Pics of my new ride are here:

wish it had better rims, need to get clear markers, an ECU tune, K&Ns, and drop it...wonder if that can be done with the STAR tool?

I am curious to see what times the '07 S class can run. Every time on dragtimes is the 99-06 body style. The hp is the same. Run it soon to get some #'s.

The 07 S-Class is an amazing car.... add to that the S65 AMG engine and you've got a lethal weapon at the track

Congrats, and enjoy the new beast when it arrives

Congrats on an amazing car!! I'm just not ready to be that mature yet. Enjoy it, and hopefully we'll see a 200+mph run soon.

yep i will definitely take it to MIR and see what it runs. i would like to try stock, stock + DRs then ECU tune + DRs. The car I think is 300lbs heavier than the previous model so it should be slower by 0.2-0.3 tenths.

wonder what the VRP package would do to this car, wake it up?

Nice! I'm sure the car hugs it's occupants but I didn't mean "big" in a negative sense. S65's or anything-65 are kicka$$, but I was just thinking more about how an E55 can fit into compact parking spaces where an S series will not. Parking is really scarce where I roam and the public parking garages are almost too tight for even an E class.

What's with the alignment of the headlight on the left side?

It looks like it's popped in or something...

Congrats!!! You are in the big baller league now with Jason, Tom, Stephen, Jody, Marko, Marcus etc etc. I say we take the E55 out one last time, a 10s timeslip may help in the sale lol

Whoa, good eye. Seems the alignment there is definitely a bit funky.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
HOT car, good for you...

After my 63, I either want one of those or CLK63 Black,
I have driven plenty of cars and really love the well-balanced versatility/dependability of the AMGs....

Do it! You owe your car and yourself that run!!!! If I'm getting close with the weather I've run in I know you'll do it for sure.

i will give it one last attempt, you got at least 20whp more from the bigger TB. I still can't believe your 132 trap...you're approaching Supra territory.

My guess is i will go the same since 40whp will be offset by a delta of potentially 3K feet since I was in negative DA when i went 11.11
