It's in the R&T magazine, pp. 90-98. Sorry, I don't have link or a scanner.
The messed up thing is that I had that issue and now i cant find it. The cousin I raced, insists the 550 was never tested doing 5.0 for 0-60 and I wish I had the article to throw it in his face.

Also, you could go to a magazine rack and see if the current R&T has the R&T road test summary. The summary will give at least 0-60, 1/4 ET, 1/4 TV, and test date. I think you are spending more time with your antagonist than he merits.

Are you ignoring my reply? Why? Show him my post. If he thinks I am lying about the mags test, then tell him politely where the bridge is. Also, you could go to a magazine rack and see if the current R&T has the R&T road test summary. The summary will give at least 0-60, 1/4 ET, 1/4 TV, and test date.

If the current one doesnt have the test info, I might just send a money order to road and track to get that back issue. Thanks for your help

Cool. I looked, and the current issue has the summary results--including those for the 550i. Also, if you go to Road and Track's website and search on 550i, then you will find a movie having to do with the test that wouldn't play for me, but the write up does refer to the test. Why the test is not online, I don't know.
