The newer supercharged ones will keep up with the 03's... Just keep that in mind.

Here is some specs on it...

"Under the hood is a supercharged 5.5-litre V8, good for an adequate 476 horsepower and 512 lb-ft of torque."

1/4 mile = 12.5
0-60 = 4.3
weight = 4200 OUCH
base price = 74,000 OUCH again

No one saw the vid where the bone stock E55 gave a spanking to the 03 with pulley's and exhaust and im not even sure what else? E55's are bad ***, it would take a few mods to beat one.

I don't believe the one that raced the Cobra was bone stock...

I raced one here in Hawaii from a 30mph roll... and I pulled a car and a half through 3rd and half of 4th.

H/C and full exhaust at the time.

I raced a new supercharged E55 back when my car was stock and I got spanked. I didn't feel so badly when I saw the numbers that car puts down. Now with my cam and headers I sure wish I could find that car again!

I have a timeslip from Oct 12th 03 at Silver Dollar at Renolds Ga. The E55 was an 02 auto. My car at the time had a hotcam 4.10's and a lid/ no headers on stock radials.

Mine
60' 2.068
1/4 12.801@113.88

E55
60' 1.871
1/4 12.611@110.11

A friend of mine has a supercharge E55 along with a Falcon jet and a Cabo yacht. Tough life huh? I was in the E55 for a 0-100-0 blast. It was very fast with great torque. He would have ripped my little TA, at least for now.
