'06 E55
Raced my first E63 today....

I was on Westheimer in Houston. The E63 was in front of me at the light. So he had the hole shot. He punched it and then I followed. He did not spin the rears so he must have had the ESP on. I caught him right away and passed him before shifting into 2nd. I let off at about 90 and he was two-three car lengths behind. All of the tests on the 55 have been done with low mile cars. It seems as though mine has gotten faster as I have put miles on it. I’m at about 3,800 now. I’m not sure what year the E63 was (probably '07). All I know is it was a 211. With all the banter on this site about how slow the 55 is…it was nice to race one (E63) and see him in my rear view mirror…Or maybe he wasn’t trying…

*all in good fun, but I couldnt resist

I own an E55 and I am getting kinda embarrased about the other E55 owners on this board. The more E63 people post, the more E55 owners bashed them.
I just don't get it. We all own a very very nice car. Both of them are very very fast. AMG came out with a new model, be happy for the other owners. You don't see E63 owners saying E55 suck. But you do get the feeling that E55 owners don't have the same respect.
AMGs are very nice cars. Lets just let it be and all be happy we are lucky enough to drive these cars.

Champ 'till you get the snot slapped out of you. the E63 hasn't been there and so doesn't need to defend itself.

LOL. It’s all in good fun… Boy you’ll get upset with the idea of an E55 loss. I have no idea if my car is faster, I’ve only raced one (who lost miserably)…but the ridicule I have received is unpredicted…We’re all AMG lovers no?

More importantly, why do all of you need to call me a liar? Laugh behind your computers…The next man that wants to say that to me can meet me with the SD crew. Don’t know who will win, but I have never insulted anyone on this board…I can’t say the same for you’ll…
