Street Racing & Kill Stories - G8 Vs SL55, E55 Estate and Cressida

Only had one camera on me and I thought the mb's would start walking me so I pointed the camera forward.

Edit: Im hearing its a 2jz cressida with a 7xmm turbo. Not sure, just hearing things little by little.

E55 Estate, 40 mph...kinda seems to be a dead spot for me.

Cressida again, a little higher into the 40s seemed to help me.

SL55, 40 mph roll...my car just doesnt do well from 40.

Glad to see you finally got some races! Good kills!

Good kills......that thing looks bad ass!

Thank you sir :usa:

Mods on the G8..


Nice kills.

Nice runs!

And as far as the toyota, you'd have to have one damn fast G8 to beat that thing if it was in fact a 2JZ with a 7X mm turbo. A freind of mine has a 2JZ in a nissan 240sx with a 67mm and he's running 10.8's at 135 mph....I'd have to imagine that little toyota weighs about the same.

Yeah there was definitely something up with it, its probably on very low boost right now. I was under the impression it had a 1jz but my buddy says it popped and he swapped this in about a week or two ago so its probably getting the kinks worked out.

I saw how I did against the amg's which generally trap 116 give or take so I know Im not capable of beating a 2jz anything with a decent size single turbo. Im sure when he throws more boost at it Ill get a phone call.

Mods on g8 are intake, headers and a custom spec blower cam.

What does an E55 wagon run compared to the sedan version?

Not sure, the owner claims the wagon runs about 300 lbs more than a sedan but there was also an e55 sedan out this night and the wagon and sedan did a pull and the wagon looked like it was ahead.

I know its the interwebs but this guy posted a slip, so far its the only thing I see 1/4 mile about a wagon specifically. Cant even find anything on mbworld.

The Cressida is not some lightweight Jap car. Consider it a Japanese Crown Vic, they are pretty cool cars.

Wagon is sick! I didn't know they had them in the US.

Yeah I love the fact that its a wagon and that he runs, really cool guys with the amg's out here. He said its extremely rare, I believe he said under 300 for the e55's. I also know of a black e63 estate in Brooklyn but I never see it move.


Obligatory crappy cell phone pics. I wanna get some daytime ones as I never see these things.

Im seeing 3200-3400 lb curb weight, thats evo territory which isnt that heavy in my opinion.

E55, Magnum SRT8, CTS-V, I'm a huge fan of all the performance wagons!

I think he's referring to the fact that a lightweight car in those circles is under 2500 lbs. I was talking to a guy last weekend who was saying that his car still weighed like 2200 lbs and would never be very light :lol:

Yeah I guess the crown victoria comment threw me off, even those appear to be right at or a hair lighter than us. Everyone around here claims my evo is a light weight car thats why 3,400 or less seems light to me.

I drive a 1,900 lb car so everything is heavy to me.
