Without having driven the 996TT, this is the silliest comparison I have ever heard! Think before you type(yes, yes, lesson I have learned). The E55 may be a high performance sedan, and it may be faster than an 996TT in the straight line but there is really no comparison whatsoever. They are two completely different cars.

Isn't it silly, that nowadays, we buy cars depending on how fast they can go round a track?

I have two kids now, one reason why I sold my Turbo.
Having a "dream" standing in the garage and not being able to drive it isn't a nice dream. So I sold it and I sometimes regret it and get sad when I think about it.
The E55 is a wonderful piece of machine, it provides the perfect combo of family limousine, sports car (by a certain definition) and toy but there is no comparison to the 996 Turbo. I'm talking about feelings and emotions, the 996 Turbo has soul, charisma, something special I can't describe.
When I testdrove the 996 Turbo with 450 HP powerkit and X73 sport suspension last Monday, I felt that "special feeling" in my stomach again. I'm a sports car junky and I can't help it. And please don't laugh: I enjoy my CLK55 AMG loaner much more than my E55. Which reminds me of one thing I really don't understand: why doesn't AMG offer the CLK55 with the supercharged V8? It would be the hell of a car.
