Hey, in all the commotion, I do believe we all failed to mention you own the fastest stock Mercedes E55 in the USA. I don't think anyone has hit 11.8 on street tires (no DR's)
Congrats Hous!!!

Maybe I should start driving my M5 "like I stole it" and I can get the car a bit faster
Hour, did you get your car new?
I sold my CL55 and left the K2 and LSD in (some lucky owner will think his "stock" car is FAST as heck)
Great times!!

How much you think the Goodyear tyres (aka tires) contributed to the time ?
Did you have any runs before on the stock contis?

Everyone always says to not drive the car hard during the 1000 miles because it'll supposedely make the engine better. Well i never really believed that and this just goes to show what it can do. My theory is this, if you're always pushing the car doesn't the engine get broken in like it's meant to be driven hard?
