Competitive runs would be great. I'll see if I can arrange it before the C32 goes away, if it does. Would be nice to run on the drag strip side by side. Photos: If I knew how to post them I would.
My first reaction is that the suspension on the C55 is stiffer. Hope this is the case. As for straight line acceleration, they are very close, but I've seen C55 times at the dragstrip and it was about 0.2 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile than my C32. The other great change is the steering wheel shifting, and manual mode (which I am still getting used to). Even in Sport or Comfort, you can down/up shift with the buttons behind the steering wheel.
Juan, have you honed in on an E55 yet??
