Default surprised myself, e55 amg benz

coming home from the sand show today in o.c. i come up to an off ramp where you have to go a few lights to get to the other freeway . i see a long line to the right and one car to the left so i go to the left lane to pas all of the cars. little did i know that was the guys plan ahead of me also, it just happened to be an new 06 e55 amg it still ha ddealer plates on it. So we pass the cars and i stay on the right lane and he stays in the left and he knows its on becuase he is hauling *** and im on his ***. We get to the next light , its about 1/4 mile until the next light and the freewy entrance. right as i get to the light it turns and im on it all the way and proceed to pull about a truck on him ( this is with my a/c on too) to about 60-70mph. i was laughing the whole way. We got on the freeway and he still wanted to play but there was way to much traffic so i just got in the carpool and cruised. i have learned my lesson not to race in traffic. but i thought i did well vs a 90k mercedes with 470 hp .

You realize that the A/C clutch disengages at WOT right? You got a cam in it again?

No spline change, only diff is some wiring harness stuff. If you had an las2 crank then you would have to change the crnak reluctor.
