'Kompressor' = compressor, ie: compressed air, ie: supercharger compressing the air to a higher pressure ie: really fast car.

Just because a car is an auto, doesn't mean it's going to be slower than a manual car. Sometimes it's even faster. Look at BMW's SMG technology. Even look at Formula One cars (well, last year, not this year) they were auto's, but are they slow? No. I hate people who think that just because something is an auto, it's slower. Wake up.

I have a video of the E55 AMG racing a 490hp supercharged cobra, the E55 is auto and the cobra is manual, the cobra never one once. They raced several times and the E55 wins everytime. Things are so ungodly fast!

I'll try to post a link to the video when i have it uploaded to a faster server.

a friend of mine's father had an E55 for a couple months (before that an E500). I never got to see it thought cause i hadnt talked to her for that time and she didnt realize there was anything special about it. He sold it and got a carrera C4S instead. I wish i could have had a ride in that!!!!
