Not to mention that's a 20+ year old E55 AMG. The biggest thing killing them is that they're stuck with an ancient 5-speed auto. It may be durable, but the lack of gear ratios really hurts performance compared to modern cars.
@@myxalplyx Yes. I was supposed to race until 10pm and I went home at 7. The heat didn't help. And it's been 2 days and my eyeballs still hurt and I feel like I played tackle football.
@@mountainmantesla4395My point was the AMG can handle performance driving also when stock. The M3P overheats everywear and gets power reduced to half in minutes.
Great video! Can’t wait to see more videos like this. Navigate to a Supercharger about 7-10 minutes before you stage and it might get down in the 10.8s.
I enjoy your channel. I tried to precondition, but there was none close enough to make it work. At sea level with a strong head wind, I was surprised to be in the 10s. Thanks for stopping by.
@@TommyboyGTP those m113k engines are bulletproof but can barely break 20mpg on highway and single digits in the city. I had one of those 5.4l v8s, tank motor but still require lots of maintenance.
I get mine tomorrow, super excited, I really hope there is a performance boost upgrade (maybe an actual Ludacris mode), but all-round, this car is a monster, good races!
@mountainmantesla4395 Thanks for sharing! Nice runs. As a Reno High alumnus, it's good to see there may be a ultra red M3P out there for Hot August nights ;)
just so you know, reaction time does not go towards the ET. It only counts towards leaving before or after the other lane and finishing first and breakouts in bracket racing. Drag racing is addicting :)
Every race I got slower and slower as the adrenaline and caffeine burned out. I had to leave half way through the night because I was crashing to the point I was getting a Migraine. It was an amazing rush but I am not going to be consistent enough to compete.
@@mountainmantesla4395 dang, sorry about your migraine. Just do it for fun, don't worry about being competitive. :) Also, if you try again, the 60ft time is one of the best metrics to use for analyzing a run.
Trap speed is how fast you’re going in the 1/4 mile. As you can see towards the end of the race he’s pulling on you hard. If the race was from a roll, the AMG would pull on you hard due to the 6.5-7mph difference.
@@Rodger16 havent dyno it with this current setup but it did make 630whp on pump gas and its now on full E85. So i would guess maybe 730whp also vehicle weighs 4200lbs

Ultra red model 3 performance is such a beast.
This was my mid life crisis car. I had to get Red.
That Mercedes was pretty fast! Good run
Yeah he was, and consistent. We were bumper to bumper both races.

@@rustler08 I think my biggest advantage is that I weigh the same as a 4th grade girl. 😁
Run number two for you. It was glorious listening to that screaming V8 sound further and further in the distance
That guy was fast, I raced him twice.
he was closing the window lol
@@patatr4943a few more feet and he had me for sure.
.018 for a reaction time on your first run ever has to be a world record. Nice job!
It is amazing how fast you can be when scared to death and amped on caffeine.
This car in ultra red is truly crazy
@@Mamba310 it is gorgeous. I have never owned a nice car so I went all out on this one.
@@mountainmantesla4395 u certainly did … this car is the best bang for buck anyone can get right now. It’s ludicrous
Great close races. Thank you for uploading this and sharing it with us. The Model 3 Performance is an awesome vehicle, especially for the price.
I had so much fun. I have never been to a drag race or raced before.
@@mountainmantesla4395 How did the feeling of Gforces affect you? Did it make you feel sick or get a headache?
@@myxalplyx Yes. I was supposed to race until 10pm and I went home at 7. The heat didn't help.
And it's been 2 days and my eyeballs still hurt and I feel like I played tackle football.
Props to that amg but that model 3 is a beast!
He sure sounded better than me. It was 100 degrees and there was a strong headwind which is both an advantage to me or he would have got me
That amg was held back by it’s absurdly long gearing, but yeah great race!
Byt the AMG is stock a real performance car that can use it's power for more than a few minutes.
@@phyr-4g It was nowhere near stock.
@@mountainmantesla4395My point was the AMG can handle performance driving also when stock. The M3P overheats everywear and gets power reduced to half in minutes.

I'm jealous! My Model S long range does 10.8 in the quarter. This model 3 is as fast!!! Good reaction time for your first run!
Thanks, I should be able to get down to 10.7 if I am not at sea level and pre heat the battery.
I’m surprised that modded e55 hanged with model 3, those are 20 years old. For $50k this m3p is an amazing deal and will be a bargain in 5 years.
I'm not surprised at all. Friend had a Renntech tuned E55 and it was a beast on the highway
@@TommyboyGTP those m113k engines are bulletproof but can barely break 20mpg on highway and single digits in the city. I had one of those 5.4l v8s, tank motor but still require lots of maintenance.
If it hadn't been 100 degrees he would have beat me.
@@mountainmantesla4395 Maybe you can team up for another video when the weather is cooler :)
Yeah those W version MB were beast back in the day. I think stock E55’s were trapping 117-119mph in the quarter back then.
I get mine tomorrow, super excited, I really hope there is a performance boost upgrade (maybe an actual Ludacris mode), but all-round, this car is a monster, good races!
The G forces are insane.
There won't be, the battery is maxed out and already overheating on the track.
Nice shout out to your wife as your sponsor 😂
My channel got a corporate sponsor today, so I am going to have to ask her to move out now 😜
@@mountainmantesla4395 😂
@mountainmantesla4395 Thanks for sharing! Nice runs. As a Reno High alumnus, it's good to see there may be a ultra red M3P out there for Hot August nights ;)
Good runs! Hope to see you next month at the track and hope its colder out
@@Benzonlygarage I was planning a trip to Denver for next month to race at 6000 feet and just found out they closed the drags there.
Nice runs, hoping to upgrade from my standard to the performance soon!
Great run with a highly modified E55! ❤
you gave up .0166 on the tree and still won! Close race!
Thanks. My reaction time started the day good, but the heat got to me. I was exhausted.
Make sure you turn off your AC when running at the track. Don’t want to leave any water on the track.
That's great advice, I never thought about that
Thanks. I forgot on just one run. It was 100 degrees and with the fire suits I couldn't keep it off between runs.
Amazing Car!
Yep
Awesome car
Thanks, I am doing my 3rd road trip in 2 weeks with it tomorrow. I love it.
Beautiful ride, man!!!
Thanks, I love it
You are a natural; great job with those launches. Congratulations on the car! I get mine in August.
You are going to love it.
Damn, under 11. That Ioniq 5 N is 11.13
If I get up in altitude and take some stuff off the car I should run a 10.5
Man,,, 034 reaction time is very good, 0.18 is crazy good.
10.9 is the fastest i have seen yet.
Thanks. I will do a 10.75 next time. Going up in elevation and have a couple other tricks in my bag.
Notice how the Mercedes drops back on each gear shift?
Actually, the M3P simply out accelerated the MB. 😳
I did notice. I was also shocked he got me off the line.

They gonna ban the M3P like the Demon lol
5:45 why was his trap speed like almost 6.5mph faster lol looked like he passed the line at an identical speed.... odd
This is my first time at a track. I have no idea what trap speed is. Now I have to Google......
Trap speed is how fast you’re going in the 1/4 mile. As you can see towards the end of the race he’s pulling on you hard. If the race was from a roll, the AMG would pull on you hard due to the 6.5-7mph difference.
@@sunnys14Let's not move the goal posts.
Every shift cost him.
I was blown away at how quick a 2wd car was off the line.
How much do you weigh? also a downhill dragstrip, what the hack. You could put it in natural and roll the whole way.
I am 155, and it is an optical illusion that makes it look downhill. This is Sonoma Raceway it is a certified drag strip.
@@curtspray It has to be within 1% grade. But there is also a head wind and it is at sea level.
@@mountainmantesla4395 got a red one order pickup with in the week
You don't need race car driver to drive an ev
I wanted to see how things work. I had never been to a track before. And he really wanted to try my car. It was the fastest he had ever been in.
How much HP on that AMG?
@@Rodger16 havent dyno it with this current setup but it did make 630whp on pump gas and its now on full E85. So i would guess maybe 730whp also vehicle weighs 4200lbs
@@Benzonlygarage I had one of those M113K engines back in the day and it was a beast. Lovely car you have there.
Not enough😊
You shouldn’t buy a car that you can’t handle same thing I suppose goes for a motorcycle
I agree. This is a straight line. There is a learning curve for staging the car and such, but nothing about the car was an issue.
Its a shame Tesla gives us a shitty LG battery in germany. No reason to upgrade. Which braindead DEI hire decided that?
It's probably the unions in Germany that made a deal demanding it. It seems everything is run by unions there.
@@mountainmantesla4395 what have german unions to do with the cars that are build in Shanghai and shipped to Europa and China?
@@romansenger2322 you're right I forgot they don't make the 3 in Germany.
@@mountainmantesla4395 Weird anti union rhetoric?
