wow....I think the guy in the AMG didn't know how to drive. I've actually raced an E55 AMG up to about 70mph going onto the highway and by that speed he had me by a good 3-4 carlengths and I hit every gear right too.
Yep the Z is mine....it has all the mods I have in my Sig. I figure the guy didn't know how to properly drive his car but still....even when he starts moving I would have assumed he would catch up a little but he didnt! I was surprised at how well i did!

oops! Sorry about the title!!! C55 AMG!!! When he was pulling in the second race, if you go ahead and listen when we hit the second beep, you can hear his engine already going....When I edited the video I took out almost all the vocals but when we set up for the final race he did tell me he jumped on the second one!
speaking of e55 amg's...
saw/ran with/lost to michael jenkins (w/r for the atl falcons) in his e55 amg v8 komp at the commerce dragstrip on fri the 16th. He ran a 13.1 when he left it in auto mode, he says he can only hit 16's when he shifts. cool guy though.
it was my first outing to a dragstrip, ran a 14.4 at 95 mph ish. not bad for stock except a intake. (left spare in, 38-40 psi in tires, several back to back runs)
nice vid, good kill

Having driving skill wins races(shifting/launching). Unless your rally driving you dont really need ***** to race through a few gears, at least I dont think you do

title?
why would you put the title 350z vs e55 and the file name is 350z vs c55?that surely can't be a typo b/c e and c are too far apart on the keyboard to simply mistype them.
besides if you raced an e55 you'd have known right away for the smell of the burned exhaust is unforgettable.
you got the c55 from the start due to your driving/shifting skills, but it's pretty obvious with a horsepower/torque difference of a v8 vs v6 when he leaves you easily from a roll.
anyways, props to your driving skills
but from the roll the hp difference is obvious and no matter the driving skills the hp of the v8 just simply prevails.
