I had my 98 Mark VIII up to about 123mph when the governor kicked in. 
10 years ago it was hot $hit for a luxury coupe. Nowadays, they have some ridiculously fast high end cars. My brother in law had a 07 M5, that thing was sick!
Nice buy though, never drove the E55, but hear they are real sleepers.

Tis a sleeper IMHO!

".crappy quality - but basically A STOCK E55 (VMAX REMOVED) is going from 0 to 312kmh (193mph) in 55 seconds..."
What's up with the crappy quality comment?? I heard they had electrical gremlins on a few years but haven't heard anything else bad. Looks like these cars are a great buy right now but are there problems with them?

I checked with the Benz dealer before I bought it. Not much worse than any other car. Still tryin to decide if I want to buy the extended warranty. The dealer I bought it from changed the oil...took 9 quarts. Computer says 10K oil change interval. Don't think I'll go that long. Sh*t is expensive for it though. The dealer is buying me a spare to the tune of $473(onna those compact pump up type. A key at dealer cost is $234.
