That's funny but the smack talk is always entertaining though!




I was pretty sure that they were friends as I met a couple of these guys...all good guys and always looking to run...obviously! Seeing results on the street is the best and you can guess what you might run at the track if you have any comparative cars. From running on the street I guessed my cars track times with in a tenth so it is really cool in that sense as well.




I am curious how much the benz seats weigh...I have heard that they are heavy...also curious what you race seats weigh? I will guess that you are saving 80lbs total...just a guess.
Yes my car is like that 24/7 bc I don't daily drive it anymore it's my dedicated toy and 99% of the time it has race gas in it, I'm fair at least I don't lie about my mods.
For me it's about fun the only reason I thru some paper in the deal was bc I don't like to street race and does guys will never go to a track so I need it to be worth it for me.

Driver seat oem is 63 lbs passenger same thing
My driver race seat is 29 lbs so from that it's only 34 lbs weight savings and the passenger Is a lil heavier bc it has some sliding bracket that the driver side does not 36 lbs and weight savings from passenger seat are 27 lbs both together only 61 lbs and rear seats 65lbs that's 126 lbs seats.
then I have no spare tire and no tools 40 plus lbs
hood trunk rims rotors lightweight battery and lightweight full exhaust system and if u wanna add the titanium lugs they shave around 3 lbs .

That's fair to me. What type of gas do you run? 100 octane?


I knew the seats were heavy! lol Weight=HP


P.S. People that lie about their mods should see a psychiatrist!

I don't even know what you drive but be careful...the last guy that said that to me was bc I weigh 275lbs and I had a 200lb passenger and I told him to round up a passenger bc I thought it would be close. His response was extremely similar to yours, I smiled and said 'I can't wait'.... he NEVER did get a passenger and I then proceeded to annihilate him!


This particular character is now telling everyone that I have NOS! lmao (the biggest compliment one can get in racing)...Not saying that this will happen to you but if it does...then it makes you look extremely silly and if you don't come out and run him...you still look very silly!!! Just sayin that I would NEVER make those comments!

He has the legend EV12..... White color E55 with V12 Biturbo. I don't think add more weight will make that car too slow......

What Lambo? Does it come with rocket boosters? Otherwise I'm wasting gas. I'll handle it passengers and all.

Didn't that car run 130mph in the 1/4? Talking like it is WAY faster than it really is unless there is something extremely different about it now.

To my knowledge, its never actually been tracked in its current set up. I know one time out ended with a broken drive shaft. Jody can clarify what times he has run and with what his set up was at the time.

I know me and you dont get along but trust me. Its properly fast. 130 comes and goes like a 2nd gear punch in a stock E55. You can try and hate but it will trap high 9s/140s and as soon as I get some issues sorted out I plan to track it and prove it. For now... just words I know.

Why you mad its WAYY fasteer then your pos CTS always gotta come and call me out like I'm lying about my car or whatever get off my nuts you still a$$ hurt over your almighty ctsv and what I said about it??

I don't remember what you said about a car of mine, it must have been important (sarcasm).

And I am not "hating" on you. Like I said, you were talking like the car was just ungodly fast, which I guess I can understand since if you are coming from a stock or light modded E55/CLS55 to something with some more power you may think it is a fighter jet.

I wouldn't get all carried away saying "it will trap high 9s and 140s" though until it does it. That other E55 that is twin turbo (also on 3076 turbos) on here said he would dyno 700 on a dynojet and he trapped 127mph, that is FAR from 140s like you are claiming you could do.

My V runs right in the 130 range just like I mentioned your car did in the past, so if I am hating on the car and saying it is slow then I would be hating on my own car and saying it is slow and I know it isn't slow, so I am not hating on anything.

Oh and I bet you never run a 9 in that car And since I guess you don't know, it ran 11.6@130 when he brought it to the track the one time. That was with a 2.0 60ft, knock that down to a 1.6 and the car would run a high 10.

As I said.. already.. for now its just words. But I'm sorting out some issues and new mods and I WILL*take it to the track. And my E55 was fully modded by Benzworks. Not really a car I would call slow either. But hey its not your laaaamee *** caddy so it must be slow

My lame Caddy first time I took it to the track went down the 1/4 one second faster than your pile has ever went

Again, I was not hating on the car, I just was saying you were talking like the car was way faster than it is. I am not saying it is slow, I was just saying it is not as fast as you are making it out to be. I don't know what may be different from when he brought it to the track but the mph wouldn't change that much, yes the ET could change a bit but you aren't gonna do but maybe 2 or 3mph faster unless the car has some kind of big change since then making an entirely different power output.

He just had a poor 60ft, getting off the line better isn't going to transform the car in to running 10+ mph faster.

Go hit the track and prove me wrong, take out Weistec, that would be great.

I don't get why all the CTS-V owners have to talk about their cars on the E55 forums... is there no such thing as a CTS-V forum?

Ohhh my god... You idiot. That time was with the old turbo set up. Which according to Jody himself were laggy as hell. Since then it has had the GT30s installed. Plus working on some weight reduction/E85 who knows I dont know what you consider a "different power output". But yeah fail with that comparison. The car was still being tuned and built when that time was ran and you want to use it as a basis for what the car can do now... with a completley different set up? Ok. Fine. It will run faster then 11.7 @ 127. Does that prediction less infuriate you then my previous one? Or have I not ran that either... guess I havent so it cant.
