The E55 must have smoked the tires pretty hard for you to keep up till 60. He should have you all the way.

the e55 is my DREAM car ... that thing is so stealthy. I could be racing that thingy and fly right by a cop ... and chances are he'd pull over the guy i'm racing over me. cuz the e55 is so stocky, so stealthy, so family like, that anyone and everyone would underestimate its power...

those things are SWEEEEEEEET!

Reason why he didn't "smoke" you, so to speak, to 60mph is because he didn't do a brake-stand to achieve the 5.4 magazine 0-60mph time -- Mercedes aren't meant to peel out terribly off-the-line .. even the E55 -- it will, but not like a Z28 or anything. But it builds up steam fast -- I rode in one at 130 mph at the Mercedes Benz PowerTrip .. fast ride.
