Yeah...I never reallty realized how much arse they had under the hood until I drove one. There's a U-tube video of a guy that got ride of the speed limiter somehow and ran it up to 193 MPH. Geeze... if I have time later I'll try to find it. Ya oughtta see the rough Az road they were on!

I bought the same car a few months back. Talk about a sleeper :evilb:

Nice weapon.........compared to a Mark 8 you bought the right car!

I had my 98 Mark VIII up to about 123mph when the governor kicked in. :mad:

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.

Nice lookin '04 you got! I've been eyeing them myself...I'll probably pick one up soon.

Here is the U-tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NptHzgkfehc
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
