I'm in the new Road and Track!!!

Just received my Feb '04 issue and my letter made it in....Since most of you probably get R&T, you'll appreciate the letter since it mentions beating a Ferrari Modena with my E55! Pretty cool.

Outstanding, krutch!!!
R&T editors (and many readers) probably hate reading reports like that, but they should be aware of what kind of product AMG is putting out on the street.
Nice job.

Good one...I just picked up that issue at my local drug store today. Gotta love the E55!

This was the original letter sent...

After reading all the comparisons between the Ford GT and the Ferrari Modena I came to the following conclusion: I can’t wait to get my ‘04 E55 AMG next to a Modena and watch it fade into my rear view mirror. I really can’t wait to see the look on the driver’s face at the next stop light. I would expect this of my 911 Turbo, but not my comfy sedan that can transport my entire family of five. One more observation based on the numbers...If I catch the driver of the new Ford GT and any slight error is made at all on their part, the same will occur. Unreal!

This is what R&T printed:

After reading the comparison between the Ford GT and the Ferrari Modena 360, I can't wait to get my '04 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG next to a Modena and watch it fade into my rearview mirror.

They really know how to edit over there at R&T!
