Default 04 AMG E55 vs 03 Z06

I put up a video awhile back of my cousin's AMG and my Z. Turns out he had a bad oil pump and a developing lifter tap. He got that fixed and I got a better headers/x-pipe package along with a tune and we just did a little rematch. He's starting up a channel for our races with his 790+hp 2010 SS along with my Uncle's and other cousin's supercars. We'll post the videos on here as they come out.

Is it just me or does the AMG seem a bit underpowered? That cars rated for 460ish hp, right? Either way, good kill and both nice cars.

Nice kill! That Z moves out pretty good. Pulley/tune on the E55 and rematch!

I'd love to run that Z, it'd be a better run than that e55 sloth!

Thanks man, and we're trying to get a roll race in from around there if this rain ever lets up around here.

Yeah and with over 500TQ but they're heavy, heavy cars.

yea every now and then, but not often.

I know that there is an air strip racing event that is held in May in Hendersonville. That would be fun. Race from like a 15-20 roll down the runway would tell the tale! I will post up when I get more information.

Any track times in the Z? nice car BTW, sounds and looks AWESOME!!!!

Thanks man, and I took it to the track before I got the Kooks on it. It was giving me some really bad wheel hop on the shitty tires I had. I'll have to go dig out the slip but I think the best run of the night was 12.7 at 114/115mph.
