lol...bring it...heh heh. I just want to learn how to launch properly. I'm coming from having a AWD DSM...used to rev the heck out of it and let her fly! I'm not used to racing a RWD vehicle... first and last time I was at the track with the Benz, my tires were already bald as heck...so the traction control was kicking in really aggressively in first....so slowed down my times. Now got a new set of tires...so I wanna see what it'll do.

Though I'm a newbie here, I gotta check out my schedule and check with a couple friends and see if they wanna go. How many spots are left? I would be coming with my Stage 5 Renntech E55. Might have a 911 TT or two and a GT-R coming with me.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys... as far as performance mods go, it has a Stage 5 Performance kit from Renntech - ECU tune, larger pulley, headers, larger throttle body, CF airbox, intercooler pump upgrade, and auxiliary heat exchanger. It also has a vacuum actuated exhaust bypass at the headers....so when I hit boost, the exhaust is dumped It "is" lowered with a RennTech ELM..but that photo was taken on "comfort"...it drops like 1/2 in or so in Sport mode. The tires are also too large of an aspect ratio (overall diameter is too tall). I'm going to be remedying it soon with new properly sized tires.

Well, I know that..but I have plenty of friends down in Columbus..figured I'd see what's hopping down there.

Thanks for the welcome. Also, here's the last dyno sheet from the previous owner http://www.jtranman.com/e55/large/110252d1185425373-latest-e55-rt-stage-5-dyno-e55_spi_aggressor_502_542.jpg

I registered here awhile ago, but never got around to doing an intro. I know there may be some people who recognize my screenname. I used to have a black 98 Eclipse GSX...and a black '03 Lexus GS430. My current ride is an '05 E55 AMG. Here are a few pics of it before this past winter after I got it. http://www.jtranman.com/e55/large/E55-2.jpg http://www.jtranman.com/e55/large/E55-1.jpg http://www.jtranman.com/e55/large/E55-6.jpg
