2005 Bentley GT Vs. 2005 E55?
I just got the call to come over and make a video of the Bentley GT and My E55. Friend says the GT is fast and wants to know how the E55 will do against it? I will edit and post video asap.

Definitely be safe...I think it'll be a good run...
Bentley GT Specifications
Make and Model: Bentley GT Coupe List Price: $145,000
Engine Type: 6 liter Twin-Turbo W12 Horsepower: 500+bhp
Torque: 675lb-ft@3100rpm Top Speed: 200mph
Acceleration 0-60: 4.8 Brakes: 4-wheel vent. disc
Suspension: arm Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic
Wheel Base: n/a Weight: n/a
It does have more horses but like Brav said, It does way over the 5K mark...

I think the weight isn't that much of a problem. The continental has got a huge amount of HP to compensate those 5000lbs
Im not saying the Bentley will win, but on a straight line its gonna be verrrrrrrry close
However... if u are going to makes turns, the continental V12 has got a serious problem against a lighter V8 AMG engine

That's the funniest thing I've heard in days! I've been waiting my whole life to hear that! We can go bust on the Bentley guys the way the M guys do to us!

The extra HP in the Conti still wont make it that close of a race. The Conti doesnt have that much more HP than the E55 and it has significantly less torque and it weighs 800lbs more. The E55 will tear that car up, its just a matter of time...until these guys race. Anyone taking bets??

Same here. Test driven a Bentley. Smooth, fast but no match to the E55.
