3800 mercedes amg goes down...

12secGTP · Dec 2, 2003

most peeps here know that I am NOT a street racer (altho I complain about NOT getting races..). i prefer the track to settle my grudges (and cherish my drivers license..

).
tonight tho on the way home from work, this dork in an E55 ( ithink it was an E55) AMG started shit... trying to block me in by speeing up and slowing down... IOW, PISSING ME OFF BIGTIME!!!
I got a break and punched it pulling out in front of him, he followed then got in the lane next to me. side by side at about 40 MPH i looked at him, gave him a dirty look then we both punched it. PRAISE DHP for the 3-1 skip shifts

h34r: !!!
I buried him from the roll after he got a 1/2 car on me. We caught the light. I brake torqued to 2600 and when the light went green just blew his german engineered ass away!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

One for the books

ight, i dont want to start anything here but i am gonna have to raise the BS flag on this one! i know you got a a 12 sec GTP which i TOTALLY respect, but are you sure you were racing a E55 AMG?? those things run 12.5's ALL DAY!! and i have read that if you put slicks on a stock AMG E55 you can run close to 12 flats with good conditions and driver. you would smoke ANY non AMG'd Benz. i have also heard of some jag offs puttin AMG badges on plain Benz's which is pretty gay! like i said before... not tryin to hate here but those AMG's are just REALLY QUICK!!

ThaLord · Dec 2, 2003

yeah... 12.5's.. with someone who knows how to drive.. was prolly some ass who thought he could whoop on a GP with no problem...

Good Kill Chris...

sweetness · Dec 2, 2003

Good kill...

Beating one on the street is completely possible. Beating anything on the street is possible. I have beat Ls1's on the street, then lost to a WRX the next race. Has everything to do with the driver and conditions. Just remember that those times are run at a track... even bad tracks have a WHOLE lot more tractions than any street you are going to find.

12secGTP · Dec 3, 2003

yes... I know it is hard to beleive but as stated, it comes down to driver. he was a crappy driver who had NO idea how to handle his car.
he had no clue how to launch and from the 40 mph roll, i got the skip shift which helped me out bigtime....

Just a lucky night... B)

syP · Dec 3, 2003

yea its al the driver... at another car club im apart of.. i got the BS flag raised left and right for beating an integra type-r. (which runs 14's) I dont care TurboBrick was in the car with me.. i have proof

awesome kill tho

mybluegtp · Dec 3, 2003

VERY NICE!!!! I was going to say the same thing its all about the driver, and may I say Chrys is a very good driver.

imported_snoop · Dec 3, 2003

i wasnt there so i cant call bs or anything like that, but i take his word for it. i dont think he would have to lie about something like that. dude, nice kill. that one is in the books for sure. nice

BLK00GTP · Dec 3, 2003

Awesome kills bro!!!!

imported_snoop · Dec 3, 2003

how deep into the 12's are you

J.E.T. · Dec 3, 2003

I believe Chris is running between mid to high 12's - but that was a while ago and it was not fully tuned to his mods. He might be faster now...

Excellent kill! I wonder what goes through the losers mind - driving an expensive car like that - when they start seeing someone elses tailights? :lol:

Knowing how to drive the car is definately the other half of the equation to fully see a cars potential. Take for example this WRX Sti at GLD last month: This guy pulls up to the staging lanes with a brand new WRX STi. Everyone starts to walk over to see the car and talk to the driver. The driver comes out - in a full racing suite - adorned with racing decals of all sorts. He really looked like he belonged with the car. He says this is the cars first time at the track, but he's been at GLD in the past. He was cool - talked about his car and how he wants to show the EvoVIII drivers a thing or two

.
Well, the man with the cool racing suite driving a WRX Sti 300hp ran 15.xx sec in the 1/4 mile

. Not sure whether to feel sorry for the car or driver.

J.E.T.
'97 Red GTP

alexgtp · Dec 3, 2003

Yeah guys remember Chrys is highly modded and hopefully by now has his SUpercooler working.. Plus the cold temps!! SO I am sure he whopped up on the AMG

ThaLord · Dec 3, 2003

and another thing.. once you have been to the track, you learn how important a good launch is... and you learn to perfect that... someone who has not been to the track.. doesn't know that.. and thinks if you hit the gas, and make the tires smoke, that means you are accelerating fast. We all know that just slows you down.... and Chrys knows that too, launch without wheelspin, and you will accelerate faster...

This guy prolly didn't know that... he just bought this "fast" car and didn't think that a "family" car would be able to smoke him...

Chrys showed him whats up....

Fish · Dec 3, 2003

Was it a spanking new AMG?? Cause only those are boosted.

cacicgtp7 · Dec 4, 2003

I was going to ask if you knew what year it was? The 02's and earlier e55 amg's were good for mid-low 13's ( 349 hp, 391 tq) Only the new 2003's are s/c making the 469 hp 516 tq

They are good for mid-low 12's. EIther way nice kill!

i have no clue.... i am not up on merc`s.... i just saw the ass end for a bit when he was dickin around with me and blocking me from moving over... he was a dickhead and i am glad I spanked his german cars azz

sweetness · Dec 5, 2003

If it had Dual/Dual exhaust it was a newer model. The older model had a single/dual exhaust on the passenger side of the car. Also the badging looks crisper on the back. Like the letters are more squarely cut... at least it does to me.

I got up close to an AMG E55 yesterday at that exotic car dealership on North Ave and County Farm Rd and am still thinking about it. It's a very impressive ride up close and the HP/TQ #s are on par with only the fastest of the fast. Damn thing had front disks almost as big as my 077s :blink:

The only thing that made it look anything less that spectacular were the 5 or 6 Lambos in the show room

12secGTP · Dec 9, 2003

car is definately a performer, but i had heard was the handling was not as good as it should be.

i was actually not that impressed with the styling of it. A little boxy for a merc.
there are other merc i like the styling on alot better.

ya, it doesnt handle quite as well as the Bimmer M5 or the Audi RS6 but it is faster than both of those!! handling is also relative -- the AMG handles better than 90% of the cars out there its just that when you compare the best with the best, you usually dont come out on top in Every category...

sweetness · Dec 9, 2003

What he said. The new M5 and RS6 are some really top notch cars. I think the handling difference is something akin to comparing a C5 with a Z06.. both can handle REALLY well, but the Z06 just does it a little better than the C5.
