2004 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG 0-160MPH-0 Run in 1 mile on a CLOSED ROAD World Record?

- This is a video of my 2004 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG 0-160MPH run on a CLOSED ROAD, 1 mile in length. Action starts at 1:27 if you're impatient. :) It get's a bit dicey at the end when I'm trying to brake but I think you'll find the power of, "The Beast" pretty impressive. (I am biased obviously). I go from 0 MPH to 160 MPH back down to 0 mph in 1 mile. (Could this be a world record?) :) #amg #mercedes #mercedesbenz
Funny old commercial on the E55 (Work safe): • Mercedes Benz E55 AMG ...

140 MPH quarter-mile trap speed on a rear wheel drive 4 door sedan with standard tires on the street (vs. a prepped dragstrip) is not too shabby, even by today’s stand standards. 😎👊
"Lets light this candle "
Yes from Top Gun. Best. Movie. Ever. :D
I can see why they put in a higher reading speedometer in the 05+ models. Damn that's fast!
the E55 was the fastest production sedan in the world during 2004 - 2005. :)
Alex Taylor e39M5 was the fastest before, then MB said fuck you with the W211, then BMW said fuck you with their e60 and it just goes back and forth....
@@ernestocastellanos6446 LMAO
@@ernestocastellanos6446 i believe e55 is faster on a rolling race and a drag than the m5 but i may be wrong ?
@@ernestocastellanos6446 BMW didn’t say fuck you with the E60 M5. It had a naturally aspirated 5.0L V10 w/ 500 HP… the W211 E55 had a supercharged 5.4L V8 w/ 493 HP. They claimed it had 469HP but it actually had 493 I’ve dyno’d E55’s. The E60 was actually slower than the E55 in top speed, 0-60, 1/4mi, and had a lot less torque. Only thing it had on the E55 was 7 more horses.
But they were extremely close, they were also direct rivals. The BMW had massive mechanical issues and was a huge money pit, the E55 had a lot of air suspension problems, and the supercharger would heat soak after a few pulls.
Personally I think the E60 M5 is cooler just because it had a 5.0L V10 500 HP. The thing had nearly a 9,000 RPM redline and a naturally aspirated V10. It’s glorious. I think if the E55 had supercharger whine it’d be just as cool, but you can’t hear the supercharger. So it’s like a V8 vs a V10 when you hit the gas. Obviously the V10 sounds better and is more addicting to smash the gas petal. Especially considering it revs much higher.
But if the E55 had supercharger whine it’d be just as addicting, but the exhaust is really quiet and muted, and so is the supercharger.
It's honestly hard to believe how fast that thing actually is. I need to take a ride in one of those
Yes it's really simply stunning. It's so stealth as well the ultimate sleeper.
@@alextaylor29 Do you still have it?! If so that's awesome. How many miles does it have now
I know the car is 8 years old and can run with the newest cars out today. It was WAY ahead of it's time! No other 2004 (M3, M5, CTS-V, Corvette, etc...) today can match what an E55 offered in 2004. Best car I've ever owned!
Alex
I bought one six months ago and it still smokes modern cars. Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.
the honking at the end while attempting to slow this jet aircraft down was priceless :) GREAT car and ridiculously powerful! :)
Yeah that is the funniest part of the entire video. :) Next time I'll do a Go Pro and mount it properly. :D
Alex Taylor That was actually REALLY cool. It sounded like the cockpit of a jet. The first time I saw it I said "hold on a minute mine doesn't do that when braking hard" and I thought it was a feature or something then I realized it was the horn :D Seriously though that was cooler than the run itself :P
“I paid for the whole speedometer I’m going to use the whole speedometer”
Exactly lol!
Well if you want to split hairs it was 0-156MPH in .9 of a mile. :D
faster than that because he gets up to 156 and back down to 0 in .9 . So it would probably be more like 180mph if he hadn't of applied the brakes. Really impressive machine.
Thank you sir.
Alex Taylor no disrespect but I hope you don't think that anybody is going to watch any of your other videos maybe if you put something cool about your car on here but come on bro that's kind of weird there's too many weirdos and creeps nowadays I don't know why you'd be putting so many videos of little kids up there I know you love your family bro but keep it to yourself there's too many weirdos out here
@@hermanford2071 ?
"Adult owned " "gently used " 10k cash
Congrats!
It’s not hard on the car it’s good for a car to get wot for some of its life
I laughed way to hard reading that, that’s what the guy told me who sold me my 99’ E55 and it had a few problems
Had my 55K Wagon just over one year, with 55,K miles, absolutely love it.
Yeah E55's are monsters. in 2004 & 2005 the E55 was the powerful production sedan in the world. No joke, look it up. in 2006 it was displaced by the M5, but to this day, the E55 is the ultimate monster sleeper. :)
100% agreed. The 5.5L Kompressor motor is fantastic, especially for mods as you can see for yourself. :)
Wow, that was crazy fast, I'm looking to get one tomorrow, stock. I might do some too if 470hp won't be enough for me, lol
Yep replace that pump with the CM30 and you're golden! That was my very first mod within 2 week's of owning the car! :)
E55 AMG without a doubt the best, most well rounded MONSTER of a daily driver. Its got it all.
100% agreed. Getting in good with your MB service manager is key as well.
Thanks for sharing. I have an 04 with slightly less milage and grin every time I go for a spin. Such a fun and tourqey powerband. Light that candle! Lol
Agreed! :)
I put one in the garage two weeks ago, '04 with 67K garage queen miles. Such a blast to drive, I'm keeping my Yukon so the E55 can live a long life of fair weather drives. Thanks for the great video showing what these things can do!
Ryan Grace you'll love it! Very, very fast car and the ultimate sleeper. :)
I'm pretty sure that I watched this video sometime in 2005 while a senior in college. Still an awesome car.
Thanks yes it was a beast! I'll be getting an M5 soon and will tune it to 850 HP and do another video on the same road! :)
Without the limiter I have. O doubt this puppy with enough quality road would hit 190-200 mph there is not a second of hesitation to it's limiter at 155 mph. This thing is a mad beast. Slap a quality tune on it after a couple of quality modifications and this will sleep just about everything. Only thing about this car I absolutely hate is the SBC brakes that cost 2-3K to do a brake job on
Agreed!
Yeah it was crazy at the end if you hear my horn going off a few times? I was braking so hard (I have Redstuff brake pads all around) that I was pressing on the horn and I didn't even realize it. (My flip camera was perched on the steering wheel with my right hand and I guess I was freaking out a bit about not being able to stop in time.)
I love my E55! It's an 8 year old car now can you believe it? :) Best car I've ever owned! :)
Thanks for watching!
Alex
I have two questions one is why did u honk the horn towards the end. The other one is how have repair costs been.
Yes it wasn't intentionally. The brake forces (deceleration) were so significant that my hand that was holding the flip camera got depressed onto the horn. :) Total accident.
you are crazy doing it during night time!
Without going into too much detail mods include, 180mm pulley, tune, headers, upgraded heat exchanger and a few other, "Nick nacks." My car is not fully modded out but just some of staight forward ones. If I wanted to go crazy I could put in another $3K of mods and it would be even faster if you can believe that. However my car is, "Fast enough" for me so I'll keep it as is.
Thanks!
Alex
Also the stock mufflers are good for 700+ HP so no need to change them out unless you want to to sound louder. For Mods, tackling it from three sides 1) More Air In, 2) More Air out, 3) More fuel in. Sequentially focus first on more air in (it's a superchanged motor remember) so this is the pulley and tune then on more air out (headers) and finally more fuel in (upgraded injectors) to even things out.
There are a few other mods not listed here, but this is the bulk of them I'd recommend!
Thanks for watching! This was definitely one of those, "That box is now checked!" things for me. :)
First time I hit 150 was the last....
Correct! All 2004 E55's in the US had 160MPH speedos. Google it up if you don't believe me. :)
I smiled so hard at that exhaust note
Thanks yes the headers were aftermarket but I kept the exhaust/mufflers stock. I really like the, "Stealth" look/sound. Less tickets that way lol. :D
Amazing car man! Thanks for sharing!::)
My pleasure!
wow. that car has some go go juice
Thanks!
Love mercedes. My gosh do they produce great vehicles! I just got my wife a CLK 500 2006 convertible with black AMG wheels. It like the coolest car I have ever seen. The V8 has tremendous amounts of power. I think my next car will be an AMG.
Yes love MB. Remember they actually invented the automobile. :) Definitely consider the AMG line, they are amazing!
Is it stock? That's insane, and I have access to an E55, and can say it's a faaaaaaaast car!
I use my as a daily driver with no issues. Get the extended warranty and you're golden. I spend 2.5 hours in my car daily and am so glad I have an E55. I call it my, "Fortress of solitude" and if you really enjoy driving, why not pick a care you love?
My $.02.
Alex
It starts @ 1:22
Yep thanks, I mention this in the description as well. (1:27).
Definitely look at the E55. You can get them for a song now and with just a tune and pulley ($1,500) you'll have them at 600 HP (at crank) easily. The motor and tranny are bullet proof and they are the ultimate sleepers so I never get tickets from the PO-PO. :)
100% agreed. More to replace, but then more to love. Extended warraties are your friend. :)
Wow that's a hard pull on the brakes and to come to a stop and sit there. Impressive machine, but for the sake of your brakes, please don't ever to that again! lol.
All seriousness, nice run. I'm looking forward to playing with my 14 E63 s.
Yes that box is checked LOL. For what it's worth I had upgraded the pads to EBC red stuff and put in Motul 660 brake fluid which has a much higher boiling point and it all worked out. The next morning when I came and looked at the car, the front rotors were black due to the kinetic energy turning into heat. Energy never disappears of course it simply changes form. I went from ~160MPH to 0 MPH in .3 of a mile and remember the car with me in it weighs 4,500 lbs. AMG brakes are amazing.
went to Reds eh? I had reds on my lincoln ls, worked ok, but short life and kinda dirty. greens were like compressed coal.
went with yellows and honestly not bad. They squeak just a tiny bit, but truth be told, I like that. Seem to have good bite despite being a 'track pad'
Yes I went with Reds as they were the most grippy, but yes dirty and they squeaked but you can see that they do indeed work. :D
It cost me $1,000 including shipping the ECU to Kleemann in Colorado. Gains for the tune alone are in the +40 HP range. A tune and a pulley are the first things you should do for the E55 motor.
My $.02.
Those AMGs are fast as fuk,,,dammmmm!!! nice,,,
Why are these fast, american crap is slow, its heavy has shitty cd numbers. american big engine, low hp/litre output
Crypto Junkie what the hell r u talking about an AMG is German,,,
Crypto Junkie dude... The car is German... What The fuck are you talking about??!
Crypto Junkie OK first of all, this car is German, second, what the fuck do you mean american cars are slow?
Crypto Junkie You are the stupidest person I have ever seen.
1. Mercedes-Benz/AMG Is GERMAN.
2. American "Crap" Isn't slow either.
Get your shit together before you say something and look dumb as you are. I own a 1999 Mercedes-Benz E430 that's NOT an AMG and that car itself is fast as shit. 4.3 V8. So tell me, how is AMG Slow?
I just picked up one of these. At the end of the video it looks like you were at a fork in the road that led into a ditch. Looks like you had *just enough time, and braking power to stop the car* that’s what those eight piston brembos up front are for.
You are completely correct. It has 6 piston brembos up front and 4 out back. I replaced the pads with EBC Yellow Stuff along with Motul 660 brake fluid which has a much higher boiling point. What most people don't know is the E55 was the first car ever with, "Brake by wire" and MB invented anti-lock brakes. And yes if I went 20 more feet I would have hit that telephone pole which would have been a bad day. :) That box is checked! :)
@@alextaylor29 no the e55 came with 8 piston brakes up front
You're a sick man, loved the video. :-D I dont have road or radar detector to try anything remotely close to that. They seem to keep finding me at the 125 mph mark... hot fuzz. I need a race track, but even there you still cant hit 150 or more.
Man! I really enjoyed that, conducted safely too. Nice ride man...
I’m definitely buying one soon to smoke everything from where I’m from they always brag about how fast their Honda Civics are I can’t wait to dust them in this thing 😂
Yo you just made me want one even more
Yes sir you are correct! 2005 and beyond E55's had 200 MPH speedos on the states.
Yes, that may help but ultimately you also have to be a loyal customer and be able to prove your service records are there. A's and B's.... etc. Mercedes USA will kick back warranty claims if they suspect ill treatment of the product. So I guess this is where being a good customer comes in. :)
Yes I do. The key is to get in good a MB service manager and he keeps any/all mods hush, hush so warranty covers everything. That's the trick.
No problem. The AMG's especialy 4 doors are stealth mobilesand I'm a huge Doge/HEMI fan having owned two Darangos and 2 Chrylser 300's so I completely understand your point. The E55 and any 4 door AMG is a, "Have your cake and eat it to vehicle," which is rare. You get power, performance, status, luxury, rarity, comfort, safety, engeineering and yes wait for it, pracicality in one package. Put simply, what AMG & the E55 in particular delivers.
My $.02.
I'm about to hit 66,666 miles...today. :) Mine's an '06 with the warranty extended to 110,000 miles... Klemann 168 pulley, Kleemann headers... some other goodies. The only other car I think I'd even consider driving other than it is a new TT E63... but I'll wait to find one of those in two years when one comes off lease (like I did to get me E55).
Actually I have it tuned by Eurocharged so the top speed limiter has been removed. :)
I bought the car from CarMax and simply purchased their extended warranty (MaxCare) I believe and they take care of everything! CarMax has the best/most affordable extended warranties out there and I'll buy my AMG's from them going forward just to get the warranty. :) (And no I don't work for them)
heroic
As an MB Tech, I will say.... The E55's are way hotter than the 63's. The 113 with a supercharger just screams. Not to mention I love the 211 body... All the power you would ever need, just add some vossen wheels and a couple of mods with a nice tune. =
Really.Nice.Ride.
Sounds so much batter than the current amg's
Yes the 5.4L Super charged E55 was an amazing motor. It was the highest rated 4 door sedan in the world in 2004 and 2005. Under rated it was likely 550 HP at the crank and again this is 2004. That would be like 750 HP today. It trapped the quarter mile on this video at 145 MPH. :)
you got slotted rotors? if not get those itll help with them heating up, red stuff should be ok for that car, yellow stuff if you want a more aggressive pad but hope you dont mind a bit of brake dust.. if you drive fast on a regular basis (not assuming you do but IF you do by some chance) then id say upgrade to k-sport or stoptech racing brakes.. guarantee you wont overheat them in that car. my favorite brake company is mov'it but a bit pricey... lol
Exactly. :D Although the 6.2L motors (they're not actually 6.3L) are great as well.
Wow, impressive. You still have the car?
I do not I traded it in but plan on getting a used E63 AMG with the 5.5L TT motor (vs. the 4.0) Mod that and go again. :)
I know, I used to have a CL55. I guess I just got confused since the CL doesnt have the 500rpm mark, I never noticed how far below 1000 the needle was at idle.
The engine sounds nice.
that was pretty good man. whoever took shit about that. is because they got nothing even close to that...
Agreed! There are always faster cars, but for a 2004 model, especially for a big heavy sedan, it's speed is breathtaking.
i wonder where this car is today, i purchased mine with 69k a couple months ago and this guy had almost that 12 years ago!
Yes, I sold it back in 2012. It had just had 100,000 miles and the extended warranty for 100,000 miles which covered over $20,000 of upgrades and repairs was expiring so I figured it’s time to look for something new. It was a wonderful wonderful car it’s probably here somewhere in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Best car I have owned.
nice video. what's ur 0-60 time?
Likely in the low 4 second range per the video (but I had traction control on for safety) so likely
Yep totally get it. Buy an extended warranty with the car and you'll never worry a day again. You take it to the dealer for any/all repairs and it's covered. They'll even give you a free MB loaner car (usually a C300/C350) to boot. Always get an extended warranty with an E55.
My $.02.
Alex
Sorry I should have clarified. So buy your AMG's from CarMax so you can get their awesome extended warranties for a great price. For my parts/tune, yes I go exclusively through Eurocharged. They have fantastic prices on parts, tunes and the coolest part is they can tune you remotely and all their re-tunes are FREE! So if you plan on modding your car go with Eurcharged as you'll need/want a re-tune after a major mod and they do it remotely for free. The video is proof of their tunes! :)
AMG's don't have logos on the hood, at least not the 2004 model year. On that point all 2004 E55 AMG's, sold in the states had a speedo that went to 160MPH. (200 MPH was added in 2006+ models and beyond.) Morever if you look at my tachometer , it clearly says V8 Kompressor which if course refers to the supercharged 5.5L motor.
Feel free to research or just as your brother, he'll know. :)
Alex
the hellcat twins do the standing mile in 38 seconds at 186 and they'll get back to zero in less than a tenth of a mile and that's a pretty sloppy car. for the year this car is a straight line monster but not shattering any glass ceilings :)
Yep I hear you. Just keep in mind this is/was a 2004 E55 and the Hellcat is of course a 2015 - 2016 so one could say the E55 was 10 years ahead of it's time. :) There will always of course be something faster.
+Alex Taylor oh I agree definitely I'm looking for a 04-06 e55 right now myself would much rather have it than anything new short of a c63 but I'm not the 6 figure car kind of guy lol.
The E55 was more of a game changer in 2003 than the hellcat is in 2015-2016 Nothing could even come close at the time.
+AMGmeister Corvette z06? Porsche 911 turbo s? i mean even the cayenne turbo s was pretty close to the e55. i know it's comparing apples to oranges but the hell cat is the only 700+ horsepower car you can buy for under 70k. with drag radials people are getting into the high tens in the quarter mile. there isn't a new car you can buy that's high tens in the quarter with just a tire. the hurricane Audi v10+ corvette z06 911 turbo those cars are all over 100k and the hell cat can hold its own. the m5 wasn't a strong competitor in a straight line but it was damn close and was a much better driving car than the e55. not to mention there were cheaper cars at the time you could buy that were just as fast.
Well the e55 held its own back in the day. You have to remember that the zo6 only had 385 hp. Dodge viper srt-10 basically had the same straight line performance but cost a similar price. Considering the e55 is a big 4dr sedan that's pretty impressive. Hellcat is basically doing the same thing now except the competition is so close from cts-v and e63.
It basically comes down to MB & AMG's have many more part and are more complex (but the driving experience is awesome) compared to a domestic. So nothing catastrophically when wrong, but standard stuff, air suspension (eventually goes out), had to replace the supercharger bearings things like that. Again get the extended warranty and you are covered.
great car and upload 👏👍👍👍
Thank you sir.
Dope dude!
Wow thing really is fast, if you had applied the throttle a little more gently you could have built power faster, but just note the traction control is hitting all through 1st and 2nd gear, it's only when it hit's 3rd over 80mph that the motor can unleash it's full power, in essence the wheels are holding maximum traction all the way up to 130mph, and they car is not letting up right to 160. In truth the car can go 200 and is just limited, but that impressive to have that much high speed acceleration.
Yes agreed certainly not a perfect run (and on stock tires as well) so still had some speed in there.
Would be interesting what it would do on a full mile pull. These cars are just beasts. Really easy to extract more power from them too.
yes likely 200 MPH is possible. Keep in mind the E55 had a great drag coefficient I believe .26 or .27 which is very, "Slippery" making it a great high speed car.
I get 21 MPG in blended city and hwy so it's not that bad actually. It requires 91 octane so be aware of that.
This mile is exactly one road and no roads more.
Yes sorry was a bit nervous to be honest. :)
Do you have a warranty on it? I am looking at one but I know I really should get a warranty on it.
You can pick up a nice used E55 for mid 20's so go for it! You can have your super car today! :)
I'd recommend you have a shop do it (that's what I did) as there are some specialized tools needed. I did the lower pulley, not the upper pulley which I believe is harder/more complex to do.
was the car stock at this time? i know you now have your tunes and other "mods for go"
Oh no Sir. Thank YOU for posting. Be safe...
I think he meant that you need to get a house that is closer to your workplace.
Ofcourse by "Closed road" he means "The neighborhood backroad schoolzone while schools closed". :)
Lol no! I live by a state park and basically it's a straight road into the park. At night, they close it, (close the gate, the park, and everything.) So for this run I just drove up to the gate, turned around and dropped the hammer on the road going away from/out of the park if that makes sense. This way If I overshot or something went wrong I wouldn't run INTO the closed gate. So on my word, the road was closed I promise.
Alex Taylor So why is there a kid on your windshield? :D
wow!!! after that I need a cigarette! and I don't even smoke! lol!!! thats for sharing!
This is gonna b my new sht right here.
Enjoy it! :)
Deer!
dem brakes!!!
hi alex, i´m from Germany (23years) and i want to buy me a 03 or 04 e55,i sold my alpinwhite 2000 bmw 540i zhp (manuel,324hp) last week,so i have a few questions to you...was your amg stock in this Video?it accelerates veryyyyy fast,i stopped 0-120 in 13.24 sec with my smart fone.and do you think that the engine loose power when it has 125000 miles on the speedometer? :)
It was not stock. I had a tune, pulley, headers and a bigger heat exchanger and it probably was 650HP and 700 ft/lb of torque at the time. For mileage, don't worry, as long as the car was maintained properly these cars are bullet proof. My $.02.
Alex Taylor Hi Alex, sorry to bother you. First of all..... Great video :-) !!. Where did you buy the pulley upgrade ?. I am thinking of buying a kit at AMS performance, but don't know if it's a serious company....
Best regards, Michael, Denmark.
been in one and honestly doesnt feel like your doing 180 or 200 because the cars so smooth going lol
Mika Pilimai Yes the car rides very smoothly thanks to the airmatic suspension.
Is the road conplete horizontal? Sorry just can't belive it. Or has it some mods?
LIFE4VW It was flat yes and the mods have been mentioned above. Plus it was nice and cool, so basically ideal/perfect conditions which is why I ran it. :)
I have an e55 I just purchased with headers and full exhaust I am wondering is there anything done to this e55
i love my e55 !! best car ever
+wrestlerkid99 Yes it is a beast. People forget that the E55 was the most powerful production sedan in the world in 2004 & 2005. :)
thanks for that!
Totally stock, cos mine seems about as fast. I had to take AMG Academy driving class to learn how to not crash it, speed build in a scary fashion, especially if you're a former mx racer with sometimes questionable judgment...lol
Still have it or sold ?
How the hell is that taching at 500rpm at idle?
0-156mph in 25 seconds
U get better traction on comfort 2
Nice bro bin looking at this car was gana get this or the m5 but not sure your car stock
He paid for the whole speedometer he's gonna use it
Drive it like you stole it lol! For the record I owned this car it was not stolen. :)
156 mph not 160
.9 miles. Still awesome.
As I note in my initial discription. :)
How much will this walkway cost?
