E55....

E55 is the lightest of any of the 55's.

E55 is also claimed to have less hp then the sl55/sl55/cl55....
This was just due to a moron in marketing at mercedes.

E55 is faster, however i believe the 07 sl55 has more hp/tq due to a new throttle body that is 80mm. This throttle body is avaliable at renntech and at kleenman

The E is the lightest and fastest of the 55 Kompressors, not all 55s.
