The E55 really has awesome power, but the chassis soft for so much power so some skill is required.

Two questions:

1. What do you mean by hardcore gearing?

2. Is it possible to change gear from let's say fifth to third whenever you want and also can you change gear at any speed you like?

i have two cuzins ,one that has a Stock E55 AMG and one that has an M5 ,,, they will race tomorow night ,,, and im going to record the video...

if the E55 is stock and no modification at all, the M5 should win but if the E55 is enginetuned then its going to be hard for the M5. so for your sake I hope its a stock e55

BTW you know this video will be posted over at m5board.com

dont worry just_me its stock...

It should look something like this:

Both stock but the M5 has three people in the car.

i have seen this video long time ago , but starting from 0 could be differant dont u think ?

oh they starting from zero. The E55 takes off faster than the M5 cause of more torque at low rpms. The M5 need high rpm before it goes really fast. It all depend on how long distance they drive, if its a short distance the E55 has an advantage over M5. Could be close, may the best man win

I mean by hardcore gearing : faster and harder shifting like the clk dtm does.....

for sure it' won't be as smooth but you can't have the speed and the confort....

for the speedshift I don't know if you can.....never tested

They raced yesterday and My brother was in the car with the M5 guy , and he swears to his mom that the guy (m5) tricked his cousin (e55) on take off and e55 still jumped ahead and commented about how they stayed equal from 90mph till 150mph with the E ahead just half a car distance and did not see any graduation after 80 mph .

But , he also was amazed about how nice the M5 sounded .
