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.

Weird, LOTS of stang guys here but hardly any new body style stang guys.

Just find that interesting.

Surface streets was right at 20mpg, that was when I was not blowing the tires off itWhat was cool about it was that it did not even have a traction control button, just raw power!

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!

Yes that was pretty lameTonight I will blow the tires off at every stop light and see if I can dip it into the single digit mpg's

Pickup as in your daily driver as opposed to previous, I know you have had your E for a while.

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
