Wow you moved well bro since 50mph it's a sweet spot for m5 and that's fbo,you look like you were ahead of him from 50-130mph? But of course after 150 they start to pull, his car got nice gain since last time I raced him and I noticed that night he beat me is well at high speed to,but I'm happy how I did vs him is well,just trow some headers and you will be good
u can count gears for urself,don't know exactly what speed but i know that e55 told me he shut it down at 160 and when he did he was well behind n not on rear bumper...
m5 hit 190mph on that run (according to speedo)

You should NOT be racing on the street! That's illegal
What's up? In other threads I have mentioned your car about how good it runs with minor work done! I wonder if the M5 guy knows what his car might run at the track so that we could gauge yours Meto?

e55 wasn't ahead at any part of the race,u can see his tail lights how they don't move but stay at where the race started,when e55 shifted to fourth the m5 started pulling...

According to the video that you had go pro mounted on your driver window looks like he was ahead for a half a car since his tail lights are in the same level as where the gopro was mounted... But I can't say 100% since you guys were racing you's know better! Over all from what mods meto have he did great but there is a always next time!

I do understand what you saying and if that's what e55 owner said its a different story but if you look at the video and your gopro being on driver window that shows me that he was half a car till some point but m5 had more power and did what he did that's all

I was in front til about 150 about a fender, I still consider that even. That's clear in the video. What's up up Brian ahah. We'll be heading out again soon! I'm having my car re-flashed. I'm afraid i was running on stock flash 
((((. Took it to the dealer for service and never flashed it again before the race. All good. We'll be doing it again soon.

Stock headers would be 0hp gain. Here's the thread on RPI HEADERS hp gain. Clearly not "stock".

Lmaooooo yeah car is totally stock ahahahahah. RPI HEADERS are modfied stock aftermarket headers (about $3k+) for the primary cat delete.

Definelty good power gain. They have other headers such as evolve that are not based on or a replica of the stock headers. The RPI headers are based off the stock headers and modified for the primary cat delete. I don't get the whole "stock" thing either. They're aftermarket made by RPI to gain hp which they have achieved.

Now as for the mexico run: stop this endless and futile debate about your losses guys! you both got walked; face it; it is the harsh reality! Why harsh? cuz c63 on slicks, fully catless, tuned, race fuel, race map got walked by m5 from every possible angle and speed- c63 got destroyed by 4 cars from first gear roll in his own power band and also got walked from 2nd gear 50 mph roll! then the same heavily modded c63 lost to 335i on stock turbos and then c63 lost to e55 by 2 cars if i am not mistaken! so basically c63 got walked by every single car that day! Correct me if i am wrong!
As for e55, Meto ur car puts down over 500lbs of torque and yet after 4th gear your car started progressively falling behind! and these are the facts! i am not making this up! so instead of this endless and pointless bickering lets plan ahead of time when and how soon we can meet up and enjoy each other's company again.

Take a look at pic #1..
Red is where RPI cuts the stock header and connects there straight pipe.
Yellow is RPI's straight pipe or cat delete pipe (only thing RPI does)
Blue shows the stock headers, Unchanged in any way. STOCK oem headers
Rpi gains power from cat delete only, period. They still use the stock headers.
Reason they cost 3500 if anyone is wondering, you get a extra set of oem headers of course which are expensive, so u dont have to cut your original headers on your car and, can swap from catless pipe to oem cat with a clamp.
Evolve or SS headers (pic #2), which are real long tube headers, gain alot of power, as headers do on almost any car. RPI is a stock header with primary cat deleted.
Vato M5 here is on stock headers with cat delete by RPI.
Pic#3 is stock headers, same as RPI except with the cats in place
why is it so hard to understand,they did not INVENT those headers,they took the stock headers and cut off the cat part n welded straight pipe.
only reason they ask 3k+ is because you have the option to bolt up the cat for emission passing.
i never stated that m5 was stock but i guess you got it wrong.im only stating facts not making up or hiding anything thats all.

Goni it is very unbecoming indeed that in your defense you are using the video where i short shifted from 2d to 3rd by accident and thats why u gained on me that day and you know that! At least this once be truthful and fair and post the video of a clean run between us from that day; u know which one!
