Which record? thanks.

That is impressive. makes me sad because it is 15 sec faster than the BMW M5.

Sedan being the keyword, at least how that's how I took it from seeing it advertised, was specifically for a sedan. :burnout:

Wow, I figured the Mercedes E55 AMG would smoke the CTS. They must have changed it a lot since 04. The 04 V I drove was a sad little pig that felt unstable over 120mph.

Mercedes amg only have straight line performance. don't get me wrong they are fast but when you throw it into a corner they get ass happy.
