E55 for me

I don't know how to drive a stick anyway.

huh? i thought it was strictly auto?

Anywyas, i decided that the RS6 doesn't have enough of an aggressive styling like the E55. My vote: E55. 😛
 
Mercedes are a very very feminine car. And please nobody reply by pics of "is this feminine?" and some silly ass link to the new mercedes super car. Taken as a whole I find the brand name quite girly and I know that I'm not the only one, so I'd go with the audi.
 
When I think MB, girly is definately not what I think of, heck this is the first time I've heard anyone say that.
But whatever, oppinions, after all, are like assholes 🙂

Anyways, between those two, it's a toss up, but I'd take an E39 M5 over either of those any day.

I grew the opinion intially because at the school I went to for so many years the rich moms used their new mercedes as a status symbol and as such I've associated mercedes with well off women.

 
doh i voted for the e55 when i wanted to vote for the rs6. both cars are damn beautiful and would love to have either. but the e55 is more expensive. i like the aggresive styling of the e55 though. so i guess its a toss up. according to car and driver (or road and track...i forget which) the e55 can almost keep up with a viper gts!! now that's fast!!!

oh, does anyone habe 1600x1200 pics of these cars?! if so, please post

Well then Mustang's are girly cars too, because at my school you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a girl in a Mustang.

 
I was under the impression that the RS6 also has an option for a manual but there seems to be no mention... sucks.

Both cars were meant to be driven on a track and neither have SMGs or the option of a regular manual tranny for maximum track-floggin. But honestly, for maximum track floggin experience... you need a slightly smaller or lighter car.

Like the (hopefully upcoming) Audi RS3, BMW M3, Lancer Evo, Subaru WRX STi, VW Golf R32... I think you get the picture.

I'm all about the E55. I've been in love with that car for a while now. Especially with the twin turbo V8. It's hard to say no to the fastest factory sedan on the road.

The E55 has a supercharged V8....no turbos!

BTW, here's a video with a E55 going up against a mod'ed 03 Mustang Cobra

E55 pwnz all!!!

That was just an altogether sad post. You're right, its supercharged. It's also not the fastest production sedan. That title was recently stolen by the S600 which beats up a Ferrari 575M. I think I need more sleep. 😱

Can a S600 beat out the S55?
