VS. me. 1990 ZR-1, ported intake/injector housings, SSW Headers, RT cats, Flowmaster cat-back and a HAT cal. He is stock and will run a 12.2@118.
We are lucky enough to have a closed off spot to run from 50 to 150 so, that's what it will be. What do you guys think? I think I've got a shot. I'd feel better if I knew what my current trap speed was but, I don't think it should be far off 118.

Good luck with crushing the kraut grinder!
You have the entire ZR-1 brotherhood riding shotgun.
Don't worry, your new headers will give you the edge.

They are amazing cars. He thinks he's going to just run away. He may be right. I know a guy with a WS6 TA. He can run an 11.9@116. I'd never beat him at the track. But, he's never ahead of me anywhere else.

I think it will be close with the advantage to him. The last version of the E55 (2003-2006) had 469hp and 516ftlbs of tourque with a curb weight of 3990lbs. That would be 8.5 lbs/hp. Estimating your car at 410hp and curb weight of 3479lbs, you would also be around 8.5 lbs/hp. The difference comes in tourque, his 516ftlbs as compared to your 400+ and the gearing which an unknown.

Sounds like fun though... good luck!
