Raced an E350 today...
In my wagon....
I lost, but it was fun. Pulled up to a stoplight on my way to work today, and I see a white Mercedes pulling up next to me. Happens to be a new E350 Wagon. Looked sharp. Anyways, we are both sitting at the red light, when I look over at him, and he makes eye contact with me.... We both nodded our heads, and that sealed the deal. Anyway, I held the brake and gas til my engine was sitting at 2500RPM. I dont know if he did this as well, but the light turned green, and we were both on the gas. I got him off the line, but once he was up on his cams, he pulled on me. He beat me to the next light, but it was all in good spirit. Pulled up to the next red, and we both smiled at eachother. Gave him the thumbs up, and he gave me a thumbs up as well. But overall, fun....

Maybe we need a "Kill Stories" section.
 That E350 is no slouch. 0-60 in the mid 6's.

You would have spanked him in the 600SL.
Don't worry, your day will come when you RULE.

Ahhh, yes I would have killed him in the SL. My boss laughed at me when I told him about going against an E350.... He said it couldnt be as bad as the time when we raced each other at the dragstrip and he beat me by 2.5 seconds with a bad launch...

Apparently he couldn't grab traction as he was running on street tires, not the set of drag radials hes got. That SOB could do like a 50 foot burnout before the traction control could figure out WTF was going on.

Jim- My boss always seems to win his races... However, he seems to never be able to win the race against his boss and his modified M5. hmmm..... Funny part is my boss seems to be able to beat him redlight to redlight, but never at the track.... Wonder why???

Raced my wife once with an 5-speed '86 Chrysler Conquest (4-banger turbo)...she had the '95 500 SL...despite power shifting, she kept a full car length lead all the way (at least until she stopped playing)...
