Are all these videos staged to make the AMG look so slow?

Nah they are just bad drivers.....LOL..

MJ50

boy, wish we had closed road like that here...

Might as well say it for the 23423422345243652465th time.

Party up Bimmer guys cause your days of racing against technology developed roughly 2001-02 is coming to a close.

Once the new turbs come out in bout 12 months or so, then we can revisit the issue.

For now, enjoy your victories.

It was an E63 actually... a 55 would've smoke him. And BMW drivers suck so much they have to use launch control lol.

You are correct!

por997s

[QUOTE=blueknight;3021443]This is total bollocks these videos. I am going to hunt down an M5 to really see for myself if they are this quick. Ok, my E55 is not standard, but even better. The way this M5 left the E55, it was like the E55 was giving the M5 a head start why, because it needed it!

M5 drivers need LC beacuse they cant bloody drive.

jrcart

You do, it's called the LA river!

Bimmers are a joke, especially the new M3! Their time is already over, I'll run any NA Bimmer they can throw at me. Here's the race, a standing start 1/4 mile with a 90 degree turn 400 feet from the quarter mile marker and then another small 500 ft straight with a finish line. That is a true test of a machine. All the mags should adopt this test method. It demonstrates power, braking and handling.

There might be a couple M5's or M6's out there that can get me in the 1/4 mile, but they are never going to beat me to the finish line in the above mentioned race. I'll still be on the gas with the pedal to the floor and pass them while they are braking and wondering how the hell they are gonna make the turn that is approaching in about 1.3 seconds.

I like it. It makes the expression on their faces that much funnier when I blow by 'em.

chiromikey

there's no m5 or m6 that can take you in the 1/4...not even asr's version with every bolt-on available and a 150shot. and all the bogus turbo'd versions that don't really run except to take magazine photos don't count.

jrcart

I've seen a M5's go 11.50's on motor only so I'm sure there are a few out there that can go sub 11.40, but they are not gonna turn or stop like mine.

Max.H

was the e55 even gunning it?

aleksandar1099

it was an e63 and a terrible race to start with!!!!

Give me any stock M5 and I will walk him.....

I dunno maybe im prejudice against m cars because i have an amg

Hammer Down

You mean E63 with a Kompressor badge on the fender. How do we know it wasn't an E550 with a sport kit Go back and look at the badge on the fender. I'll call

The video is really bad so I tell if it is an 6.3 or a Kompressor badge. Also watch how slow the front tires start rolling on the "E63".

Don't get me wrong if this was a legit race then more power to the M guys.

The Godfather

It's not a "V8 Kompressor" badge on that fender, it's a 6.3 AMG...look carefully. The V8 Kompressor is much longer and goes close to the wheel well.

Max.H

maybe its a e500 with badges.

SSM AMG

Dudes don't even get worked up about the video crap. Think about it a E46 M3 pull on 63. look at the video again.

blackbenzz

Where have you seen an M5 go 11.50 on motor?

chiromikey

i'm not calling bs on you but i am calling bs on the info. no way has an m5 ever gone 11.5 (on motor ONLY) here in the states with crippled launch control...and i'd probably still call bs on a euro version doing it also. now if you're calling a $40k stroker upgrade, "motor only", i guess it could be plausible but i'd have to see proof. i haven't even heard of the maxed out n2o versions running an 11.5 yet.

jrcart

Guys, no BS here, he is a friend of my best friend and the car only has intake, pulleys, headers, cat delete, super sprint exhaust, cams, heads and ECU tune. I would like to tell you otherwise but I have seen it with my own eyes. I just called him to re-confirm and his best time is indeed 11.58 @ 124 on 18" Nitto drag radials.

You guys all doubted my car would go as fast as it does. Keep this in mind, Illinois has pretty loose restrictions on vehicle emmissions but the state keeps a close eye on fuel quality, octane and additives, bottom line, we get very high quality fuel. There are 3 gas stations within 4 miles of my house that I can buy 99 and 100 octane race fuels, they even still sell the leaded race fuels at some stations here. Most of us don't run cats becasue they don't emmisions test until the cars have been registered for at least 4 years and even then your chances of having to be tested is only 10-12%. So we take a gamble and get are cars tuned for no cats and high octane fuels. A 98 or 99 octane tune is night and day better over a 91 or 93 tune. I think this is a pretty big factor and advantage we have.

Old: Wait till the twisties

New: Wait till over 160 mph



but trust me over 160 these cars really shine

I love my M6- from a dig... not so much.

chiromikey

still have to see it to believe it and then would need to open the hood for further confirmation that he just has simple bolt-ons. like i said, not calling bs on you, just the info.

jrcart

I hear what you are saying, I owned an E60 M5. Would you have believed someone if they told you my car was capable of a 11.4's with bolt-ons? I don't even have heads or cams yet. I still can't believe my times, I thought this was a 11.7 car on motor at very best. So I guess anything is possible.

I'll tell you what I have a hard time believing is all the stories about "stock" C6 Z06's going sub 11's. There were 3 of them at the track the other night and the fastest one there was runing 11.7's. I was running .300-.500 faster than all of them.

Zod

lol at the results...if that is really an AMG the guy must feel prety silly

i think he just mashed the peddle and traction killed his first and second gear pulls
clearly doesnt know how to drive the car properly, one of the indicaters would be the uter hesitation he had to start the race. Also language was arabic...seems to be lebanon

M5 won though a race is a race, but could have been much better
