Default E55 vs. S4 APR stage 2?

My dad just bought a MB E55. How would it fare against my car?

Default Launch really well

and you will win the 1/8. If he launches well, you will lose. The AMG does mid 13s in stock form. But as the case with all races, it's primarily the driver.

Default I dusted one pretty good, but was in XR mode...

I was behind him, he nailed it on an on-ramp, I ended up having to go AROUND him... I even missed the 3-4 shift (I don't know how - it was just as I was passing him so he gained for a fraction of a second as I picked up my tranny off the floor and reassembled it and finally found 4th ;-))...

then again, XR mode is truely a different beast...

Default At launch is one thing, roll-on power on the highway is another. The E55 has a real advantage here.

The E55 in this sort of real-world challenge will be hard to beat...

Default Well, at Stage 3 or APR Stage 2+ there is less if any of an advantage. However, it will still be

tough. Not as tough as an M5 though. Besides, have you seen the easy modifications for the C32 AMG that get it into the 370+ HP range... There are a lot of fast and faster cars out there, even with a turbo upgrade...
