No, it's not all that funny that AMg's outweigh a caprice. The AMG would kick a caprice's ass any day. It's not always about the weight, but how you are able to overcome it. The E55 AMG outaccererates a C6 Corvette and can carve up corners better than most sedans out there (the M5 and Maserati Quattroporte could probably out corner it) but the E55 rides better and has a very good trade off between ride and handling for those of us who don't have glass-smooth roads.
last time i played GT (either gt3 or prologue) in multiplayer the clk55 amg i used totally owned the z06 (both untouched) my friend had on the straights. so if gt is anything to go by he may have a point.
um...a caprice isn't necessarily loaded with acres of leather, and more gadgets than the space shuttle?
The old Z06, keep that in mind. Edit: Also I would like to see in what tests it out accelerates the Z06 because I can't see it happening.
Old Z06 as in 405 HP Z06... Rolling start, a E55 will win... 0-60 will be a tie.. and after about 100, the vette will start to pull ahead...
which is one of the reasons the z06 is faster from a standing start. im not talking about standing starts.
The E55 does have very impressive numbers though, better than what I was thinking, very close to the Z06 and C6.
No but we have the C6 for now which performs like the old Z06, and quit being such a dick all the time.
