That post is also from 2002, before any E55's were even released to the public.

Are you really this thick?

no im just trying to piss you off because youre a mercedes bopper. lol sorry man, i know damn well they dyno the same, just practicing my internet arguement skills to see what happens if I try to argue a point I know not to be true... e55 is like the dodge viper of germany, all go no flow.

Ouch, you had me fooled. I looked at that quote from 2002 and said

[FikseGTS]

this is true, they have the same motor, check the stock dyno's for both cars, the all of the 55k cars make the same power..... it's just marketing #'s.....

The E55 and the SL55 BOTH have 493HP up until 2006. 2007+ the SL55 has 510HP because they started using a 80mm throttlebody. 2006 was the last year of the E55, replaced by the E63 with is a 6.2 liter V8, naturally aspirated.

I am not unsure, I don't have any doubts, all the above is 100% fact. I am a very avid Mercedes enthusiast and have OWNED both of these cars.

I drove FikseGTS's E55. It is a beast. It will smoke my v2...

its tunned correct?...i could care less what tuned vs. tuned can do. I wanna know if v2 procede can take a stock e55. Cause where im from not many people do modifying, especially mercedes like an e55.

Nice run, those E55's are beasts!

[sleepdoc]

Yep, FiskeGTS is tuned. But only minor mods. Not sure what pure stock runs, but I think it is @116 trap speeds. You can check dragtimes.com to be sure.

[JmanE55]

I've both cars right now and believe me, the E55 will run circles around my 335 from a dig or a roll at any speed. The E55 has brute power and with a simple ECU & PULLEY upgrade, it's OVER. However, when it comes to twisties, the 335 wins hand down period.

[mrquach]

I've have my 335 sedan since Jan 07 and kept my 2003 E55 until May 07.
I never did any puley swaps or any engine mods for the 55 because it was pretty darm fast at any speed. So my personal opinion for a 3-4 CL stock vs stock at 60-above sounds about right.

Don't get me wrong for the 335 is super quick for its engine size and the twin-turbo but to match up against a V8 supercharged 469 horses with 516 pounds of torque is really tough.

and to answer someones question about the horsepower.
the 55 from 2003-2006 is 469HP/516Tor
2007- is the new 63 with 507HP/465Tor

thats why you will see alot of 55 owners rather mod their 55's instead of the new 63's because the torque was no joke.

but if you did see a V12 badge it definitely was not either the 55 or 63.

[FikseGTS]

I doubt 335i with just the v2 procede would take a stock E55, I pulled 12.07 @ 116.3 MPH bone stock:

A fully worked 335i with ecu, intake and exhaust work should make it close enough for either to win...

There is an e55 that goes to the same dragstrip as I do. He has drag radials and consistently runs 13.0s @ 110mph.

then that is a VERY slow track or he has a rock stuck underneath his accelerator.

[Fraxum]

Say anyone here had one of these 2003+ E55s? What is the downside to these cars? I had no idea used ones were so cheap. I have always admired these cars. I know this is the wrong forum, but someone here might have the straight scoop.

[TheBreak]

you just saw about 4 people who had or have one, including me.
the only downside that i found to the E55 is that its so soft so handling is 'OK'.
also you will need to upgrade to larger stickier tires as a problem to really enjoying the car is that you will sit there and spin and have the traction control fucking with your fun even when its 'off'.

Otherwise, i would say its a PERFECT car for a daily driver that you want fast ass high speed for and awesome stop light to stop light.
It'll handle 'ok' but i got tired of it quickly.

I'm getting a 335i tomorrow and im going to modify it to about stage 3 (imo to me thats: chip, downpipes, exhaust) and i think it will be very fun on the street and high way.

I do want a 55K engine again, and I'm looking for another 2005+ SL55, but sort of teetering since the new SL model is coming out not too long from now.

[TheBreak]

btw, the electronics are some what out dated though they work fine.
i just want the new stuff like what BMW has w/ iDrive, etc

the track is slow, but good enought that I have gotten a 13.400 in a stock 335. Not sure what kind of times you get at your track, but that should give you an idea of the track conditions.

[luca335i]

First of all a SL55 AMG would smoke any 335 with any mods you could put on it.

well. then you must be confused. that sounds 100% like the non-supercharged E55. With drag radials, you bet that is what it will run.

I dont care how inexperienced the driver is at the track, it is an automatic. Even if he doesnt hook up, his trap will not be 110 if its the s/c E55.

lol. Read a book or something smart guy... I personally beat one with PROcede V2 and there are people with 335i's trapping 116+ in the 11's now. Facts are really hard to deny but I'm sure you can get George W Bush to agree with you in this matter. He's not a big fan of facts either~
