is why I put in a pair of bullet resonators.

The other car in the video is a BMW M6 that TTM built and that is still #1 on drag times and the only one in the 11's!

I drive my friend's M6 all the time and I can say I'd take one in a heartbeat over an E55. The V10 sound is intoxicating.

I see I see So, stay in auto but use the shifter button to downshift into the correct gear then pull?

The first night I got my E55 my friend wanted to race me in his m6. He asked me if I was ready to get smoked and 3 honks later I was gone. I'll see if I can post the video up. haha

not sure if you can see this, but here is a freeway one my friend put on my facebook:
