I just GOT SMOKED by an E55 (the owner of Logic Motorsports). My cousin was driving my car as I had couple beers and we were passing him and he just GUNNED the living crap out of that car. Did it at a light and my cousin couldn't launch the car correctly and got embarrassed. Either way I'm going to NOS it!

We did this where there was NO cars anywhere near us.

The E55 isn't the latest E-AMG model, there's the E63 so relief isn't in sight. I DID hear the 55 is a bit more sharp than the 63, but I'd be surprised if the torque of the 63 is down from the 55s 510ft-lbs...

Ex-E owner...sorry...

Faithful BMW owner too...

You are correct...just had new plates and he said he just picked it up last week so to him it was "new"

What you got done on your 545i?

Well, we all know that vegastrashed beats out Eurocarfan on a straight line, but that's an E63. Hahahaha! I can't wait to see what I started here.

That's a given. I kid... After his full RDSport setup it'll be hard to beat him from a dig, and I'll most likely get stomped from a roll. BTW, we prolly won't hear from ECF for a few more days. Also, NOS isn't going to help r1racer either against that E55 nor my E63.
