Wait another week if you can, it might be BOGOF by then.

No , not gonna go 5.5 , probably go 430 ....

and the difference is what??? the square route of FA???

From Andy K's post above



The E55 can pull 0.88 lateral g.

is this a good thing? and more to the point would this fact actually sell a car to anyone?

yes thanks it did as it out drags a 2.2 CDI on all important factors

it's a figure you see being quoted more and more in ads for cars - maybe it's important if you thinking of doing track days/drifting/any sort of motorsport or maybe just for when you are playing "top trumps" with your mates

Every figure (no matter how trivial) relating to a car's performance is important to somebody

why not go to the top?

from there, there's nothing to look up to

 

[Howard]

Been looking after reading this thread ....

I can't stretch to a decent 55 , and the running costs ( even just the AMG specific consumables , brakes etc ) are beyond me to be honest ...

I've got ( what i think ) is a nice 430 lined up , just gotta get time to go and see it ...

£1400 for paint and materials, not including labour or parts, that a hell of a price for masking tape
