Jason talked to him sometime this week I believe. Thanks for sending him our way. As far as I know were doing the work. Just a matter of scheduling it in.

Good kill
Good kill
That "469BHP" is underestimated btw. A few of these have dynoed 425-430RWHP bone stock. They are no slouch and they are NOT that heavy for a luxury 4-dr sedan either. Less than 4k lbs. Nice kill.

Excellent performer for a luxury car.
Do your research about the weight dude.
E55, CL55, SL55, CLS55, S55 ALL weigh a LOT more than 4K lb.
Do you even know what the Ultra Exotic, "light weight," two-door, Supercharged V8, Mercedes-McLaren SLR weighs?? Here's a hint . . . still a lot more than a loaded F-body LS1.
And the SLR is FAAAAAAAAAAAAR lighter than it's much cheaper bretheren.

That greatly depends on the H/C set-up of said LS1.

here's a video of a race with a 2006 e55 amg.
we took the video from the amg (stock, left lane) against my cararo (see mods in sig, right lane) and my buddies camaro (400rwhp cam only plus a 100 shot N20, in the middle lane). we raced from about 20mph to 140mph
the e55 is no slouch. when my buddie raced him without the juice (cam only, 400rwhp), it was a really close race. those things are damn fast and man are the sweet to ride in.

heres the numbers i got from road and track the price is list price without options:
Mercedes-
C55AMG,$53,900-362hp v-8, 13.5@106.9MPH 1/4
CLK500-$52,800,302HP, V-8, 13.7@104.5MPH 1/4
E55AMG-$75,000,469HP,V-8,12.4@116.4MPH 1/4
SL65 AMG-$179,000,604HP,V-12,12.0@122.8
thats pretty expensive with half that money you can build a 10sec ls-1
