for once the motorweek had a comparison of M5, E55 and XKR
E55 is the fastest with 4.9
M5 is 5.1...
i am wondering the E55 would be slower if it has manual...that's mercede's tradition...

European Car Mags have clocked SLK32/C32 doing 0-60 in 4.5 sec... so, I have no doubt, C32 is the fastest factory 4DR for now...
And no, E39 M5 has V8 and LOSE to V6 S/C C32 AMG in terms of acceleration.....

but again, the E55 next to you have a greater chance of dusting you since he got Auto in there.. Andy Kuo

Quickness
Guys, I really like my car for what it is but racecars they are not. I like the off the line punch and top end is just fine, it's the middle of the range that needs help. Hey, you can't take all your friends to dinner in comfort in a Vette so this is a much better compromise!
