Help me settle a W210 E55 argument...
I have a running disagreement with a couple other R129 owners over on benzworld, about the real-world 1/4mi times of the 99-02 E55.
Long story short, I say it runs mid to low 13's and they say it is a 14+ second car. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of times for stock 210 E55's. There are only a handful of W210 55 entries on dragtimes, and they mostly seem to be modded.
So those of you who have tracked your car, what times are you seeing?
Thanks in advance!

'99 E55 AMG
My '99 must be at least in the low 13's as I completely blew the doors off a new '08 Turbo Carerra tonight...from stop light to stop light...
I'd say my 0-40 run shocked the pants off the sucker! His car didn't even have plates yet! I'm sure he was wondering what the F**K just took out his $150k car! ha ha ha

2001 E55K
2001 stock best time was 14.00 in 90°F weather... only took it to the track once last season. Haven't run it yet with the Kleemann s/c.
Typically stock examples will range from 13.2-14.0. Those with mods will be faster.

Thanks everyone for your times, and especially thanks E55Jay for your timeslips!
The guys who were non-believers came around and (I think) have a better understanding of the capabilities of the vehicle now.
