Messed with an E55
We nailed it at 55-60 mph and stopped at 115. It was dead even.
I expected to get beaten pretty badly since my car is stock still. I was happy that it was even. Those things are BEASTS. I'd love to have one as a daily.

You wouldn't want to meet my CLK 60.
Lighter, 6.0L, high pressure supercharger and only MB CLK with a 6 speed in the world.

The tt is my daily driver in summer. The E55 is my winter beater ... but it's a damn fast one.

Love my E55 as a daily but I'm sure its no 911 TT. I had a little fun with an organge Gallardo the other day. He came flying up behind me (they all accelerate when they notice its an E55) and changed lanes and passed on the Right so of course I followed. We had a little fun before it became to conjested. Damn I hate when that happens.. The Gallardo in Orange is stunning!! By the way. I live in Palm Beach, County Fl and I was planning on starting a new thread but I will mention it now. I was wondering if anyone in the area would like to swap cars for a day or two. Im looking to test a turbo for a few days and would love for someone who hasnt driven the E55 to get a little taste. Am I crazy???? P.S My car is leased so I drive it like its stolen! Ty Nick

I'll have to go to the warehouse and take some. I currently don't have a pic other than the article on my car in Motor Trend. I believe May 2000. It's on the front cover as a "Porsche Eating Luxo Coupe."

I know it's been requested before, and I can understand if you'd prefer to keep your collection private, but can you please post pics of your other cars (at your home and warehoue?)? Please...I'm sure it would make HotRodGuy very happy as well.
Here's hoping...
