99 t/a vs. 06 mercedes amg E55 so I was crusin around town when I saw this mercedes e55 rollin 4 deep with older guys maybe in their 30's. They were all stairin talkin to each other laughin and kept lookin over while the driver was doggin me with this cocky look like his benz was bout to dust me or something. So I tell him nod for him to go on so he nails it, my windows were down and I could instantly tell that the car had a supercharger on it so I instantly punched it. right at 35 when i shifted into 2nd my car yanked a full length in front of him. next light they roll up next to me and wont even look at me and were actin like they were talkin to each other. Went home looked them up and found out that they are 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and have 469hp supercharged v8. Now how in the hell did I pull that guy so hard if them cars are that fast?

Just a thought but four guys ( average 190 each ) = 570 pounds heavier than you if you go 190 ish .... 600 pounds is abit of a disadvantage ....dunno just my .02

You can sure tell the new AMG E55's because they have 4 tailpipes - 2 on each side - and it says 'E55' on the left rear and 'AMG' on the right.
Good kill. I like when people talk **** then pretend they weren't even racing you. Everyone in the car knows what really happened, though.

If it was a E55 AMG with 469hp and over 500ft/tq, then he wasn't racing you. A few years back brand new e55 with paper tags ran high 11's at Capitol when I was there.

AMG's are beatable.

BubbaBFP went heads up with an AMG. Im sure if it was heads up, just one driver on each car, he would have spanked you very nicely.

They dyno a little over 400rwhp bone stock. Others have dynoed as high as 425rwhp and quite abit more in TQ. I wouldn't say it was a slouch. They can run 11's with only a good tire. Not too shabby for a luxury 4 door. 
Maybe your car is just fast. Assuming you raced an E55 AMG. The base E55 is nothing special.
Nice kill.
