Bought E55, Selling C32 (So Cal)

I just bought an E55 and am looking to sell my C32. It is excellent condition, runs strong. Most miles are freeway (commute to work), it has been garaged and babied.

Thanks. I will give the buyer the old 32 rims...I also have the factory suspension.
Anyway, if you know anyone feel free to have them give me a call.

You should post it in Autotrader.com, also.

Thanks.

I don't know if I will do it again to get video as I don't want to beat up either car too much, but I was able to take the E55 out against the C32 last week.

The E55 pretty much pulled from begining to end. From 0-100, the E55 was about 2.5 car lengths ahead of the C32. Both cars had ESP on, sport mode(s) on, did not power brake, etc. Same results from rolling start. However, I did give the C32 about a 1/2 second jump once rolling at about 10MPH and it was tough to reel him in until about 80 MPH.

Driving both, the power delivery is very similiar. The E55 has just more of it. The C32 is much more agile than the E55, brakes feel more responsive, handles better (with the H&R Coilovers), etc. The E55 is just a beast in a straight line...not saying the C32 isn't an animal as well.

Too bad your C32 isn't stage 1 or 2 modded - I'd like to see how close they ran then...

[QUOTE=c32silverbullet;2337618]Thanks.

According to Dragtimes.com, I would have thought the E55 should win by an easy 10 lenghts. Since every stock E55 is running low 12's and every stock C32 is running low 13's. Wow, I guess I will take my G-tech with me for a test drive in the E55 to see some 0-60 times before I spend $20,000 for two more cylinders

Thanks for the info!!!!!!

See yeah

Interesting. It confirms my freeway experience with my stage 2 (minus headers) C32 versus a presumably-stock E55. We were essentially evenly-matched from 60-100.

Anyways, thanks for the info, and good luck with the 55!
