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.

Real or fiction?
Comment where I found it:With The Speed limiter removed the W211 55 can do VERY well on a Bumpy Nevada stretch ...
...crappy quality - but basically A STOCK E55 (VMAX REMOVED) is going from 0 to 312kmh (193mph) in 55 seconds... did 2 runs on this road...no other cars
Wheel spin up to 70MPH

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?
