It's because the market fell out of them like everything else. You can find low mileage E55's from 2005 for low 30's to low 40's with like 20k miles on them. Higher mileage 03' and 04's are in the twentys. Just like the srt6 is a bargain, so are these cars. If I could pull my car to races with it, I'd replace my avalanche with it. I still may consider buying one next year. The motor is almost identical to the SRT6 just bigger. The one this weekend was an 03' and with a crank pulley and tune with drag radials ran an 11.41 in the 1/4. Now imagine if Rob and InMotion got ahold of one.
