E55 AMG vs. ZR1 Vette, chawkins style!! (vid)

I was watching a couple of my vids last night and thought I would throw this one up here.

I was trying to launch the old girl off the stall, and she did not like that, as the TQ was pushing her through the brakes (you will notice this at the tree)

The bliss of dragging in dyno mode

So I had a conversation with her at the lights, and let her know why she is there, the rest is history, LOLL

Enjoy

That's one of my favorites right there! I send that one to all my non-E55 buddies. Wish we could have a trimmed down version that starts after you guys are staged.

I would love that to DVC, not sure how to edit though..... It does show the raw nature of the beast though, she just could not hold all that TQ at the lights in dyno mode

Then all HELL broke loose...

Steve, glad you got the goods brotha, you happy with it all

We will have the same mods pretty much, cool it all down with a small shot, and you will be a 10 sec certified panty dropper

No, although I would like to. My MBWORLD trips this year will include: TimmayFest, and one MIR track event in late fall, if Ahmad decides to set it up.....

What was going on with the staging? Was the Vette trying to stage his rear tires at first?

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
What do they say? "Always someone faster". Surprised the Vette fanboys are not registering to claim your lane was downhill and the Vette had flat tires, wrong engine installed, spilled coffee, etc... Nice job.
