I was raced by an E55 AMG (new version) a few months ago. He was behind me in lane, but never got out to pass, but stayed up very close.
I just finished putting finishing touches on my daily driver to the extend, I'm pretty sure it will take my GT3 now. (Almost complete Dinan S2 package on my M5 including almost all the bolt on's and the re-geared diff.)
I wan't to race myself, but how?? Maybe I take both to Willow, but I'm more interested in straight line for this comparo!

That's right! I wasn't looking in the mirror the whole time, but he was right there for the most part. The guy was 60+ white shirt and neck tie on top of it!

Damn! I have a client with an AMG 55 Kompressor....He keeps telling me its the fastest car in the world 0-120-0.....I know he's FOS, I never thought that car could run with the GT3 though.

Stock GT3 will walk the SL55 from 70 to 150 is my experience.

Hey Michael,

What is a BMW 550 SMG? Is that the new M5?

Thanks,

Thanks,
The 550 comes out in September, has the same motor as the 750 (comes out this month) a 4.8L V8. For me it's just a daily driver -- will have all the toys + 800W sound system and "optional" automatic mode with SMG. Same torque as M5 but lower RPMs and no psycho SMG mode.
