Anyone here take the toll road this morning? Irvine.
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?

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?

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.

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.

@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.

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!!

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.
