Default LS1 vs E63 AMG *VIDEO*

Went to our local runs tonight to see what these new tires can do... Wasn't able to get any digs in but a 2007–09 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG wanted to do a roll with me. Due to him not having any tires.. His car I believe just had an exhaust? My mods are in my sig. Car needs a tune after I installed the intake/TB & I do have the 28" tires on the back so my hp might not be up to par with it for right now.

Anyway we did three 30 mph rolls. Forgot to turn the GoPro on until the last race haha but the first one I guess I got the jump? Could of sworn I heard 3 honks either way he was slowly reeling me in by 100+ mph. Second race he did the 3 honks I jumped up on him half a car & by the time I was shifting into 3rd & 4th he began to pull away from me. My uncle use to own this car & I always wondered what it be like to run one since they have like 500 hp & around 460 tq! Cool guy & awesome car!

Hopefully he gets a good set of tires so we can do a dig

Why run a 28" tire at your power level?

the E63 amg's are no slouch. they run good for how heavy they are. pretty sure they are a mid 12 ride stock. and trap pretty good if i remember correctly. good run!
