Which would be better to MOD.
A supercharged E55 AMG or the naturally aspirated E63 AMG? Which would be the better performance car? I am going to buy based on which one has more potential for performance.

well this pretty much depends on how fast you want to make it . for the money that it costs to buy a 06 e55 or for that a 07 e63 you can get a early model turbo 911 that can be made even faster than both and IMHO are way more reliable and have much more collectors value down the road .
the AMG cars as great as they are lose value more than FLA real estate

I think its fair to say from the Mod junkies prospective. You will hit a wall with the E63. When the E55 will keep making power. Plus torque is so addictive and the E55 will make more of that.

E55 FTMFW.. or a twin turbo as Tgoss mentioned.
All you need to do is look at peoples 1/4 mile times, and you will see that bolt on's (on a 55 platform) yeild some frickin amazing results. C63 has some serious potencial, however Forced Induction can provide more HO per $$
What is your goal?
EDIT HO = HP (+ drinks)

Are you kidding? The E55 has much more modding potential for much cheaper. Don't get me wrong, the E63 is a great car, and if I was comparing stock for stock, I would go for the E63 in a heart beat. Just know that when it comes to modding, the E63 will cost you 4 times as much for half of the gains
