Cool How fast are AMGs?

It was a 4dr. from a lite. From a dig, I hurt him. We ran 0-50, maybe 55. Honestly, how is this possible? My truck is mostly stock...sorta. It's a RCSB 5.3. If he was all into the gas, he wasted his money. Or...I saved a bunch. This is story 2. See #3.

He was playing with you, then again it is different on the street than at the track. I have been up against an AMG station wagon....not good for me. Depending on which model they can run as low as high 11's.

U see a lot of those on the track in Cali? Low 11s???? Cmon, I figured 12s @ best. Most I thought were in 13.1 to low 14 range. Either way, everybody loves to beat sumthin that costs $$$. I run extremely good when cool. Eventually I hope to be 12s but will be happy when I turn 13.8. Last time @ Milan, I think 2 yrs ago, ran 15.1 w/CAI only. Since have full Dynatech w/ Hiflows, Corsa Touring, 2/4 drop, but never retuned for. Would love low 14s, but I'm thinking hi 14s, but shifts r getting soft. Hello FLT? Then, I start boltin on my stuff.

Bill, that was an E55 wagon you raced at the track. E55's stock can run high 11's, low 12's. Also they can be modded easily with a smaller compressor pulley and a tune.
