Sup guys,

I was riding on the 241 toll road early this morning and I played a little tag with a midnight blue (?) w211 E55 AMG. Well, I was doing all the work and the E55 was just "playing" =pp. We both looked and waved at each other as we parted. lol, just wondering if it was anyone here?

Vic55

I was on the toll road but I have a silver E55. I had a nice run up to 135mph.

krk230

I got up to 180..............






























km/h...lol

psk145

maybe l8apex? I know he's around the south OC and has that color car.

jangy

Didi it have plates?


sniff sniff......Jay?

L8Apex

That was me! Very nice 190 btw. It looked like a 80's DTM car. Good fun.

Vic55

We should start an E55/E63 spotted thread here ...

L8Apex

Do it Vic!

krk230

oh, awesome! i figured it had to be a forum member.

thanks for the compliment.

it's a 1993 190E 2.3, btw. =pp it's has appx. 1/3 the hp of your car, *sigh*...hahah.

Vic55

I will but the problem is I need to spot an E55 and I havent seen one lately let alone a 63.

How about you meet me on the 241/133 and we can both post.

L8Apex

Say when. I'm always on one of those roads.

KRK230,

I use to race a 190 2.6 w/ the reverse euro tranny back in Ohio years ago. Great handling and reliable car. What suspension are you running?

psk145

I can bust a drive by if you like also!! I live in Ladera so its all close to me! I've never been spotted, it would be a first!

Vic55

I have my 55 today and will be shooting up the 133 around 7pm.

I actually have seen a few non modded 55's in the last 4-5 months but I have yet to see a truly nice modded E55 outside of meets.

JAY55

Vic my man, so which ride is faster? Your 55 or 65?

Vic55

The 65 is modded to about 670 hp and 780 tq so it is faster up top for sure. I pulled it to 175mph the other day on a wide open 133 with no cars in the area and it got there quick and smooth. From a dig I might like the E55 because of the mods though- they are pretty neck and neck but launching that v12 bi-turbo is not always so easy.

jangy

DUDE!! 670 / 780 is just unreal!!

Vic55

its really not that much conisdering OEM numbers are 608hp and 738tq.

krk230

@L8Apex: Ya, indeed, it is a reliable and great handling car. My car has loads of miles on it, close to 200,000. lmao. I use it every day to commute to college.

I'm using H&R Sport springs and Bilstein Sport shocks.

jangy

No, I'm not amazed at the mods, I just am in awe from that 780TQ number. Man, I just have fallen for TQ with mine and i may be in the 500TQ range at best. I don't know that I can imagine what an extra 300TQ would even feel like!!

Jrocket

Hmmmm,early morning weekend speed runs on the toll roads might be a trend here!

Vic55

Saturday's around 7am- wide open, good air temps and flat.

jangy

Are we organizing a sighting party?

SD Crew may wanna come see??

Jrocket

Theres a slight chance of a silver E55 running up and down the toll road early Sunday morning,thats if i can get out of bed early enough..

Vic55

Sunday is a good day to go to Laguna Beach and have some Captain Crunch french toast at Hennesseys (spelling?). The road there is the 133

krk230

What up, guys?

Okay...so I was driving on the toll road again this morning...same place, around the same time (a little bit after 7a). Saw a silver E55 fly-by me. The car sounded amazing, btw. =pp Looked like it had black wheels and a lip spoiler. Couldn't really tell, dude was hauling ***. lol.

(I was driving my dad's black w140).

...


also saw a black E63 at the Kaleidoscope in Mission Viejo yesterday afternoon.
