dayum
so, could the cobra driver not drive, or not hook up or what?

im guessing the e55 is heavier, and puts down less power to the wheels than the cobra.


what gives?

nice video

There was an E55 at the circuit the other day. That supercharger just screams on the straits! Such a nice sound.

ronnie0738, those were the same numbers I remember seeing in a past road and track...though I remember the e55 actually being 12.3...but my mammary is fading.

going on numbers alone, I'd say there is no way the 03 cobra would have pulled on the e55. I'm talking stock of course.

Zapata, is that trip odometer on the pic you upped an animated car on an lcd?

The white guages do look incredibly elegant. I really like the knob in the first pic. It looks awesome with das boot.

Next time I'm being tailed by a luxury car, like I was today, I'm going to slam on my brakes and call an ambulance chaser to get me an e55

Actually the E55 is faster then the RS6 stock vs stock. And as easy as you can chip a RS6 you can add a chip/pulley to the E55. A lot of posts say that the rated 469hp of the E55 is false and they actually dyno the same as the SL55, CL55 and S55 at the 490+ hp, the 469 figure was a marketing attempt to try and not kill the sales of the S,CL and SL55's

I just read an article in Motor Trend I think or Car and Driver, that had the E55 vs RS6 and the E55 beat it in all straight line performance, got clocked at 4.2seconds in 0-60 and I think 12.3 or 12.4 1/4 @ 113-114
