Default e55 kill

we went from about a 30mph i took him by about 3-4 cars as i hit 4th,then the guy pulls next to me at the next light and says"want to go on green?"i first said i can't launch cause my rearend is making a clank sound,he said "well i have a bald right tire it might blow",i said screw it the light turned grenn he started spinnin,as i didnt launch hard enough to spin and i was gone 5-6 lenghts by 3rd then he got in the turning lane at the next intersection said"i dont have traction ,bald tires" i said"well i could of took off with no traction too if i would have floored ,but i know how to drive" then he made a u-turn and cried all the way home,just wanted to share that,not bad for my next to no mod 98SS after lookin up some specs on an E55 it must have been at least a 01-02 because i think the 03-04 have superchargers and the body is diffrent also 469hp,516tq or some crazy #'s around that 0-60 in 4.2,1/4 in 12's so i prolly woulda got my *** handed to me if was a newer on,oh well,the 01-02 are like 350 hp
