You sold the stang? I guess it was redundant to have two muscle cars.

Yes, the stang went to a new home last night.

Been daily driving the beast for a month now, and boy is she thirsty, averaging 14mph on surface streets, rear tires are taking a beating for some reason

I had the mustang to daily drive and preserve the beast. She had to go in for an a/c line fix, so I started driving the e55. That was all she wrote, got spoiled and said to hell with it, I will just run one car.

Dude, turn in your AMG man card.

The newest Mustangs are pretty sweet from the factory. Of course, I am forever tainted by running around in my E55 and will have to enter the TT fray in the years to come!

That's good mpg! My 911 turbo gets between 9-10 mpg.

Sorry to see the mustang go, but that means more mod money for the E55
