It’s a difficult decision to make when your wife has new car fever and you first sit in a car with that new car smell (it’s like a drug or something), it can completely take control over you. Especially when the conversation goes from “honey when are you going to give me the crossfire to… have you seen the 2011 cars, it would sure be nice to have back seats!”

What I can tell you is the interior might not mean allot to some of you but Damn if the stereo doesn’t sound better than systems I used to pay $$$$ to have installed plus the Recaro seats, Blue tooth and steering wheel controls are nice as well.
I looked into performance upgrading for the C63 and I’m not very impressed with what’s available for the price, everyone knows what $10k will give to a Supercharged LS9 Engine!!!
The E55 now that’s another story and I really forgot about them. While I was at Eurocharged they were tuning a E55 I believe 350+HP with over 500lbtq.was on hand. I totally overlooked this car thanks for bringing it into the mix. The savings would really be nice since I’m building a GTM Supercar.

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate your patience with this thread!

I will need a little help with one more question before killing this thread…
How do you talk a women with new car fever into a slightly used E55?
nevermind I know the answers i'll probably get

Thanks again.
Colin,

With a few grand into an E55 you can get those bad boys to over 500whp...That's no slouch at all. EC just did 180.5mph in a 55k car at the Texas Mile. Can't complain about that.

As for talking your wife out of new car fever into favor for a 2006 E55....just offer to give her a shopping spree to accompany the car. I mean you would be saving $30k, so giving her a few grand for whatever she wants will ease her pain.

p.s. I also vote E55 > CTS-V.

Hell right now you can do E55 + SRT6 for the price of a new CTS-V.

There are plenty of E55s out there right now with under 30k miles for right around $30k.
