The owner of the Vette is a nice guy. And surprisingly, he has actually "driven" that car...


Said something about driving it home from the dealer, being well into 3 digits!


Oh... He also said he would run my E55 if he saw me out on the road...

Wow. I just did the math on my driveway and it's 1,326HP and 1,631 TQ all bone stock.

05 e55 469 / 516
08 e63 507 / 465
08 F250 diesel 350 / 650

I should add up the receipts for tires the past 4 years for a true eye opener..and gas..

I'd trust him. I'm on a few diesel forums and those guys are way, way more insane than the AMG crew. Their daily routine is to live life on the cliffs edge of blowing up an $8k motor daily. And most don't seem to be packing big bank accounts either. Bigger gonads than I have I guess.

I Daily drive a 700hp Common Rail Cummins...and I LOVE IT. Gets ~16-18mpg depending on how I drive...and runs mid-12's.

Wife likes the AMG, because she can beat me with it....for now.

Lol...yeah, most of the trucks turn ~3200-3500. Built trucks will run in the 3800-4500rpm area...and MOST competitive sled pulling trucks run in the 5000-6500rpm area (depending on build and track conditions).

Ive had been driving my truck for so long...that when I got my car for the first time up over 5000rpm I was freaking out waiting for it to shift...dummy!!!

Big power is to easy with a common rail lol. Im on a single believe it or not. It's got a clipped 75mm that fits some 2.6 rules . Injectors are from Weston that he had exergy do some work on also. 6x.018's and a monster mike stage 3 pump. I've got 2 stages on top of that also. I think Adams record has been beat if I'm not mistaken but wasn't posted everywhere. I know that triple turbo truck made 931/1650 fuel only. I'd like to know what I'm making with both stages. I can clean up almost all the smoke on 2 stages.

Ill hand it to you VP guys...its hard to make power with that abomination of a pump.
So you fit a 2.6....are you into pulling or just have a "2.6" charger?

Weston know his stuff for the 12v and VP crowd...

Mike builds some great pumps...in fact he builds a ton of great stuff. Got a couple buddies sending his transmissions for his "Treatment".

Ok back on topic...sorry OP, I got carried away.

Not in my driveway, but in possession..

700hp driver, 1100hp puller, 400hp+ AMG, and 300hp '71 GMC Sprint=2500 RWHP at my disposal.
