60nomad vs. 60nomad or E55 vs. CTS V

The basics...2011 CTSV has cold air (air raid) and corsa exhaust and had 440lbs. of people in it.

2004 E55: tuned and cold air w/K&N's 170lb driver only

1st vid: 30mph roll left evenly but E55 thinks he started in 2nd gear and not 1st...truck was coming up in the AMG's lane so I let off in the V for him to get in front at about 80mph maybe 90mph.


2nd vid: E55 was def in 1st gear and he left first or jumped me but I (the V) stayed with it as we only want to see who is pulling on who and you see the results! I past him at about 120mph so it took a while to get by after being jumped and I let off at 135mph. Mph's are all fiction of course!



Pretty much exactly as I described in earlier threads what I thought would happen! AMG pulls hard early but V just motivates better up top. The v goes under the knife next week for 1st stage of mods.

Not trying to preach, but traveling 135mph in that stretch of road, you must be looking to shorten some ones life, did you notice the homes and the side road you flew by. Oh by the way enjoy your caddy, idiot. The lane you were in was for the oncoming traffic was it not.
Keep your ego on the drag strip.

That is a one way road and NOT one side street coming off of it so take your skirt off Shirley!

HGOTBOOST: Mexico???? You will have to explain this one to me! Long Island NY.

EDIT: Now I see, you're in Queens. Yeah, we'll get together anytime. I meet up with all the AMG's guys almost every Sunday over this way. There are many more 'IDIOTS' to play with in this crew on Sunday. Great bunch of guys! Better yet...let's go to Canada and find out where 'critter' lives and run down his street!

CRITTER: Maybe you didn't see the 'fictional' mph's. With a name like critter...I think I understand now!

Hey don't bring that thread in to this!!!

If he wouldn't have jumped you it would have been real close for a while before you pulled ahead in the V. A tune in the V would make things interesting, but your next set of mods is going to make it in another league like my cars runs.

I will run the two again after the mods with the weight properly balanced as well. Hopefully I can get a better videographer as well! lol

My rear tires are pretty soft Dunlop ps sport (I think they are called ps sport)...anyway 295/30/19 which are low profile...I will need a higher tire so I will try and change them shortly too. These seem to make the gear too low and will probably have a hard time getting traction. So, any recommendations from you guys on an Ebach lowered car?

'We' were! lmao...This just might be the driver of my E55...I said might!

Cnterline has a pretty good running SL55 and I mean pretty damn good running SL55. After we run my 2 together again we will run the V against his SL55...he will win but I will be a little closer. After my second round of mods, we will run again as well...watch out Kev! lol

I must say that I kinda called what would happen in previous posts but really wasn't too sure the E55 would be as strong for as long as it was but the weight played a part as well I am sure. I was going to switch passenger into my E55 but I was trying to get home before the rain...and it never did rain! I just had the V detailed.

Some guys are running Michelin Pilot Super Sports in a 265/35/19 front and 295/30/19 in the rear. I hear they are better than the stock PS2's. I will be going to them once my PS2's wear out.

Others are using Bridgestone RE-11's in 265/35/19 front and 305/30/19 rear on the stock rims. The rears are tough to mount on the stock 9.5 rear rim but it can be done.

The RE-11's have better grip but the Pilot SS last longer.

You are asking for the V, correct?

Yes the V...I want more height though, I wonder how much higher the 35's that URB is running are. I have 295/30 now in rear. I am going to check to see if I can get a higher less wide tire possibly. I am going to look into it and also want to check the sizes available for drag radials.

Again, I will check the height of you tires are possibly go with those.
