Default Damn those E55's are fast

Got motioned by to young guys in a Red E55(that thing was sexy) to follow, got on 485 went from a 60 roll, hung with them in 2nd, to mid third, then they lost me..that thing is fast as ****..they were cool, slowed back and gave me thumbs up, I just dropped my jaw, grinned and did the same, maybe I will be able to find them in a few weeks when I go on the giggle juice

They run low 12's stock, 469 hp 516 lb/ft of torque. Not bad for a 5000 lb car.

They are fast. Every time I meet up with one I'm always in a slow car. Tried racing one in a accord. When he stomped on the go pedal I almost got out the car to see what was wrong. He was GOooooooooonnnne.

Actually, they weigh closer to 4500 lb. Maybe 5K with a couple of very heavy people in it

A decent H/C package with a good tune should be enough to beat them. I walk them from a dig or a roll

Nice death

Yea, a good H/C can really pull em. Last weekend, my brother-in-law and I ran one twice and killed him each time BAD! I gave him the jump both times too stayed on it until mid-end of 3rd. Here is a repost.....


About a year ago with only bolt ons, I ran across an AMG E55 and got spanked pretty good 3 times from a roll. Around 2 cars worth. Update, same lameass, but this time heads and cam. I do a uturn and he is in front of me, I actually hear him hit it as I am begining to straighten out and I ****** nail it with my brother-in-law Khris93TA in the car. I make up the 1.5 car jump shifting to 2nd evening it, pull like crazy and as I shift into 3rd, no lie he is now a full car behind us, then stay on it spinning like crazy keep flat out walking away! So most of 3rd I am 3+ cars ahead, he gives in as we catch the next light and do it agian, he gave up this time as we bang 3rd since he did not have the jump as before! Then he pulls up yelling that car is quick! I love the heads and cam. That is the same young guy and same car that pulled me 6 months ago, and my brother will confirm, we ate it up spinning all the way, left big *** black marks! Then a minute later a Porsche 993 tailing us pulls up complementing the *** kicking asking "what the hell do you have?" My sister was behind us in her 05 SRT-4! Hey, quick car too! Be safe all!

They're not bad. I killed an SL55 AMG with three times from a roll. The driver didn't look happy about it.

My buddy is a lead tech at Bill Ussery Mercedes here in Miami, still trying to get him to 'coincidently' meet up with me when working on an SL65, those things are just plain retarded fast!
