90 LS1 commodore vs AMG In New Zealand you normally wouldn't have this opportunity. As i was pulling up beside an AMG at the lights i noticed out back it had twin pipes both sides, I was admiring how nice it looked while my car was camming and shaking around and looked inside to see the 40 odd yr driver gazing at me with a WTF "down the nose" you peasant!!! look.
The lights changed and as the road leads on to an open two lane one way carrage way, he rolled forward to about 50mph with me sitting along side his rear bumper then nailed it. I followed thinking I'll show you, the gap was about 6ft, 1st gear even, 2nd even, 3rd i started to pull then while changing to 4th the gap opened back again, ****. 4th even 5th even till about 240kph not sure on mph then we shut down.
Boy was I fuken pissed!!!
I noticed an S55 on the left side of the boot, so I went home and looked it up on the net, didn't feel so bad then as it came up as a 2006 S55 AMG with a handcrafted 5.5L S/C 24 Valve V8 493hp@ 6100rpm against a cam only with bolt-ons LS1.

Not sure if your taking the ****, ie:HEAVY This particular AMG is quoted as doing a 12.2 1/4 stock. Not sure what taking the **** means..... but dont misunderstand what I was saying. Those cars are fast, and beautiful, just adding in that they are big girls ... but big girls need loving too. Not trying to take anything away from your race
Love the front plate. Im sure you have taught many a person what it means.

Thanks for comments guys, I know you guys don't like wings but as i'm looking at doing what we call sprints, 3 race laps at a time, against the clock with up to 8 cars only, taking off at 5 sec intervals the down force from the wing is good.
