2012 E550 awd (12.8 /112)

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...an-test-review



crappy tires probably hurt the braking and handling numbers... but over all this will be the sleeper replacement to my E55..

I have yet to see a 550 coupe tested.. which should improve trap speed and lower the ETA. (lower weight and RWD)

this car needs..
- better tires
- 1" drop
- basic tune
-remove 2nd cats
-intake filter
-mufflers

result should be around a stage 1 E55, with MPG's at 25+ on the highway. Based today's EPA standards.

These cars sure will be sleepers when modded.. That 25 mpg sure does sound good too

......interesting. Same acceleration specs as NA E63 AMG. And with mods wil be faster than a modded NA E63.
