I just really like the manny tranny option and it also sounds sick, it is a bit slower and has less potential speedwise, but i prefer the looks and clutch.BTW would these not also be options? and E60 M5s can also be had for similiar prices that you mentioned....lots of good choices here.

07 335I interior is crappy IMO for a BMW. its like the budget version of the higher end model. My brother and I sat in it and didnt even bother test driving it thats how bad it was.
BTW my car will go 120+mph in the 1/4 with not many mods IMO(nitrous def helps lol). I am also about 1/2 car faster then a c5Zo6 from a roll on motor.

Why are people saying its expensive to mod an E55????? My buddies E55 that he just bought used makes more RWHP then any V.1 that I have seen on this site other then me 
Its in the 490-499 RWHP range (corrected Numbers) and hes got less then 5k in mods for sure. Not to mention everyone I know with AMG cars (alot) have had no issues that have been serious enough to hit the dealer. Its hands down a better car. I just did MAF's, Tune, and Filters on a c63. Whens the last time you saw a 334 torque increase for 1800 bucks on a V????? You can even use it because the REAR WONT BREAK!!! Sorry if I am bashing our cars a bit. I DO LOVE my car and have been through enough **** with it to talk ****!! just my 2 pennies...

And BTW, using power is very vague. Dumping the clutch at 6k on slicks is one way, roll racing at 60mph is one way, taking turns on a road course is one way.
I love the E55, but paying 130 bucks for an oil change is a bit much.

Add a 250 shot to a V and youll see it quite often. Also for less than 3500 im at that 490-499rwhp range.

Damn, you guys are on a roll. Keep it up, I'll just wait until the dust settles and pick through it and decide. Everyday I change my mind, no joke.
If I decided today, I would be back in a C6. No worries there, I guess everything else concerns me since it's unfamiliar, well not the CTSV really.
The CTSV (V2) is the top though, of all the cars so far. Don't like the 335 or the E63's.
C6
E55
CTSV (V2) Replaced by the original thought of an 06-06 CTSV-
Those are the choices I guess, so far.
I can have an 08 C6 ($32K) and 3/4's of an 05 E55 ($25K) for the price of one CTSV V2 (locally anyway).
Not to mention the C6 is night and day above them in terms of reliability-
My wife will hate me though and kids can't ride in 2 seaters until they are 40lbs..???

Make sure to get an aftermarket warranty on the E55 unless you can prove previous maintenance records. Those stupid head gaskets...
