Tampa has a very fast, black Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG lurking. It appears stock but underneath it packs some major performance. This is a 10.95 second quarter mile sly fox of a luxury sedan. At the end of the quarter mile, it's already at speeds of 131.23 miles per hour. A true gem of Tampa indeed! There is so many E55 AMG's in Tampa, good luck finding this one.
Video: E55 does 10.95 @ 131.23 Mph
Excerpt from youtube video description:
"FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY. Here's the video. You'll see Amen pushing me the entire way. I'm convinced that he ran into the 11's but my car seems to have tripped both beams.Thanks to everyone for their support and help on this quest for the 10's. The E is officially retired from drag racing. The nitrous kit now comes off the car. I made a deal with God- "Dear God, please let me get 10's on the spray + Kleemann motor without blowing up and I promise I'll never use nitrous on this car again.
Here's the recipe in case it can help anyone:
- 2005 E55
- Kleemann Stage 2 from Chris Chapas with C2 Designs in Tampa (amazing guy with Disney World customer service)
- Kleemann LSD from Chris Chapas
- 16" CCW Classic custom wheels that clear the caliper by MM's
- 16" Mickey Thompson Street Radials @ 14 cold PSI thanks to the CCW wheels. These hook even better than the BF DR's.
- Air filters removed before run. From a certain someone on this board.
- Air pressure in front tires increased to 48 cold PSI.
- NOS Ford 4.6 liter dry shot kit fashioned into a MB wetshot by Tim. Tim is an amazing master MB mechanic who can build anything. You can't find my nitrous kit if you tried it's so well hidden.
Have fun and let's see something under 10.95!"
This is a great example of the performance readily available to Tampa Bay. You can take any vehicle you want, and find a performance shop that will work on it. There is a specialty shop for every manufacturer. The most popular to modify are Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, GM, Chrysler, Ford, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
