Why don't you list your mods and stop making excuses?
I swear, dude, how many "the dog ate my homework" excuses are we going to get??
If you can break "well into the 12's" as you claim, then you should be well able to handle a street-tired E55!!
Further, if you haven't ever even *been* to a track, how could you possibly know what you can run in the car?? I've been drag racing for longer than you've been alive, I'd wager (or damn close to it, anyway), and I can guarantee you that 90+% of the manual drivers out there cannot match the times posted in the mags...this is not an opinion, it is a fact, from direct observation at drag strips. To think that any human being out there will simply jump into an M5/M3 and run a low 13 is wishful thinking at its best, and is exactly what you're engaging in...hence my offer.
And my offer still stands: you let me be the judge of what is "lightly modded" and what isn't. List your mods, and we'll go from there. Even the Dinan M5's aren't living up to expectations on track or dyno, so I'm really not worried.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you running street tires when you beat a CL55, which will run a 12.45 with traction control on??
It sure is funny how throughout this thread (and on the M5 forum) you've incessantly talked smack about how you're a 12 second guy, but in every instance have backed down or made excuses when the time came to step up!
I repeat: list your mods. As I am the one making the offer, I can decide for myself what is lightly modded, thank you very much!

Borla Exhaust (6-8 to Wheels)
Hi Flow Catylitic Converters (About 8-10 to Wheels)

When I ran the CL on 20's, I had The Active Intake, Active Chip, Borla Exhaust, and the Temperature Relocator. I had my Stock 18's with Stock Dunlop Tires.
By the way, I am not chickening out. I am going to race Benzo and Miami C55 right after the holidays. We all agreed on this. SGC is more than welcome to join us. I am going to let him know for sure. Anybody that wants is welcome to join us.

Lol, those mods won't give you anywhere *close* to that much horsepower.
You're flat-out dreaming about what you're quoting for the intake and the exhausts. High-flow cats gaining 8 rwhp? Right. Intake getting 24 rwhp?? Whatever. 
And on and on...
Look at what he's claiming, guys: add those numbers up and you get 82-89 rwhp!!! This is equivalent to a gain of 99-107 at the crank!!!
APK, run it with street tires, and the offer stands. Let's see you hit that 12.6!!

Yeah....
If he's running Nitto drag radials, that's really not fair. Everyone should be on street tires!!
Btw, aren't "holidays" days OFF?? I.e., when someone is not in school/work (I assume the former in APK1013's case), shouldn't one have all the time in the world for a quick hookup?
Shoot, he could have run about 100 1/4 mile races in the time it's taken to type all of these excuses!!

Against the E55?
Naw, he would still get shredded, despite his "100 horsepower mods"
It wouldn't be fair to the C55, though, as I can attest to the difficulties of getting out of the hole with that motor on stock tires!
Don't know about the C32...never seen a modded one run, although I've heard they're getting into the 12's pretty easily w/pulley changes...

I run wheels one size up from the ones that came OEM on my car!!! If u run me drag radial vs drag radial then it would be cool but if you run a C55 wearing street tires against your M5 on drag radials then it will be unfair... and mark my word, if I do run DRs I will get at least a 2 car jump on you (torque converter vs clutch, your clutch will slip be4 u can launch 1/2 as hard as i do). Id prefer we all run on what we drive daily... afterall, we are trying to replicate your stop light to stop light situation against the CL55. But since your running DRs, fine, Ill bring out some VHT for my lane also.

That's for sure!!
We have been trying to get this dude to show up for well over a month now! Over two hundred posts in this thread alone, plenty more in the others here and at m5board.com, and still there's no show, only excuses!
First it was "after the Thanksgiving holiday", then it was "after finals are over", now it's "after the holidays"...he's probably trying to stall us while he puts 25 rwhp air filters on his car in a desparate bid to hang!!
And look at how gung-ho he was *before* anyone agreed to show up:

So, just in case he actually does (finally) show, will there be a videocam handy to record the festivities??

well i went and met this famed star of mbworld. well all i can say is that he really does have drag radials, he has an m5, he has a borla exhaust, and he really wants to race (e55's and cl55's) personally i am biased. i would really like to see these races with motor trend saying the e55 is faster than the v10 m5....
here are 2 quick pics to "prove" he actually exists...i didn't get to look under the hood though
i have never met nor am i afiliated with this person in anyway nefore today....

Why doesn't everyone tone it down a bit now? Someone met the kid, he's real, he has a real M5 with all of the evidence of the mods he claims. I think he realizes his claims of a mid 12's are most likely inacurate, but lets not kill him for it. You have to give him credit where it is due: he knows if a 55K shows up he's toast, but he's going to show up anyway. It takes a man to do that.
If he races the C32 and the C55 and no 55K car, we'll just compare his slip to SGC's slip of 12.07 and call it a day.
