Hey wiz, you got pics of the E55, I can upload mine. I never met a fellow 55 owner before.

BTW: The E55 clocked the exact same time as bmxperts Lamborghini timeslip.

Go Mercedes!

Hey Lex its your lucky day

I'm another E55 owner.

Oh yes the old war horse was fantastic on this years rally. Although i did feel like i was cheating, crusing along in total comfort, while the other guys struggled with back ache. Mines had the restricter taken out, I was told it was good for 189mph, but we showed 196mph on 2 handheld GPS in Morroco during this years rally

Next year im takin the G, which means lower back pain throughout the rest of 05

Was that a Challange Stradale in that video ?? How would the Challange Stradale stack up against the Gallardo in a similar situation ?? I cannot find any consistant performance numbers for the Gallardo; every test I've seen has the numbers "all over the map" ! Does anyone know for real how the two cars( CS vs. Gallardo ) really compare ?????

Sorry Lexani, I was a little busy as of late. Anyway, my car is the boring Brilliant Silver with 19" ASA ST4 wheels. I was going to get the OEM 19" AMG, until I found out its about 5 lbs per wheel than the 1/5 priced ASA.

I don't have any picture of my E55. I'll snap up some pictures when I get a chance.

Ah, no worries, just wanted to see your E55, no rush, and thanks for taking the time to take some snapshots when you can.

Mercedes is talking over the car world!!!! E55 beats a 360. The SL65 supposidly ties/beats the gallardo. The SLR is trying to take the Murcie. Who would have thought that good old Mercedes Benz would make this huge rush into the world of high performance cars? I feel bad for Ferrari, knowing that their 360 got destroyed by a German sedan.

It's not all about numbers or who wins in a quarter mile. My friend got his SL65 the same time I got my Gallardo and he would rather have the Gallardo than the SL65. The SL is faster thanks to 738 ft-lbs of torque, but the Gallardo is much more fun to drive. The SL is a GT, the Lambo is a sports car.
