Raced a G55 AMG.

And found out that a stock G500 is really slow, in comparison to the G55. Pulled up to a stop light, and silver G55 pulled up right next to me. He revved, and it was on....

And well, I got my doors blown off. Guy had like a 3 or 4 car lead after about a quarter mile.


Time to find some ricers to heal the blow.

That thing is seriously fast. I am an idiot for challenging a monster of a car, but it was fun....


Man, did that thing roar when he was high in the rev range.

You think a regular G500 is slow, drive a regular ML320. That thing is a turd! Right now I'm driving the ML until I get the 420SEl fixed. I will be happy to drive a car that can actually move when I get my car back. I bet the G500 will blow the doors of my 420 though.

His brick lit up the tires for a second, and then he took off. I can chirp the tires on my brick though.

Actually, I had a 1998 ML320. It was actually a pretty peppy little SUV.


The G ran a 15 second quarter at the track last summer.... Its slow, but it beat the Yukon Denali in the other lane!

Three or four lengths is not bad considering you only had 2/3 the HP should have been 6 or 7.
