Default Eurocharged E55 AMG Vs ESS 535 M3 Vs Gallardo Race

Got another good match-up caught on tape


Eurocharged E55 AMG
K&N Flters
Stock Pulley
EuroCharged Tune
Exhaust
Drag Radials

Vs

BMW M3 - DCT
ESS VT1 535
6PSI
Exhaust
Methanol Injection

Vs

Lamborghini Gallardo




I should note, the runs were actually reverse, the roll was first, but since he gave me my race, i gave him his.

Both had 1 passenger

E55 is a bit stronger than I anticipated. Id like to re-run when im back to aftermarket Xpipe, and another psi of boost

The Gallardo wasnt "really" part of it, just a friend that wanted to listen to the V8 symphony play out.. dont get me wrong, he was on it, but not really part of it

good runs. Car runs strong up top. I wish you were local. Id love to race a different car like yours. The euro scene around here is weak. And i love how the gallardos are mild performers at best in stock form, yet become the fastest car on the planet with an off the shelf turbo kit.

Def. strong up top. That E55 was no joke from a low roll, at all. Good kill and death.

Brake boost for the runs? Seems like it took a bit to build some boost and real in the Benz?

E55 sure was on it when it comes to leaving at the 3rd honk. Some would say "too on it" - but only because your beemer was so late taking off. Who was doing the honking? I assume the Merc. Was sure surprised to see a Gallardo get its doors blown off though! I would have bet money those things are solid 11 second cars.

I wish you were local too man. There are a few 302's around, but i have to go to real events to link up with them. Def cool guys though.

The E55 was doing the honking, you cant hear mine with the exhaust. He was a bit ambitious, but its all good.

I cant brake boost in a DCT, i just have to be at the top of the gear since these things make no tq, even blow its only like 320 at 7k.

He dyno'd at 440hp/500+tq, my old dyno was 475hp/320tq, i should be 490-500rwhp now.

Im stepping up/down a pulley size Thursday, and putting the aftermarket X pipe back on. That should give me about 30-40 hp, and 3-4 mph back on top.

He just messaged me and will be out again next weekend, not sure if he is gonna do the pulley swap and icebox as well, but its should be another good matchup. either way.

I may have to put the DR's back on if he wants to go from a dig again.


The gallardo's are also high 11/120ish mph cars. which is great for stock, but nothin really special for modded cars. I got famous for running a worked N/A Gallardo in my 335 a few years back:

my guess is you would spank any boss 302s in your area unless the driver really knows how to use the car. Seems its hit or miss

lol a boss is no cobra jet. Plus i know a guy who ran 11.7 at 117 bone stock on just a DR. Then he does all the bolt ons and picks up another 58whp. He hasnt gone better then 11.8 at 117. Then he adds a 75 shot to the car and picks up another 120whp.. car then ran 11.6 at 124. His car has made the power with the right mods, but his performance with the mods are ****. Realistically, he should be running in the 124 area on motor. Im confident, motor to motor, i would shut him down, and he makes more power then me. But he has told me already, he will only race on spray.
