R34GTX Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I in no way condone street racing, but I think you are showing your own idiocy with your comments. AS IF you haven't ever put your foot down at a set of lights!!! Like someonestolec said, it may have been a private road blocked off!!! And if it wasn't....who really cares. It was a one off, controlled event!!!! Take a look at yourself before you judge others. lmfao, gotta love the support given to illegla street racing. Your boss is an idiot and so are you. Please post up the video so that the police can see as we know they do look at these forums. This thread should have been closed a long time ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/99700-my-car-vs-c55-amg-2005-model/page/4/#findComment-1821645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides it was in an industrial area...it's not like they raced in a built up area.

scathing Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 He probably left the video in his other pants. Not to say his story doesn't stink like week-dead fish (a near stock R32 GT-R against a newish E55 AMG over 800m?), but it is the holidays.........

marchGTR Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 If its a story its a pretty good one...the only thing that doesnt really stick for me is launching a gtr at only 4500-5500 as from my experience it would usually need more than this to not bog down Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/99700-my-car-vs-c55-amg-2005-model/page/4/#findComment-1823087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCim Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Back one year ago when my mates dad had his E55, he told me the '05 E55 held the current world record for 100-300km for a sedan(or might have been outright). Guess this was due to the 700nM of torque. A stock E55 should run low 12's at about 105mph (170kph). If you beat him by 2 1/2 car lengths, you have a mighty fast GTR mate, well done. Video please PS. Give him another run, rolling from 60kph. Ive been in an E55 slide across two lanes in the dry when my mates mum floored it to overtake a car ...this had non std stuff fitted though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/99700-my-car-vs-c55-amg-2005-model/page/4/#findComment-1823112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchGTR Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 in an ideal situation on a good track with a good driver the e55 could run low 12s, realistically mid to highish 12s... this time doesnt seem so unbeleivable, quick but not unrealistic for a gtr running 16lbs, exhaust and quite possibly some sort of management upgrade (as obviously no speed cut). 2.5 carlengths is not much at all maybe 0.2-0.3seconds at those speeds Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/99700-my-car-vs-c55-amg-2005-model/page/4/#findComment-1823289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make sure you get yourself that Merc, but just make sure that you get plenty of mods to make sure that you can beat the Jap Crap peices of shit. BTW, good on mum setting the prime example on how to overtake a slower vehicle.

Those times are taken in ideal conditions, everything is taken into account, temperature, humidity, the amount of petrol in the car, even the drivers are highly skilled midgets. So when there's like 0.5 a second between cars out of the factory, a lot comes down to the driver and conditions, AlexCim.

wrxhoon Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 E55 will do 12.5 1/4 mile @116 mph, his stockish 32 R will be about the same at the end of 1/4 mile with a lower mph but the in next 400 mts all he will be seen is the big mercs tailpipes ! It will take a GTR with bigger turbos to beat the merc to 800 mtrs .

AlexCim Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 elbee111, as good as the E55 was, it wasnt a "car" as i would say. It was a f**king quick family car, and thats it. The fact that it had air suspension all around didnt help the car, and it truely was a "boat" (expensive albeit) If i was going to get a Merc id shoot for the SL65 currently, but if i needed a family car, cant go past the E55/S55 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/99700-my-car-vs-c55-amg-2005-model/page/4/#findComment-1823407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
