it's not the fastest car on the street, but it's fast enough (could use a bit more power though) for what it is. 2.0 9k VS 2.2 8k? almost similar. depends on the driver as well. 00-03 with 9k band definately is more fun to drive.
stiffer suspension for the ap1 (00-03)? where'd you hear that? in my knowledge, they stiffened the rear suspension/chassis on the new models.
e55 amg VS s2k? i hope s2k has nitrous or SC'd. e55's are monsters for what they are. just not in the race category as the S. simply put, they're faster cars than the S- in a straight line only. bring it to the track, or join us in the mountain run this Sunday and the result will be different.
both are excellent cars. however, they serve different purpose and therefore in diff. cat. trying to argue about who's fast or what not is kinda pointless. my .02
