Great write up RC, love this kind of reports. Thanks for sharing and congrats for your new toy
Just one question, although your turbo had "only" 67 Hp, I bet the feeling while driving it compared to the AMG might be something like 120Hp difference, or am i wrong?

There is something funny: yes, at speeds below let's say 200 kph, my 996 Turbo felt much faster due to excessive sound of the sport exhaust and the lower weight. But at speeds over 200 kph, the E55 feels faster or at least as fast as my 996 Turbo, can't explain it too well. As soon as the 300 kph raise is installed, I plan to do some 0-300 kph testing. I'll start with 0-100, then with 100 to 200 and if I'm lucky and there is not much traffic, I do 200 to 300 kph. Then I add the times and I'm curious to see the results. I heard that the E55 needs around 45 seconds from 0-300 kph which would put it in the same league with the Porsche GT2. But I have to try it for myself to be sure.
