E63, S550
I've been there but only tried their sandwiches. I've been on a mission for the last several months to find a local deli-style turkey sandwich like the ones from the delis in New York. Unfortunately my search has not fruitful. My wife spotted a sandwich deli off of Yorba Linda Blvd, I've just got to find it because she doesn't remember the cross-street.
I've been on a search for good local food for quite a while. Ever since moving from Long Beach where there is a great diversity of food, around here there are no good local:
1. Delis;
2. Thai restaurants;
3. Chinese restaurants;
4. Burger joints (I will try 50/50)
5. Chili cheese fries;
6. Hot-dogs (though Pinks opened up next to Knotts Berry Farm);
7. Dim sum;
8. Mexican food;
9. Vietnamese restaurants for good Pho or shaken beef;
10. Hawaiian BBQ.

I dont think there are great deli/sandwich places where we are at. In Irvine, the Jersey Mike franchise is not half bad along with Philly's best. There is a New York Deli in the OC called Gandolfo's. It might work for you:

If you like tacos, then Esters Taco House in Yorba rocks; flour hard shells and flour chips too.

If you roll 50/50 you have to actually get the 50/50 burger which is half ground beer and half ground bacon- a serious heart attack between a bun.

Crazy how this stuff happens... My gas peddle cover ended up sliding up the peddle. Just about totaled my car from it. I already had it replaced by the dealer before too!

Burgers, bacon, and beer are like manna from heaven 
I saw that 50/50 burger, I assume it's named 50/50 as in "you have a 50/50 chance of a coronary block" eating those burgers.
It sure looks good though

It's hard to believe but nobody has mentioned the IS-F's 400 pound weight advantage. Think of it as racing an E55 with a couple of 200 pound peeps in the back seat of your E63. In that case, there is no question what car would win that race. It takes more than driving skill or shifting to overcome that much weight advantage. As noted, the 20s don't help either, they are heavier regardless of diameter.

could be possible , arent the turbos ? I had a 330I stay about 3 lengths behind me from 70-140 and we all know how much power those cars make from just a tune . I hit it first and im pretty sure if he wouldve hit it first i wouldve been behind him .
my car was stock at the time less the charcoals .

IS-F's are quick. I like those cars in blue and the stacked tips is a nice touch.. I raced one one getting on the freeway in mexico @ 2am. He gunned it in front of me and got a jump. I booted the throttle immediately after and chased him onto the empty freeway. It looked like he was doing pretty good for a few secs. I caught him and pulled away after a buck. He got next to me but didn't want to play anymore. I taunted him a few times (The Beast was still hungry) but he just kept looking straight lol. Can't remember exactly. But, I'm pretty sure I had my 20s on as well.

A friend of mine just picked up a IS-F twin turbo. The turbo sit behind the rear bumber. He claim 600 whp but wouldn't race my E55. I think he bought someone's nightmare. Sweet looking car and pretty sounding too.

Interesting I beat a IS-F down the same street on two occasions. It was probably the same guy as I always see it around the hills. I raced from the lake view exit though. Those are some fun places to drive a little quick since there is no cross traffic or pedestrians I guess I just got lucky or he wasn't trying lol, but I looked at their specs and they are pretty close to mine except a little more HP which I probably match with my exhaust unrestricted and my car has more torque. I guess their gearing is a little better and I am getting sick of hearing this ha, when is AMG going to get their gearing correct? I go to slaters every once in a while I met the owner they messed up my order 3 times in a row even after the owner said he would fix it for me personally I didn't even complain, but he came to apologize which I thought was really nice of him and my meal was free. Nice place to hang out since there are no bars really in Anaheim except foxfire haha (no thanks) only problem is they don't serve liquor.

With the minor mods that you quote in your sig....sorry, but reality doesn't play out like that. 
You're giving up 50 hp stock, to a car with similar torque and weight. Your car is half a second slower 0-60 and half a second slower in the quarter stock.

E63>C63? Do you have a video to prove this? I have ran multiple E63's when i was stock and after my tune and my car was always upfront before by about 1 full car and now is about 2-3 cars. Also about the IS-F beating the E63 is no surprise either.
BTW the IS-F has an 8 speed automatic transmission.

When stock, I think the E63 will still "slightly" edge out the C63, but once modded, the C63 will leave the E63 in the dust.

Same day, same track, same conditions, I was running 12.1 to 12.3 with my E63 (100% stock) while C63 running 12.7 to 12.9 (100% stock). Some E63 need to be optimized to run right

MB we did the 2ndry cat delete and the car sounds sick!!!! Still no dyno yet, but we are pretty sure this is what was holding the car back and giving us the exhaust cam error . No track until fall for now and below 50 degrees .
