Might be fast, eh? The E55 only has 148 less horsepower. I guess it should be a close race.

If you don't believe it check this out... Top Gear did a 1/2 mile drag race between the SLR and the SL55 AMG (which is the same motor as the E55 and runs about the same times due to slight difference in weight) Believe me the SLR will smoke the E55. I work for a Mercedes Dealership Our first SLR arrives in february.

Can you say walked? And the SL55 has 493hp as opposed to the 469hp that the E55 has.

LS1TA, still don't think that an E55 would get blown off the road like that?

hmm didn't pay that close of attention... must be to make up the weight difference... on a different note had our first CL65 in the show room last week... that thing sounds sick idles like a boat in the water and is just mean when you get on it... then again it IS a 604hp Twin Turbo V12


Oh and for those who haven't watched the vid I posted yet the SLR beats the SL55 by 5 seconds in a 1/2 mile drag race.

If anyone is interested, the dealership where that video was filmed at is asking $1.1 million for the SLR.
