My BEST run ever with a E55 amg!

Driving up the North Dallas Tollway at 12:00ish today going home, I ran into a E55 (Bone Stock) that passed me and slowed to setup a race. Cool guy late 30's early 40's.

We first tried to line up but only got to run from 70 to 100. I had to brake first so he keep going. We were dead even before I braked. So we lined up again at 60. This time we both hit it on the 3rd honk. I got a bumper on him on the launch. I was so slightly pulling that by 100 he was at my door and by 130 he was at my bumper and we both let off. He gave me a huge smile and a thumbs up and I gave the thumbs up!

We ended up at a stop light and talked:

Me: good runs
him: you too...
me: Are you stock
him: yes, are you
me: no, heads cam torque converter
him: I was suprised but I am going to get a pulley and chip.

then we pulled off.

Cool guy. I guess I definetly need the bottle cause that E55 was fast.

By far my best highway run ever!

BTW: My vette runs mid to high 11's at 118-120.

Sorry if I missed something, but were you in your C32 or Vette. I am guessing C32?

I was in the vette. After hearing all the hype about the E55, I am a believer. Very impressive for a 4 door to hang with a 400 rwhp Vette.
