from what i can tell, this says 0-62 mph in ~5.1. is that true? how can this be faster than the E55? i think they claim it does 0-60 in 4.2

I just picked up an E63 two weeks ago also. Couldn't pass up the unbelievable deals on this car and since I've never owned an AMG vehicle before, thought I'd give it a shot. Will post pics soon, but needless to say, I'm enjoying a "firm" break-in period and can't wait to explore potential hp upgrades.

Vadim, this is Scott Gladstone. I was over at the shop the other week, catching up with Fabryce and heard that you joined GMG. Congratulations. Shoot me a PM if you need a test car for some of the power packages.

Having an E63 in the family and also a CLS500 the leases those guys are at is much higher than the one posted here for a grand or so. I would have to lean towards the higher end of the BS flag at that rate unless its some ridiculous 6 year lease deal.

Scott, how are you?

Good choice on E63! Thank you for the offer. I do have a local client that we will use starting next week for R&D. I will post the results ASAP.

went to look at it after work. was actually ready to pull the trigger. well, the special lease ended yesterday!! i guess i am disappointed but happy at the same time.

the deal was 999 plus tax for 33 months with 10k miles per year and 5K down payment. the actualy drive off would be clsoe to 7k. however, the dealer was willing to negotiate a little on that rate.

based on today's rate, it would be approximately 300 more a month.

i missed the E55 deal by one day last year too!!

That would have been a sweet deal... That's a lot of car for $1K/mo.

I don't know about those videos... In one of them, the E55 beats a 996TT.

The URL won't seem to work, so click the link below and scroll down a little and it will be on the right.

Can a stock 996tt be beaten by a stock E55?
