Amg E55??? How fast are AMG E55's, I was messing around with one today, and I couldn't get traction and I still was hanging with it pretty well. We didn't really get any races in it was just a couple punches here and there, couldn't really tell how i stacked up..it seemed pretty fast though.

I've run a few. Nothing from a dig, because the Benz tranny's are really conservative. Most people with Benz's just stomp on the gas and hope for the best. I work the hell out of the shifter on mine, to actually get the power out of the heavy beast.
Now, on the freeway, that's a different story. When rolling, they can be trouble. Oh and don't get me started on the CLS AMG. That fricken thing ran me down on the 5 and I couldn't catch it, even post 120mph!

You'll need to get the jump and hope that he runs out of ***** before he runs you down. That's what happen to me and an M5... (man, I wish I had that one on tape).

Buddy of mine ran 12.5 at 111 mph 100% bone stock at the same drag strip that my auto C5 ran 13.5 at 103 mph bone stock...It took my auto C5 378rwhp to trapp the same 111 mph his auto e55AMG trapped at the same strip ,So yea id say their pretty fast.

They don't scare me, my brothers CL600 puts up similar #'s but because of the torque advantage its a beast from a roll. Damn its crazy what these stock sedans are able to run would not mind a CLS63 myself!
