Anyone play with my 500E in Irvine Monday evening?

Saw a silver stock (looking) C63 on Macarthur/Jamboree in Irvine Monday 7/9/12 around 5-6PM. Got to play a little bit, but the light traffic from the stop light kept us from getting a good launch. Once we got around everyone, you got the jump on me but I stayed right on you. Thought you were going to stop for the light on Bison, but you ran it

It would have made a for very nice race from a dig. Not saying I would have won, but I would have liked a chance! Hopefully you're on here and we can try again some time.

It always gets me how loud these cars are straight from the factory.

Cheers! AMG

Nice classic you have there. Always loved the 500E. What a sleeper for those "not in the know" thinking it is a 300E.

No doubt always loved that model as well, the W124 is bullit proof.

Question

I don't think I've seen a 500E....So what is the capacity, power & torque of the engine, & how many speeds does the auto have?
Cheers, Pickles.

500E a rare classic. First and only time Porsche lent a hand to MBZ. The front flairs and low stock ride height are an epic statement.

Thanks guys. Stock power is 326hp and 354tq at the crank. I've got 348hp and 426tq at the wheels with nitrous, which puts me at approximately ~450hp and ~525tq on the juice. Luckily I happened to turn it on this time or he would have destroyed me!

Only 4 gears in my auto, so I'm also limited to ~160mph.
