Default WTT: E55 with IS-F.

Hi guys, im a new member here. I want to trade in my 03 e55 with the is-f.
Im bored with the handling of my car, the transmission, its like 2 secs delay...
and this car is too big and long. its not agile enough compare the is-f i guess.and the brakes also kinda sucks.
but, i will miss the torque for sure . also, i love jdm parts so much. My dream is white is-f with gramlights 57s-pro with titanium lip or re30 chrome silver .

what u guys think? is it worrth it?

here are my pics of my car.

welcome to CL

i am surprised you think the brakes on the e55 sux. they are not balanced? or too powerful that your tires are the limiting factor?

The Benz looks sooooo good. But I wouldn't consider any Mercedes-Benz vehicle sporty, even it has 800hp.

the E55 and IS-F are in a class of their own...i would take both haha!
but yeah it's all on you...the e55 is For the Win and how you done it is very clean.

on the other hand the is-f is 5 years brand new...gonna have nice torque as well and a lot of innovations.

i want to say get the IS-F but that e55 is beautiful.

You're not making a very good case for an IS-F owner to trade their car for yours.

From your words, the E55 is a POS. Why would anybody want a POS?
