E55 or Upcoming Z06...? (poll added)

Thank you!

TXStyle, congratulations on the good news You're about to start a wonderful new chapter in your life, I wish you all the best.
Now about the car. There is not much more I can add, so I'll just give you my choice: E55 hands down.

Oh, they also had the IS350 go 0-60 in 5.5, and the quarter at 14.0@99.8.

Itd be a waste if you only took that car to the dragstrip, that would be adequate for someone that truly cant or does not enjoy driving. I
One dimensional driving is a major pet peeve of mine.

HEY....! What's up with the 'hijack'? Inab & Jim? We all know the stats of the mighty Z06. The question was which car for me?
Although... I believe most of you have overwhelmingly decided the E.
