My Redline vs. 2008 E63 AMG (video)

A friend and I were out in my car enjoying the decent weather before this nasty weekend and we saw this Mercedes that kept playing with other cars. It eventually ended up next to us and we realized it was a guy that we knew. He has a cobra also that I ran last year. Of course he wanted to run, and I still didn't know exactly what it was, but I was down. My car was on the low boost I've been running, 17 lbs for the run and I shifted out of 3rd at only 7k because I saw it creeping lean up top and wanted to be safe (Haven't done too many full pulls yet). It was 39* out and I am still on the stock wheels with 215 Eagle GT's on the front so... I crept a little on the brake boost as his 3rd honk was slow.

My setup is:
ZZP Gen 3 2.1
F40 6-Speed
S259et turbo setup
17 psi for now (30 soon)
The rest isn't important lol

His car ended up being a 2008 Mercedes E63 AMG. 507bhp I guess.

This was from just below 40 to about 115 or so, then I was on the brakes HARD. I don't like racing on this bridge because its short and has a curve at the end...but its been so long I just shut it down early.


I'll run him again, even on the same boost when I can rev to 8k at WOT and have some tires

That is sick for 17 psi and not even revving it out cant wait to see beast mode
How is that 6 speed roll racing? Is it annoying having another gear? Or is just the same plus another gear?

It really isnt that much different than the stock 5 speed for overall 2-3 gearing. Just a little shorter, and then 4th isn't so long so it keep a nice steady pull. I love the 6 speed trans so far.

More than I expected to find cruising around last night! Of course he wanted to race uphill on the bridge though lol

I've run a local E63 a couple times in my Z, they aren't that quick rolling but they do get off the line pretty well. Still a solid 12 sec car though, but trap speeds are ~110ish stock.

In for the inevitable spiral out of control that happens to every thread that Miller shows up in!

My camaro did 12.4 with 3.73s and a tune, so basically stock... The camera car in the vid did 12.2... Slow. If I had drag radials my stock ls1 would have done the same time as his 400 horsepower red rocket.

Infra ran a 12.2 with his TVS set up............

And if you feel 12.2@119mph for a fwd 4 banger is slow you're ****** high

His Camaro is fast because it ran 12.4 but the Ion is slow because it ran 12.2 Typical Miller logic Oh and he threw that word in there he loves to use. Basically "Stock". Still hasn't learned the definition of that lol
