@ubuntunoobz
heavier and making more power?
Yea you do realize the blower on the E55 is more efficient than the POS Eaton on the GT500 right?
Pullied E55 vs. only tuned GT500 = more power vs. less power.
4200 lbs. vs. 4,050+ lbs.

Fun to fail isn’t it?

Wow, another modded $100,000+ European car barely (to 140mph) outrunning a mustang that is $50,000.

I’m impressed…..

They should “LIST” all the mods each car has to be honest.

I’m not saying the Merc isn’t a really nice car and isn’t fast, but anyone can build a lot of luxury and performance for $100,000

Name ONE Euro car at that price point that can run with the mustang.

Even V8 M3′s are $70,000, and in my opinion, a far better all around car than the E55 AMG.

I know, and what make this VERY cool, is that though it has all that equipment and auto gearbox, it beats the BOG engined Mustang. Haha, so after all, aerodynamics and a more efficient engine saved the Mercedes. Gotta love those AMG’s!

Well, you seem like an idiot, so i’ll explain: The mustang, has suspensions from an old pickup, and an engine from one (f150 lightning), and the mustang has a bolt on frame, like Europeans made for 100 years ago. So, in terms of perfomance, the only thing that makes the mustang go, is that truck engine. But the rest is junk, full of cheap plastic, rubbish transmission, and it has the aerodynamics of a barn-door.

@2001zx11d9 The point is that the Shelby lost at the one thing that it’s supposed to be good at AND it’s modded. Plus have you been in a shelby? All around it’s such a cheaply made car I’d say even $50K is a stretch for that thing

@ballathug69
Again, my point is, the AMG E55 is a $100k plus car new. All of these Euro cars are over $100k.
Saying the Shelby is “cheap” is relative; I just get tired of people justifying the high prices of these cars with quality. If you double the money put into the mustang, you wouldn’t be able to keep it affordable.
And FWIW, my wife owns a 2007 GT500 vert. I paid $36k for the car with 15k miles on it,
This GT500 had an intake and SCT tune. Who knows what the Merc had done to it.
