My buddy just got a 2006 E55 AMG and took it to the drag strip tonight and ran a 12.44 1/4 mile. That mother is fast, very fast. You actually feel G forces when you hit the gas, and cars just dissapear behind you.

When I was at California Speedway with Hayaku, there was a guy in a S55 and when that thing came around the front straight, it absolutely screamed. It sounded like an oldtime muscle car.

MB/AMG have boiled down to just muscle cars; they can haul ass goin straight, but it pretty much ends there. If the M5 was a 14.5 second car, I'd probably still take it over an E55 just because it handles so fantastically.

AMG's have lots of muscle but only come in an auto. Not for me. Quarter mile times don't mean anything to me. I've seen a mini-van do sub 11 - doesn't mean I want one.
