You're on crack. An E55 is an E55 is an E55. There are no different versions. I think you are comparing the previous generation (W210 chassis) with the new generation (W211 chassis). Previous generation was NA engine, now its a kompressor. Along with totally redesigned bodies. If you go to dealer and get a 2004 E55, you are only going to get the supercharged one now.

AMG used to hot-rod cars to eat up the autobahn, now Mercedes bought their name to use as their sport car unit to take on BMW's "Motorsport"

Its made to haul ass, but its gearing is not set up for drag racing.

Yea, I remember that vid, was pretty cool.

The cobra was pulley'd, chip'd, intake/exhaust with nittos ... and all the amg had was bfg's and he e55 still won, though the cobra was coming hard at the end.
