So whats the better car to have

C43, E55 How do they compare for performace etc???
 
E55 is quicker from 0-60mph by about a second, 347bhp Vs 306bhp IIRC
 
I've driven two E55s and one C43 albeit one with an E55 airbox and I'd say that c43 felt quicker. But they are both wonderful and both Very fast. Actually what gets me is the in gear accelaration of both rather than just 0-60 performance.
 
My brother commented on that the other day, he reckons the car feels so quick because there is no hesitation between gear changes, just one solid wall of acceleration :D
 
You should try a W124 E500 with 326bhp and 347lb of torque...its lighter than the E55 and the in gear acceleration puts a very wide grin on your face :)
 
Wouldn't it depend on whether the E55 is a W210 or W211 (with its twin superchargers).
 
Fair point....I was thinking of a 210 E55.
