figures from AutoCar's review
I agreed then I realized the figures were lifted from the Autocar review. Damn, if only we could achieve those numbers as regular drivers.

Let's face it Autocar got a ringer with the car that turned these numbers.

Reminds me of Pontiac in 1964 giving Car & Driver a GTO with a hotted up 428 C.I. engine instead of the stock 389 C.I. for the infamous Ferrari GTO vs. Pontiac GTO test. Years later the Pontiac marketing man that pulled it off admitted his trickery but it sure sold a lot of Pontiac GTO's.

E55 came out in late 98 in most of the European market. before the E55 it was the E50 that never made it into the states.

I see 2003 SL55 13.0 on the quarter mile, I start doubting this sites accuracy. That should be more like a 12.4

I do belive this site is more accurate so far. I like the fact that you can also list your mods.
