Default AMG for Breakfast, M for lunch , Whats for dinner?

Just a little video of Silver Bullet eating an E55 AMG for breakfast, should have yelled out you paid too much at the end! Any of my Corvette brothers routinely dine on the expensive menu from Europe? The Mercedes AMG, BMW M. Audi RS buffet on your local freeways? What kind of European cars do you routinely wipe the smug smile off their drivers face?

Calm down there slugger. You beat a 4000lb stock luxury sedan with less displacement than you with a h/c/bolt on 3200lb car. Conrgats on the win but I highly doubt the E55 owner said "I need a C5 asap." BTW they make close to 600rwhp with pulley/tune/bolt ons, not too bad if you ask me.

I know how capable they are....they can run in the low 12's bone stock. I honestly am looking at either an E55 or CLS55 right now...but I don't know if that will be the sedan I end up with. I love the S600 and CL600 as well, very fast cars!

Ran a M-5 BMW and a couple of AMG Benz and they were pretty fast if you ask me, I was making 410 at the wheels at the time"

They are definitely fast, but you pay alot more for them upfront!

Because you're paying for a lot more than performance.

Well said! I am one of those 550RWHP 620 RWTQ daily driving CL55`s, with heated/cooled massage seats. etc. etc Not going to brag about all the vettes I have killed on the street or at the track , as this is not the place..

All I can say, after having and driven both kinds of cars, there is a certian smile you get having a world class luxury sedan , that can run solid low to mid 11`s..Most of all, noone would ever guess that it has a factory supercharger, 6 bolt cross drilled mains, forged parts and a ton of light to light Torque!! Plus you get your **** massaged while making the kill!


No offense, I am a car enthusiast and that is plural not singulair..

I love E55's to be honest with you, either that or a CL or S600 will probably soon be joining the fleet. This car is a nitrous car ( 150 shot ) so I guess I got excited for a N/A kill against a formidable opponent.

The new V is an absolute monster, I will own one in the next few years! Also my friend just bought an E55 so this was an underhanded slap to his face..LOL.
