Default Grandpas Buick vs SL55 AMG

So I went out to Wegners Motorsports on a friday for a ac delete pulley set up. While I was there Wegners tuner Gary helped me out with my tune issues (wrong map sensor tune was way off), got a decent base tune. Car is now extremely streetable and driver friendly now but we took some timing out and I can tell there are a plenty more ponys that can be squeezed out at the dyno! Anyways after a great weekend in the dells we were on our way out of town....somewhere in mexico..... Merging on the freeway I noticed a bad *** SL55 following me. We took up both lanes and Did a few runs. Mind you I had my wife in the car (who cant film!), a trunk full of luggage,spare tire, tools, 2 1/2 ton jack, oil ,etc a lot of extra weight! We took a few runs results often ended the same do to the fact that I cant shift nervous uhgg! Either way the guy in the 630 hp $200k supercar was shocked and impressed! This was the best vid a 50-140ish pull I got the hit and held him off untill I hit the rev limiter and missed 5th!

Nice run! Always feels good to hold your own against a high end car.

He has a 415" stroker, I think he likely has that covered.

Your assumption being that his GS won't 60' better than the Benz...not likely.

How about saving us all the trouble of reading seven damned pages of non-relevant stuff and just putting down the relevant stuff in your sig? Seriously man, telling us to read through a seven page build thread to find out what you got is asinine.

Now I just wasted more of my time telling you that you are already wasting our time...

There is no assumption, only a question.

Hey Retard "Its a worked over LS3!"

As for the 60' Its Terrible! I set my car up to be a driver/ do everything well and look stock, even with the mickeys I cant hook. This summer I might focus on traction instead of cornering.
