Welcome me to the club!

Looked at 3 somewhat locally and ended up flying to Mobile, AL to pick up this one. Fully loaded except distronic cruise with an added CF chin spoiler, a trunk lip, and tint. I came real close to buying my 16th mustang and my first "new" 5.0 but these E55's are sick. Thanks goes out to chawkins2001 for providing with some info. and referring me to Buckhead Imports Performance.

Welcome! Fairly new here too but these cars are definitely overlooked BEASTS to most people and the prices are almost too cheap to pass up.

Welcome.

Congratulations on the E55. It is a little more unique than the Mustang.

Thanks and before any power mods I need to get satellite radio added so I have been doing a lot of reading here about it and getting more confused after each post I read.

Yes I got it Wednesday, those pics are in my driveway in Cobb. I am going to take it down to Buckhead Imports Performance for a post purchase inspection hopefully next week.

More unique and a lot faster. As much as I love Mustangs my biggest problem is it's hard to own one that's unique. I have put about 500 miles on the E55 since I picked it up and haven't seen another one yet.

You wont see any E55's in Atlanta. Only ones I EVER see are the ones at BIP, even Caffeine and Octane in Alpharetta dont attract any.

Let me know if you want to meet up this weekend, I could try bring mine out, that is if it will start, lol. The corn and cold weather do not mix well at all.

Congrats. The German muscle is insane.
I'm going to warn you - If you go for a ride with Chawkins you will have the mod bug!

Enjoy.

How does the stock E55 feel compared to a 5.0 Coyote?

Nice car and how much did you pay for it and mileage.

Looking for a E55 AMG or C63 AMG myself too.

Thanks,
Sam

5.0 automatic will not run my stock times below. with a tune and cold air kit they can sneak into that time. Still the 55 will pull more mph.

Thanks Tim. Most of the "500whp" E55s on here don't run your times either though
