In case anyone is wondering (per the owner):

1) 2005 E55
2) Kleemann Stage 2
3) Kleemann LSD
4) 16" CCW Classic custom wheels that clear the caliper by MM's
5) 16" Mickey Thompson Street Radials @ 14 cold PSI
6) Air filters removed before run
7) Air pressure in front tires increased to 48 cold PSI.
8) NOS Ford 4.6 liter dry shot kit fashioned into a MB wetshot

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

Increase front to reduce rolling resistance. Reduce rear to get better traction.

I agree..but the guy in the video doesn't need to choose...he just picked up his new M5 ....to keep the E55 company
