You know, that's a pretty good point...

0-60mph in only 3.8 seconds but what happens so that it only manages to finish the 1/4 mile above 12 seconds? I would have really hoped that it could achieve sub 12 seconds or 12 flat. Maybe I'm just being speedy greedy! :p

Isn't the stock E55 12.2 in the 1/4?

Nick

PS I'm interested in finding out what Bennyz's car does in the 1/4 with his mods.

thanks Benzo
and you are right, I would eat that thing for breakfast! :v
a car that weights 3540 + driver with 580 hp should get a 11.5 or so 1/4 mile
something is not right ...but I already have my C55 so I don't care much about it...and with all the mods...it's cheap!
I'm thinking of selling my car next month...(car has 7,000 miles on it and I will not even consider anything less than $90)

Time to get a new toy

anybody interested?

LOL - Now is that a stock wife or a tricked out wife?


So Bennyz...you're already bored with the C55? What car (if any) would you be looking at to replace it?

I don't know if bored is the proper word...
It's more like ready for a new challenge
There is nothing boring about my C55 - I still get butterflies when I punch it with the NOS on!

You know, you get something and you start to take it for granted...

as for what's next - I HAVE NO IDEA!
it's going to be very hard to find something that has this much power and is so much fun to drive without spending some "mucho dinero $$$$$$"
anything even close is well over $150,000 stock! - I'm thinking maybe a GT2 (which I consider THE CAR)
