GAD C63S BS 4matic 5.5 TT V8

That GAD C63 is a real animal. I never thought the 4matic from the AMGs could be put into a non 4matic car. What a brilliant project, the car actually puts its MASSIVE power down. Somebody should do this to the E55, what would it take considering the C63 got it done and that was never built with the 4matic setup. I don't know about you guys but my car got tiring after a while and it's no fun unless I'm already doing 40mph. Sometimes I just wanna mash it from a standstill, remember my car is stock, but as soon as you touch the throttle the pyramid of death lights up. That feeling of "pause, power, pause" is just irritating I'm sure you know what I mean. Even my E500 loses traction badly on great tires from a stop. This car NEEDS AWD, it would be the best mod and the most usable mod. Anybody gonna do it and can it be done? Guys in the Middle East, this would be pocket change to you so by all means lead the way

You need to run stickier tires you shouldn't have a problem putting the power down with the right tires on a stock E55.

True but still not like an AWD launch and that's stock E55. A highly modified E55 or the GAD C63 with the power and torque it is making could never realistically put it's power down from a standstill on the street with RWD regardless of tire. Even at a well prepped drag strip a drag radial would barely put that power and torque down properly. Again this is from a standstill and the way most roads are even a drag radial would struggle to put torque like that down on a crappy surface. Plus a radial cannot be DD without compromising cornering. The point is take a car like the GTR, a car that launches EVERYWHERE and is therefore even faster than most cars on the road than it is on the track and not that I'm comparing the AMG 4Matic to the GTRs AWD but AWD is just different, sorry but on the street there is simply no comparison. I've ridden in a supercharged MTM R8 and the pull from 0-80 is just devastating, you FEEL the car hook and just snap you back, it feels so TIGHT, the car feels really tight that's the best way I could put it. While AMGs do that too they just don't have that composed feeling until around 60mph. The E55 feels like it wants to twist itself, like the engine wants to twist the chassis. You need AWD traction with this much torque.
