Mercedez E55 vs V
Anyone have any comments on this? A friend of mine is getting one. Will it be bye-bye time to me.

Re: Mercedez E55 vs V
You get too concerned with others. A s/c E55 will hand you your ass on the strip. On a road course? You'll hand him his...

no one can be a Jim - It takes years of practice and dedication - I am in line for learning some of his experiences in VII day.
But with the maggie I could keep up with E55 and probably would have taken him even on the straights

Re: Mercedez E55 vs V
I've been looking for an E55 and E60 M5 to run for a while now. I bet I'd be damn close.

Re: Mercedez E55 vs V
Damn close? I would hope with all that stuff you have done to your V that you could take em. I don't keep up with the foreign stuff much. Those things aren't as fast as a viper are they?

Re: Mercedez E55 vs V
My pops has an 05 E55 and we have run a few times getting on the freeway on ramp. It isn't close. Those cars pull like no other. 469hp and 520tq pretty much takes the Caddy out of contention. I do agree that on a road course it is another story. A bone stock 04-06 E55 has been known to break into the 11's in the 1/4.
