Great video...you can see the problem the guy had on launch. Little zealous to get outta the hole....he creeps forward (possible deep stage), but then when he hard taps brakes, the light goes green and he is playin catch up the rest of the quarter. Also shows AGAIN our troubles on launch.....LSD..please come out and save us!!!!
Love to put SGC up against him.....my man pulls 12 flat alllll day loonnnggg..pretty much stock besides drag slicks and K & N filters.
12.9 (on video) is not representative of what she'll do......(of course blah blah blah....we don't know the conditions...atmosphere.blah blah blah)

Thanks for the video! 
Did I hear that right? 13.4 1/4 mile for the F360? My C55 should be able to come close to that! Which means that F360 didn't launch right or is this average times in the 1/4 for the Ferrari? The 12.9 for the E55 seems about right (on average), maybe a little slow too.

Great Video!
E55 rules yo
These times are a lil slow when compared to other times that people have been getting in E55's or even 360's for that matter.
Maybe they are in a high elevation track? Hot weather? High Humidity? Track not prepped up good?
Just few things to consider that might have lead to these slower, than usual, times.
Thanks for sharing.

Whatever keys I grab first...
Rather dissapointing time for the E55, matter of fact, for both vehicles. I like my E55, and I know its faster than that. That is not average. 12.4 is average, 12.9 is extremly slow, for the E55 at least, and the F360, please, get me not started, I don't believe that time, its ridiculous. That means my SL500 would have been right behind it. Ferrari. What a shame, and I can't say any better for the E55, although it won, it could have done much better, after watching the video several times, I have concluded the following:
1. Fontana is located near some Mountain
2. Air Pressure
3. Air temperature
4. Humidity
5. E55's ESP was on
Ok, first Fontana, I have found out is located next to some mountains, which results in air pressure differences, which could have had alot to do with the slow time. Also, one thing, I cannot conlcude from watching this video numerous times, is the temperature, that plays an essential role in the E55's performance. Humidity, again, I cannot conclude anything from watching this video. And last, but certaintly not least- the E55's dreaded, yet helpful ESP. I believe it was on, as is apparant by the lack of burning rubber, or the E55 struggle agaisnt its own power to gain traction. Again, nice kill for the E55, just a little to slow, for my tastes.
