What car did you come from when you got your E55?
2000 ZX-12R. Muzzy exhaust, PC3, filters, etc.... Makes the E55 feel like it's going backwards uphill.


1999 Mustang GT Convertible. Cobra brakes, bolt-ons, wheels.


Previous cars:
2004 Monte Carlo SS Supercharged

1995 Camaro Z-28. Bolt-ons, cam, 3,600 stall(swapped to auto), 125 shot

OOPS!

The Best of Mercedes & AMG


I had another type of Merc--still have it, but I had it then too.

1968 Mercury Monterey. Fastback, 390 (6.4L) big block V8, X-code 10.5:1 high compression with Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and Edelbrock carb that I tuned with my wideband O2. I've seen quite a few fuel injected cars that have more inconsistent A/F ratios than this car. This is backed by a C6 automatic and Ford 9" rear with 2.79 gears. I've done quite a lot of suspension work to her so far: Pretty much doubled the spring rate front and rear with 2002 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor kit, and have custom-rate Bilstein HD shocks as well with poly bushings. I installed a 1 3/8" swaybar on front and a stock 5/8" front bar on the rear. It's got discs up front already, and I'll get rear discs on when I find the time. The wheels in the picture are stock 18" BMW M3 wheels that I sold with my M3, but I guess I'll put the VMR's on there now.
Also have another Merc-'64 Comet that needs an engine rebuild. Slow as hell.

And I have something faster than the E55:

Also have a '93 240SX with SR20DET swap, it's like driving a go-kart. Me and a buddy are going to swap this engine with his, and put a 5.0 in this sometime this winter.
