I would say driver mod will kill him if your HP doesn't first.

I believe they are AWD standard. C&D has a 2012 E550 sedan running 12.8's at 112.

The E550's are good for mid-high 12's stock.
I'd say it is a driver's race and who gets the best launch. Neither of you have the power to play catch, so, whoever takes the hit will probably take the cake.

its the 7 speed trans they come with that gears them agressively. I own a 2007 clk550 which is very similar to a E550. MAKE SURE you take the hit.

Back in 2010, when I first got my SS, an E55 AMG tried very hard to pass me. Triple digits were seen and on a twisty road (which we both knew well because neither of us bought it). I wasn't pulling away and he wasn't gaining on me. A 2011-2012 E550 is probably a tad quicker than the 2003-2006 E55 AMG but it's probably still a driver's race.
Interestingly Top Gear compared the 5th gen Camaro with an E63 AMG. That was not a win for the good guys because that car is a monster.
