Yes He also probaly smoked some really good drugs that night and was really racing a 94 E class but didnt know it lol

 

Hey guys, dont get on that guy too bad, remember that for the E211 and W209 etc. you could always get the AMG body kit as an option and AMG decals are next to easy to get, so it's very common to see poser AMG cars out there, he could have been fooled.

My wife has a W209 CLK that came with the AMG kit and even though it still has the 500 on the back people think it's an AMG and try to race anyways.

 

Um E55's break run 11.9x's @ 116-118 with DR's

I used to own a highly modded E55 and now a own a modded 996TT. These are my observations.

1) Looks like a 996TT in the video, but I could be wrong.
2) Under 60mph, the P car doesn't seem nearly as fast as the E55. Let's not forget that the E55 is a supercharged V8= no lag at all. And this is my own experience haven driven both cars.
3) Over 100mph, the P-car will probably beat the E55.
4) I don't think they went over 60mph in any of those races, hence the E55 has the advantage except from a standstill where the AWD P-car has the advantage.

 

the fastest amg runs to 60 well over 4 seconds and the turbo is 3.7 manual and 3.4 tip. these are just facts. i owned a s55, it was fairly fast, but no where near a turbo.

 

First of its was a 997 if you just looked at the brake lights you will see it is 997 second the Porsche needs a driver mod for sure.

 

First of all I must say those videos were terrible and proved nothing.
Were these runs 50 to 70 mph?

Finally the 997TT is faster than the E55 AMG .

And the debate rages on!

Ranger

 

An honest man. Good to see this.

This is actually a reasonably old vid,and as you say Ranger doesnt prove a hell of a lot.
Power to weight should favor the turbo,but you cant underestimate torque!
Get more decent drivers in both cars and run them to 150+!

 

oh,... the agony.

 

Here's more proof the 997TT is quicker than the E55:

Not only is the 997TT quicker from a dig, but from 100-200 kph (with the 997TT's AWD launch advantage removed) the 997TT is still over a second faster than the E55:

Sport Auto: 997TT
0-200 kph: 12.7
100-200 kph: 8.9

Sport Auto: E55 AMG
0-200 kph: 14.6
100-200 kph: 10.0

And here's the Sport Auto times for the M6 and M5, for comparison purposes. The M6 is slightly quicker than the 997TT from 100-200 kph, the M5 slightly slower. However, both are quicker than the E55:

Sport Auto: M6
0-200 kph: 12.8
100-200 kph: 8.6

Sport Auto: M5
0-200 kph: 14.6
100-200 kph: 9.3

What happened to that thread we had with the 997 TT vs the M6 and I kept saying the M6 could hang from a roll, and after 100. The M6 is a beast for it's weight.

 

Thats a good question and yes M6s are Insnae after 80 its the fact they can Rev to 9 Grand that gives them that advantage at higher speeds

 

i saw a vid of a tt vs an m6 from a rolling start on the m5board and it wasn't even close. the tt blew it away, i was kinda surprised by the margin.

 

do a search on youtube and you should see it.
