Great point. AMG puts huge brakes on its cars.

Mine went 11.60s on Mich Pilots, stock size. You don't *need* DRs, but they will certainly help in every way.

FYI people are fitting 295/35-18 DRs on the E55...

What mods do you have to give you that time? What was your 60' and trap speed when you ran the 11.6? Did you use the ESP or have it off when you launched? When you see people fitting 295's on the E, were they on the stock rims? and was the suspension on the normal or raised setting to get them into the wheel wells?

Thank you for the offer. What size are they and how much do you want for them? I am in Northern California so I am wondering how easy and how much it would be to ship them. Any ideas?

RENNTECH stage II w/ TCU tuning and an air filter. This was from the previous owner (I think his son or grandson actually drove it). 1.76 60' and 120mph. I dont know how it launched since I wasnt there. Not sure about how people run 295s, I just know I see them in forum signatures and people talking about it.

We did a Kleeman stage 3 mod to a clients E55. At the same time his brother got my first 997 Turbo when they were released. The E killed the Turbo on four runs to 120 MPH+. Turbo was sold with under 1000 miles.
