Thanks a ton for the welcome to the site (chiromikey, ROCKETW19, Big Ape, 305-E55, cicbenz, MB Forever). I am slighly embarassed to say, but not photos (the car is coming out of winter storage in a few weeks). So, I will do one better than some pics of the E55; expect a video of a 2006 (stock except K&N's) and a 2006 Gallardo e-gear (he is also talking about getting a M5 over the next few weeks).
Following is a video of a Gallardo and Z06 and my take is that the results will not be too favorable for the E55. The Gallardo seems to have an unreal initial pull (you will see) and runs really close with the Z06.
The Gallardo driver has my accelerometer and has managed to run a 4.1 0-60 time (my best is a 4.095) and has indicated that he "can do better".

How do you think I will do (straight line runs from various speeds up to 120)
? I actually think I am better off running him from a dead stop than a roll...
Thanks!
