"W210 E55 AMG:
0-60: 5.6
1/4 mile: 13.7"

Here is an exerpt from a Motor Trend article on the 210 E55:

Quote:
These cars aren't quick. They're genuinely fast: The M5 blisters 0-60 mph in a 911-like 4.6 sec. The Mercedes stays in the fours by 0.01 of a second at 4.99. The BMW's approximately 4/10 advantage hangs on through the quarter mile (13.08 at 109.41 mph versus 13.46 at 106.71). The difference isn't so much the old saw about power losses with an automatic transmission as that the Mercedes was all too happy to just smoke 'em at the starting line.

Here's another Motor Trend article that says the 210 E55 runs 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 13.3:

Heck, I think the factory even conservatively rated the 210 E55 at 13.5 seconds in the 1/4 mile but as evidenced by the drag slips I posted they can run in the low 13's stock.
