Anyway, the car belongs to a guy w/ a screen name DerekFSU.? He's somewhat famous in the MB forums as he loves to track his E55.? He just took delivery of his M5 not to long ago and he was saying that the LC was not yet active (because of the low miles), and therefore he got killed by the E55 in the right lane.?
I have not seen timeslips, but the E ran 12.5, pretty damn fast!? The Bimmer was killed, let's leave it at that.

This is a great shot and a race I've always wanted to see.? It's one thing to read quarter-mile results in mags, but to actually see them lined up, as if racing against each other, is a much better alternative.? More fun too.
But just to play along...I would guess the M5.? No, wait!? The E55, yeah...no, wait, wait, wait!!! The, uhh, theeee aaaahhhh....damn, I give up.
Just tell us already.

[/quote]Bummer...if you just know the car isn't at it's full capabilities why race such a powerfull contender? Or better said drag...because i feel it's a big difference between track(race)/drag....
I will bet my bucks on the m5 next time....if the guy knows what he's doing, and LC is activated than i bealive the benz is going to get killed. LC means alot when it comes to drag. I've seen alot of take offs with LC and without LC and really it is a big difference...
