short race. run out of room? pretty hard to call it a win or loss unless you know for sure the 550 was in the right gear and WOT at same time as you. you guys run before the video started?

Get Redfire03 in here, he'll know.


I'm not sure, it looks like it had the AMG style quad exhaust, but could just be a regular S550.

yea wish we could have run a little longer but traffic was heavy. not sure about the right gear(thinking it was though) but he was definitely at WOT at 15 seconds. we ran once before I turned on the camera and it was the same outcome.

he said it was a "Lorinser S63 AMG, similar to one I just sold but mine was black. They make great power but they are tanks at 4800lbs. Run mid to low 13s @ 105-107 traps, nothing special."

5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 that produces 536 hp and 590 lb-ft but @ 4800lbs I see why I pulled him..

Correction its a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that makes 518 hp not the 5.5 bi turbo.

That's a S550 with Lorinsor body kit on 22's. You should feel proud. No performance what so ever (382hp to crank). The 5.5 BiTurbo will rape you with no grease! And so will my E55!

You would be able to see the 8 piston calipers through the wheels. The same way you can on my E55 AMG. That's how we know if they are a poser. Posers give us a bad name, since they loose to almost everything.
I posted a vid of my car in the new member greetings section.
