Default Poor Guy in AMG E55

Took the grocery go getter out Making a u turn when hmmm AMG flies by. I catch back up notice he wants to play. He comments I'll race you for pinks. My reply "Its in the glove box lets go" I tell him to let traffic go. Start to roll. I try to tell him to honk honk he punches it. I hit it bang second start to pull then traffic. Happens twice. He would only let traffic go like 5 lenghts thn hit it. We get to the next light He says hand it over "my pink" I say no no that isn't how we play let traffic go like some room. Keep in mind I am not even getting to 3grand in second before I have to lock it up to keep from hitting traffic. But i want to teach this guy a lesson. Final race.... I tell him to honk. He replies you go. I say okay ... First, Second, Bye bye I never even seen him next to after I hit it. After that he wouldnt come back up to me. He just hung back for a few miles. Just a good feeling when they spend that kinda money and get killed by a 15k car. But i give the amg its respect.


Also on another note. My buddy was in the car with video. Soon to come.

Shoulda held your hand out the window and done the universal thumb/forefinger rubbing "WHere is my $$" gesture. Man, thats priceless. As far as SERIOUSLY racing for pinks...would never do it.

Nice kill! Those E55's are badass, low 12's in stock form.

You ran the older model that had only 369HP. The new one is blown with I believe an Eaton blower and IC for 469HP. It would give you a better run, especially from a roll to like 160.

I beg to differ. It was a new one. A roll to 160. Can't say that I would even attempt to go that fast on the street. 1st 2nd Partial 3rd Street race I took the win. Thats what counts in my book. This would be the second E55 under the SS's belt. As far as my ET's hasn't been to the track.

Doh, you kidding me right? He's got a set of heads with full bolt ons and some juice to spare.

I bet he's pushing at least 500rwhp.

Hey you trash talking hippie. We will get Alex and the camera and go pick on everyone next weekend. You run the juice and i'll get race fuel and flip the switch. Death to anything we stumble upon.

Hmm.... not sure who's talking seriously or not.

500rwhp w/o the spray? And what does "stock" mean when you've changed your top end?

He should be close to 450whp w/out nitrous. Benz only has 469bhp, which would be around 400whp and SS has weight adventage

Good kill

The stock thing could be a joke....

Nice kill. I'm sure your H/C and bolt-on SS is making more power than the E55, I don't know why there is a doubter, not to mention your car is probably lighter as well.

Nice kill

It's HILARIOUS reading some of the uninformed responses in this thread

If you've never raced an AMG car then don't add your opinion about an AMG race

Thankfully, I've raced quite a few

They are PIG HEAVY and not that fast . . . then again . . . quickness is a relative term

A well set-up H/C/mild Spray LSX car can decimate a RennTech AMG. And if you don't know what that is then you really shouldn't be posting in this thread

Hey Jason . . . got any room for my car in the shop
