bigbob 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Dalj-> yea m8 update: Drove an E55 AMG on Friday, this thing is quicker than an SL, the acceleration is STUPID!! :lol: Engine Type dohc supercharged V8 Powertrain Layout front engine/rwd Displacement, cc 5439 Horsepower@rpm 469@6100 Torque, lb-ft@rpm 516@2650-4500 Curb Weight, lb 4200 est. 0-60 mph, sec 4.3 1/4 mile, sec@mph 12.5@116 0-100 mph, sec 9.9 70-0 mph, ft 173 Top Speed, mph 155 quote "Mercedes says this transmission shifts 35 percent faster than the previous unit. It's also about as sporty as an automatic transmission could ever be and adds up to a 4.3 second 0-60mph, thus making the E55 quicker than the DIY manual M5 (and also a few supercars for good measure). At full gallop the E55 AMG is untouchable." No Shit Sherlock! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
