Those of you that have heavily modded E55's, would you recommend it as a daily driver vehicle? Thinking about picking one up as a daily and I have a problem with modding lol

 

All day.

 

Nice man!! I'm picking mines up tomorrow from VA...blast to drive and so smooth compared to the SL

 

All DAY EVERY DAY my friend!

 

You already know the answer to this question!! Doooo ettttttttt!!!!!

 

Absolutely! (See sig.) I drive 100 miles to and from work every day IN TRAFFIC, in Phoenix AZ (115 degrees in the summer) with no issues.

The car is very comfortable as well and I'm a bigger guy at 6'2, 240 lbs.

DO IT!

Highly modded E55s are one of the best daily vehicles

 

There is one very big issue I have with driving my modded E55.....driving it slow enough to stay out of jail.

 

I would definitely say YES. It is the right size for a single person or small family to be used as a DD.

The best hybrid I know:

Grocery getter/business ride/rocket ship

 

you still thinking about it

 

It's like flying an F16 to work everyday.

 

Hi, Ahmad!

My modded SL55 is my daily driver. Wouldn't have it any other way!

 

Thanks for all the input guys. I should be picking mine up next weekend

Anybody looking for a VRP 80mm TB kit? Won't be needing that

 

 

Hell yes! Glad to see you around here again Brian! And especially happy that you still have your beast!

This just makes me smile!

 

Can't wait to see what you do with your beast Ahmad

 

Nice!!! What color did you go with?

 

Hey how is everything? Wow, you daily the SL? That thing is a beast!
Hopefully one day it will be as nice as yours

Hopefully it wont disappoint. I hear it adds value if you run 10s
Silver

 

What are you asking fir the 80mm kit?

 

I give you guys credit. I just use my 4Runner as a daily as driving a fast car in traffic is just too frustrating to me. I work out of my house so I don't need to drive to work or anything, but I still go to my properties during the day. I used to take my 911 turbo, but getting stuck in traffic just irked me to no end. See an opening and pound it for 2 seconds then get on the brakes.

 

Every single day, traffic, long distances, and one time I drove it over 800 km continuosly from UAE, Abu Dhabi to home in Saudi Arabia close to Bahrain with Temperature 50 deg C.

So, I guess the answer is yes.

 

I have to look and see what they go for used. I will be reusing the y pipe so that will need to be purchased seperately.

 

Off the boards, I did hear of a guy that used his as a DD for years and did recently toast ole #8, so I guess it does happen. Just the exception and not the rule so no worries bro. Be awesome having you on board with us. You KNOW what I have been preaching for years and it has been confirmed over and over again. Do a comp test and she will tell you how awesome it will perform modded. Mine avrgs around 130ish and is a dud in the 1/4 while ole alans runs near 150s straight across the boards with his 10sec machine. I can't wait to start looking for 55s when they are low teens and whip out the leakdown test on um. Good times!!

 

Congrats on your purchase Ahmad!!! Can't wait to see how fast it will run when you mod it out!

 

Hey Ahmad, congrats. surprised it took you so long to make this move! "Can a modded E55 be used as a DD"? What kind of question is that
