raced a 2001 e55 amg

[steelgrey330ci]

Well this is how it went


I just got my clutch and flywheel and everything done so...

Well this guy pulls up at the light and we didn't go from the light but from a rolling start in first.

First gear 2700rpm we hit it.

First gear had a little edge on him. but beside each other almost.

Secound gear side by side now.

Third gear till about 5000rpm he starts to pull his front end on me.

By 4th gear we both start to shut it down.

WE did it twice from two lights and same out come each time.
I think if I didn't have such heavy rims it would have been neck and neck.

stats on a e55 amg 2001 is 1/4 mile in 13.6 stock

do you know what the power is on them. ??

:lmao: M3's dont run 13's. Either he was a shitty driver, or auto, or just normally driving.

[steelgrey330ci]

it was an auto.

Even the old E55 can kill your 330ci or E36 M3. Not a whole lot, but still will win. The new E55... forget it.

[steelgrey330ci]

yeah the new ones are monsters

my buddys got a euro m3 e36 and he was side by side or if not passing a 2002 m5.

but he is dying to go with me

01 E55 makes about 350HP and 390ft.lbs of torque.

[steelgrey330ci]

wow thats pritty good, well i guess i don't feel so bad then to go head to head with one.

[steelgrey330ci]

hey Technik

do you know when we can start sending in our ecu's and get the injecters and stuff.

thanks

[samir@technik]

It's looking like next week.

[danielO]

[eurotekm3]

It's looking like next week.


:rolleyes:

[beanfree]

I would not think the old e55 can beat a supercharged 330i. They weigh a little over 4000 lbs and with your flywheel and supercharger, you should have been able to beat it.

[steelgrey330ci]

:dunno:

we did it twice so... maybe he had something like ecu but

all I can say is I put the pedal to the floor and hoped for the best.

Remember this is from a rolling start so from the line it may have been totaly different. But it wasn't like i was standing still and it blew by me. That thing was ever so barly scraching by when we hit speeds of 180 km or so.

Well I hope you guys have better luck then. :thumbup:
