Only way you can at least briefly stay in front are turns and corners.

its ok buddy. just never underestimate ANY car, at least you guys got nice long stretches to go blasting off everywhere. here there arent many places to go flying around only the H3 which is monitered by cops ALOT so its mostly traffic light to traffic light for me. that only makes sense.

Yeah agreed with what others have already said, the E55 is the mid size super car of mercedes and should be compared to bmw's supercar in midsize which is the m5. Its like comparing a steak to a big mac, yeah the big mac (550i) is good but you'd pick the steak every time.

The supercharged E55 was a brutally fast accelerating car. There is virtually nothing you could do to mod your car to beat one in a stoplight war (short of super expensive mods and NOX). Of course, the suspension, brakes and steering on the old E55s are all crap. But from a stoplight that car is an absolute monster with a bottomless pit of low end torque.
