Here's an interesting question...
 
Benz give us a choice...

"We will do whatever it takes to make the new 55 outhandle the M5 and others, BUT, you keep current motor HP as is for a year or more."

Remember, bunch of cars will be out HP'ing the 55 in 06.

What say you?

Just wondering how badly you would want handling over HP. Yeah yeah, we want both, but if you had to choose????

Not even close IMHO. Same HP and outhandle M5? Every day and twice on Sunday. More HP with no other changes will make the new car worse, not better. I don't know what the benefit will be. I can't see more HP bettering your 1/4 times. Just even harder to hook up.
