How fast is a w210 55?

I was in a friends modded G35 that ran an uncorrected13.9 @ 104 in south texas and he installed gears after this.We ran a Clk w208 with 430 badges and he kept up to about 80.The g35 pulls c5 vettes and trans ams worse than this. Could this of been a rebaged 55or spraying????He claimed he was stock and was surprised we had beat

Well, I know I pulled away from a Porsche Cayman yesterday on the interstate. He tried to give me a run.

They might not be the fastest Porsche out there, but they handle going around a slight curve better than me

That sounds fast for a CLK430 and he must have had something under there...

I race a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera C4S last August. He pulled fast off the line but once my rear tires hook up i was 3 car infront of him (damn ASC). It was a 2 out of 3 race but I won both time. Later i realize i had my AC on.

All I can say is our w210 E55's 354 Hp+ with great gearing are fast on the highway. I have been with Viper's, Lambo's, Ferrari's, Porsche's and all of them did not walk me that much and some I walked! Cars that did Porsche C. GT, heavy modded lambo's and cars yea, but you will always be only a few cars behind. This freaks these guys out every time I run with them and I have been on every FL supercar run for the last two years www.southfloridatoys.com check it out if you see a silver E55 in the video's it's mine.

This past weekend we all ran to the Supercar car show in PB. The police were all over us this time and my K40 laser Diff. worked great. I was in front with a Lambo, Ferrari, Lambo behind me going 100 when I looked over at the side of the road a State Trooper with a laser gun fired it at me during hard brakes still 85 we flew by no problem. Thanks K40!

I'm saying the same thing.. An E55 W210 has a hard time running with my W202 C55 and I have a hard time running with E60 M5's,Lambo's and Ferrari's WOT.

I test drove the 02 e55 today. Even with the 275 rears its hard to get traction! Too bad it had over 77k miles. They wanted $21k+ for it.

I did not say I was at the 1/4 mile track doing side by side runs. I said highway runs up to 150 MPH. Some of these cars do not walk my AMG. It only has a few mods, and I've been driving very fast cars ever since I started driving. Fast cars being (Porsche 935 1000+ HP, Mustang Cobra 500+ HP, Chevy LS7 454 700+ HP and so on) If you want to come out on the next run go to the web site and see the dates. I don't race, I run in the pack.

Yes a W211 E55 will do even better. M5 they do very well, I've run them and they have passed me, but I'm still only a few cars back. Remember it's for the fun, not My car is faster then yours. I don't care I just enjoy being around a good group of people in fast cars. Have fun.

W210 E55 runs good for it's day. But upstairs these E60 M5's lambo's and such should pull you with authority. We run in packs with those guys here in NY as well. Plenty of vids in the E55 W211 forum where sleeperX and others are featured. Those cars are a job for the car you see in my sig. And no W210E55 is running with that.
