Not sure. That was the number splitfire had mentioned in one
of his posts (probably in city driving). The car is probably not
broken in yet, so it might get much better.

congrats on the car. The 55 motor is strong out of the box, but what I think you need is the ECU upgrade and a new pulley. I got to drive my friends CL55 with an ECU upgrade and upgraded pulley....and dude, its NO JOKE! est. +60 hp/tq.

I was thinking about trading in my CL55 for an E55...but ended up giving the car to my dad....

thanks, nice car you got there.. I was actually thinking of picking up a 04 gallardo (friend has one and was told it is just as reliable as Audi) before i got the 55.. but my wife was totally against it so.....

I'm not sure if I'm going to mod the e since it is already pretty fast for a 4 door sedan.. i might just sell it in few months and pick up a gallardo like i origanlly plan.. my wife is gonna hate me

If you down in South Bay, you should check out the Lambo. Dave hooked up a sick deal for us on the Kreis-sieg valvetronic F1 exhaust. Its pretty crazy!!!

Here are some pics of the exhaust:
