Id love to see the 540/565 dyno run.

^^ he made around 498-499whp and 525wtq then add a 82mm TB so the numbers are just a very high guess

You get mad points for the vernacular craftsmanship but lets be honest . Any panty dropping that takes occurs is a result of the driver, not the car. Girls like old cars because they're fun and unique, but if you're a tool it doesn't matter what you're in. In fact nothing is a proverbial bag of kitty litter up the skirt like an average dude who is a rockstar in his own mind, driving a so-so car like a 5 year old luxury car but he peacocks it like it's a new Ferrari

I've just never seen a chick, who has the mindset at dropping her panties upon seeing a car they are impressed with, get excited over an old car. I imagine that the girls who drop toe floss over the sight of a car care about one thing....image, or rather brand recognition.

The 6.3 badges on an E55 add roughly 45rwhp...didn't you know?

And guessing dyno numbers and posting as your sig? Nice ...

Ya its the Euroteck.. No it doesnt really cover the tail pipes, which is what I liked about the diffuser. It is a very expensive piece though.

That looks awesome. Did you cut the factory bumper to get it to fit that good?

No, dont need to cut the bumper. Just have to remove the factory piece on the bumper (the black part).

I've never run against an E55 yet. Before my V I owned a C63 and the V is a better overall car. Handling, acceleration, luxuriousness and comfort all go to the V. And it's cheaper to mod too. I spent roughly 4K with install/dyno tune for the mods in my sig.

I really hate comparing a V against an E55 because I still have a soft spot for the car. Although the V is a better overall experience, it was something special about the 55k motor. It is so raw and nasty!

Sounds like I need a V. Seems so easy to go fast and they are pretty sharp looking too. What kind of whp is the stock clutch good for in a manual? Would love to drive a manual again, the E55 is my first auto ever.

On average stock manual Vs put down anywhere from 460-475 rwhp/rwtq on average.
On average stock auto Vs put down anywhere from 445-460 rwhp/rwtq on average.

As with any car there are exceptions to the rule. Some manuals will dyno close to 490 rwhp or lower than 460 rwhp, but those are averages I typically see before mods. Most owners typically start off with a simple cheap cold air intake and pick up 15-20 rwhp and about 35-40 rwhp if that cold air intake is combined with a basic tune.

You would love one Urb...they are faster, sleeker, handle better etc. I love the V!!! You should go look at them today! Should I book my flight to Jacksonville to come and get your car?
