new E55 in Atlanta ?
I was following an E55 the other day that was driving EXTREMELY aggressively on the streets. I quite enjoyed seeing it - it looked very nice!
If you are on this board, I was the guy chasing you in the blue M5. If you're an enthusiast, I would certainly like to meet up and compare cars sometime.
That goes for everyone in the Atlanta (with the new supercharged V8
)!

If it was black E55 with tinted windows on 75/85 or 400 it may have been me. I work in Midtown but play mostly on the southside. Have had my new E55 for a couple of months and just can't help working that supercharger out.
We have quite a few AMG owners in Atlanta. Would be happy to invite you to our next get together.

No, it was either white or silver and in the spaghetti junction area. DeKalb tag.
Do many of the new SC-V8 cars show up to meets (E55, S55, SL55)? I have compared my previous car against the previous E55 and CLK55, and am more interested in seeing how the new MB performs. I like it quite a bit!
Any upcoming events / drives?
ps. While I have a chance to talk to local MB owners, let me say that I had an unpleasant experience with the MB dealer on Roswell road, RBM. I found them to be discourteous and impolite. Has anyone else had similar experiences with RBM?
I later went to the one in Decatur and they were great!

I had a very similar experience at RBM and would never go back.
I have been using Carriage House Imports and am very happy with them. Always MSRP on AMG cars as long as you order them....
I will get you so info on our next get-together. We had a Dyno day yesterday so it will probably be a couple of weeks.
We are currently working to put together a track day at Road Atlanta.
I know a couple of people with the new SL55's and one other person with a CL55 and one with an S55. Watch out for the new S55. It may be heavy but it is very fast. Only a tick or two slower than an E55 or SL55. I have had quite a bit of fun sliding one around on a track.
I have owned both the old E55 and a CLK55 and the new E55 in my opinion is miles ahead in technology and performance. I still think they have a bit to go on weight, steering and raw feel but it is an incredidible car.
What year is your M5? Thinking about the new one or defecting?

..........I am glad someone else is saying something about RBM. I just cannot believe that MBUSA allows them to continue to operate. Lets just say that it will be very difficult to find a more discourteous dealership anywhere in the world. Does MBUSA not know?
..............Talking about E55's I know that there is a lady in Gwinnett county that has a silver E55. I have seen it several times. I wonder if that is who you saw.

I have made multiple complaints to MBUSA. I think the best policy is to not buy from them. Sooner or later they will get the message. I am now on my third AMG with two more on order..... Too bad for them....
Since we are bashing RBM, my last trip in was about a year ago. I was on my way back from the lake and walked in with shorts a hat and T shirt. Two salespeople looked me up and down and walked right buy. I walked out when the receptionist told me it would be 15 minutes or so and told me the C class cars were on the side.
It just cracks me up!
