I saw the video of a pullied cobra with an exhaust getting its ass handed to it by a stock E55, the one they are talking about gets 25 more hp to the wheels than a stock one gets to the crank.

what up with them cutting the video right before the times are posted on the board...? i'm guessing its because the amg beat the driver, not the car

It just doesn't add up. It's not like the Z06 spun it halfway down the track. If anything, he launched it like a pussy.

The guy in the Z might be the worst driver I have ever seen in my life.

Someone on that forum responded with:
quote:
The guy in the ZO6 does street races as I was told for money so by his choice times weren't shown but I can tell ya the E55 does very low 11s or high 10s on that strip US41 in Indiana.
I commented that the dude must be flat broke, because he can't drive for sh!t.

Because its in reality on the track, not some bench race or best case scenario. It happens all the time when people actually line up at the track and see who wins.

yea, no way should that zo6 have lost, the weight difference is too great for the hp so close. He didn't know how to drive worth a damn. And more then likely the scoreboards weren't on yet. I know here in my town they don't turn them on until dark..

the second race the vette red lighted.... so that's why the AMG got the "win light"
no way the vette had a clean pass the first time

You can never have too much power, just not enough traction.
12.33 @ 112.3 - 1.71 60"

from the Video i can see the AMG guy beat the Vette Guy that simple. That does not mean the AMG is faster than a Z06.

Redlight was the first thing I thought after they posted the E55 got the "win light" with no times. I'd like to see a run that shows the times for the E55, who knows, maybe he does run low 11s, high 10s

Ed - sure - the vette did not leave that much sooner then the E55 to make the MARGIN OF VICTORY as large as it was at the top end to account for the early leave. The vette ran the track faster than the E55 to be as far in front as it was at the finish
clear?
