i think that might be true the e55 is the fastest mb for under 100k. not sure if it will blow away on other cars like m5 though, specially the new one where not many people have tested it yet. not to mention on the track the e55 will suck big *** compared to cars like the m5

SLR is superlong because the engine is mounted behind the front axle, you can see it in the vid.

Come to think about it the E55 is faster than anything that stickers for less. The Corvette Z06 is probably even with it.

E-class is an amazing vehicle.
