2004 Mercedes E500...no problem

Left work to pick up a snack and saw a brand new from caliber motors silver mercedes E500 with HRE 20s with a early 30s guy driving it. He pulled up next to me and started reving his engine. Light turns green and get a good jump on him. We raced to 80mph and stay about 1 car length in front of him.

Re: 2004 Mercedes E500...no problem

i test drove an E500 on a track and was really impressed. that car is fast and has good cornering capabilities. but i guess it's no match for the G!

I looked at the stats for the E500 and it seems like the 0-60 is a tad slower then the G, but the 1/4 is faster then the G.

Engine 5.0-liter single-overhead- cam V8

Horsepower 302

Torque 339 lb feet

0-60 mph 5.7 seconds

1/4 mile 14.1 seconds @ 102 mph

60-0 mph 124 feet

EPA Mileage 17 mpg city
24 mpg highway

If you live in the Los Angeles area, be on the lookout for my friend's E55. He just got 20" HRE wheels so he wont be too hard to spot.

Re: 2004 Mercedes E500...no problem

Yeah, the E55 is a monster but be on the lookout for some imposters too. I saw an E55 with a SINGLE exhaust the other day. It was too much traffic or I would have tried to get him to run...
