Despite forum member “macko’s” prowess with killing Camaros and giving GT-Rs a run for their money with his 2005 E55 AMG, Macko’s got a bit of a traction issue.

Over the past year, forum member “bstudey01” has been chasing the ever-elusive sub-11-second barrier with his 2003 E55 AMG. After working with a few speed shops and getting what they describe as a “killer race tune”, the car finally managed a 10.85 @ 128 mph.

Another drag race, and another chance to see a W211 E55 AMG beat a big-bad American straight-line performer at its own game.

This happens every time I watch a Mercedes-Benz race a Mustang. The Mercedes says goodbye to the starting line like a player leaving the scene of a one-night stand. The Mustang leaves the starting line screaming and protesting like someone being arrested on an episode of “Cops”.

I’ve always pictured the devil as a fiery-red character with horns, tail, and a cape – but now, he’s silver, has a V8, and a set of beautiful custom wheels.

I’ve heard that women are attracted to power. The stock Gallardo Spyder in this video must have a lady’s name because it wants to take its top off when Shardul’s modded 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG flexes its engine’s muscles.

Oh, (John) Deere. This isn’t even fair. A family four-door towing a trailer and a lawn tractor versus a sports car in a drag race. That poor Nissan 350Z owner.
