[/quote]700 HP is a good ball park figure for that kind of performance. Check out the comparison test of the new Z06, Viper, and Ford GT in the new--whatever--some car mag. They are only in the mid 11's.

My guess is its the brabus EV12 with a 12 cylinder bi-turbo engine. Hmmm....although I have no proof to back up my claim, I would like to think that the M5 would beat the E55 no matter what. Well.....2 extra gears should make up for lack of torque....

The E55 is one crazy car. I drove my friend's E55 and the car actually skids while changing gears, and its an auto with the traction control on.....crazy.
Too bad the handling is really bad, even after all the AMG upgrades...cant handle corners as well as my "lowly" 5 series

WOW....NOS.....that is absolutely crazy. I have a question. What is the purpose of increasing the tire pressure when drag racing??

More air = Harder tire = less friction = faster.

Of course that would result in such a good time. Wait just a moment for some swidish nut to add a TT kit to the M5 and then compare the 2 of them. Of course the M5 won't stand a chance with those mercs...but hey we are not comparing stock with stock. My money still is on the M5.
I have a question what does number 4 mean? and what's number 5? Sorry English isn't my 1st language and sometimes i get mixed up in those tech terms. And yeah, btw why would you increase the pressure in the front tires?
I suspect not to loose any contact with the pavement...
