This doesn't surprise me. My cousin and I were crusing in La Jolla (in his slightly modded E55) when a red F430 lined up with us at a light...we revved, the the other dude in the F430 knew it was on. We both got on it and we walked the F430 by like a car or two

A few months back I came across one of the sweetest ones I've EVER seen on the Tollway... Black/Black w/ Black 19"or 20" rims with no tint! Guy looked to be @ upper 30's and had the bluetooth earpiece in talking. I just wanted to see for myself what the car was made of...
Let's just say... It's made of "putdasmackdownonyoazz!" I pulled along side @ 75, looked over at him, dropped down to 4th and nailed it! Before I knew WTF had happened... all I hear is V8 roar and supercharger whine like a ****... and then he pulled away like I was braking! I've had some nice runs with the likes of E90 M3's, 911's, Vettes, etc. and have prevailed or held my own... The E55 is just NUCKING FUTS for a 4-Door Sedan!

Marcus (Must have this car... soon!)

Actually it's like a dark flint grey...I just bumped up the contrast on the pic, that's why it looks black

Anyways, here's the pic

My buddy's gf works marketing for MB & she gets these cars to drive all the time (talk about a dream job). I'll never forget that day last year where my buddy and I had a blk/blk E55 for a whole night. MY GOD!! I still have wet dreams about it.

I saw that result coming from a mile away!!!! The Ferrari has really been getting whomped as of late!!! Plus, it was never made to be a stoplight bruiser like the E55 is. Even more surprising is how bad the ferrari gets beat by the JDM Skyline, Evo VII, NSX & others on a race course in a video posted by OLT!
