Sorry, but that is to be expected. E55 AMG is probably well over 400hp. Isn't that a supercharged engine?

I'm surprised you beat the E55 off the line. Isn't the E55 pretty damn quick off the line? If you did take him off the line, then walk away with that.

You have to know when to pick your battles against Mercedes. Stay away from most that are wearing AMG badges especially if you see quad exhausts. i.e. C55, E55, E63, CLS55, SL55, and never ever this one SL65.

I'm with all the members here. It's normal you got raped 
I like the expresion...
That's M5 territory indeed. You shouldn't be so surprised in the future, i mean to know to evaluate your oponent. You can race him just for fun or to see the results, but to hope to win in a drag race...well that's just crazy.
