Exactly, E55 are no joke, havent run into one with my turbo yet, but i cannot wait. Ran my friend new M5, he was in sportiest mode and pulled him 6-7 cl's to 120 from 50, hopefully e55 would be a bit better!

Did u race it from a stop or from a roll? M5 has a better advantage over a E55from a roll. What stage and year is your turbo? My cuzin wants to give his S55 to his dad and get the brand new 911 turbo 475 hp and they run 11.4 amazing. even the older turbos get amazing performane #'s compared to its HP.

I said it was from 50-120 but its all good haha! Its my friend Jon who has a 996 C2, he posted it on M5board and no one believed that i walked him so hard. His car had 3500 miles on it, in s6, dsc off and so on.. It wasnt even funny how bad i walked him, i drove his car and like it alot, although it did not feel fast one bit, probably coming from a torque monster to a high revving car, it felt similar to a supercharged M3 the power, nothing like a torquey v10 such as a viper, even the e39 M5 felt faster but obviously isnt!

Anyway my car is stg 2 +, its up in the 500 hp and torque range, pretty light also with no sunroof but it MOVES. Like i mentioned before, also ran a friends supercharged 2001 rt 10 viper, 10 lb ROE supercharger, builtmotor and so on.. He could pull a CL on me to 155-160 3 times, 2nd , 3rd, 4th gear pulls, my redline is also 7-7200 in my turbo through the ecu upgrade

I agree that those Videos are bull i recently sold my E46 ///M and just Picked up a new E55 this thing is no joke and i raced a new M5 this weekend off line its unlikly the M5 will keep up off a roll the two cars are pretty much even until u hit high speeds like over 120 then the M5 pulls like a car on the AMG but if you are trying to compare a Chipped e55 that and no one just does chip they do chip with a pulley kit they ussually come together, not even the M6 has a chance a pulley and chip e55 pulls low 11's at the track and off the roll will tear up mostly anything they trap at 121 mph. so whoever says that is a chip E55 they are liein.

Those 65-series Benzes have got 738 ****ing lb.-ft. of torque. When you step on the gas, the earth's rotation speeds up a little. Absolutely ridiculous! Same engine as in the Maybachs. True power when you can get a 7200 pound 62 get to 60 mph in the low 5 second range!

Lets just say the E55 isnt chipped and there both stock. Dont u think the M5 beat it by a good amount. Anywas if this vid is BS its still a very good race both cars have the same performance #'s.

you have your sh*t wrong...E55 will be ahead from 0-120 or so...then the M5 will slowly pull. E55's trap 115-119 stock (on east coast gas) whereas the new E60 M5 is in the 113-117 range. E55's Torque will push it ahead...especially from 0-100ish

Exactly, bottom line fuk these online videos!! Go out in the real world, us, normal members and test them, not these people with their pre release test cars.

Yeah im located in yonkers about 10 mins from the city it would be cool to meet up when ever you want it would be fun if your from the area you prob know frankie ///M pwr00 he is one of my best friends we are like family. Yes evil correct the E55 is faster until 120 then the m5 pulls up and only will pull a e55 on a roll above 120mph and not be that much if you go to the google video section and type in e55 you can see track footage of the new m5 and e55 at the track and you can see for yourself that the best the m5 ran was a 12.5 at 117 and the 55;s run into the 11's at 118-119.
