300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
G35
stick?Neither of you will win,tommygunn has you both by at least a couple lengths in his 97 straight 6 E320
seriously,probably a close race,infiniti sand bagged the h.p. ratings on the 04 models,and he might be a bit lighter.Take it on the track,1/4 tank full with octane boost added,remove your spare and every bit of junk you can,lower the rear tire pressure to 28lbs,disengage the traction control,cut a good light,and you might get him on the top end.

you could win
it's very possible, but u need to throw alll ur junk out...like spares, back seats..the jack n stuff...make sure u have good tire pressure, you will probably lose with pick up, those things are light with the same power as our cars...so i would take him from a roll, after that..you should hand his a$$ to him...these cars fly when they hit 80 they keep pulling HARD lol..good luck man...if it's from a stand..i would power brake it...i raced a 2003 E320 wit my E420...n i powerbraked....it was actually really kool...he did keep close to me, but my baby was haulin lol first baby

I own a 1999 W210 Mercedes.
Possible
I was curious and raced a Subaru WRX which are pretty quick little cars, turbo and all. But i was head to head with him in my e320 off a 30mph roll. At a dead stop i think you'll be toast. Do it on a roll and you will have a better chance. G35 are not amazingly fast, i used to pull on them with my stock Acura integra GSR, with intake and headers. Go for and let us know how it went.

Awesome. G35 owners are very sensitive on the interweb. If you feel like picking an e-fight post your story on the G forums or kill stories section over here. They hate it when they lose.

With rolling (merge, on the road, road-rage), you might have a chance. If you check, the G35 beat the M113 in both hp and torque, and a bit lighter too.
Saying doing this or that (remove all junk/spare, adding supercharge/kit ..) would not be a fair race. He's asking you to race the way the car is, stocked. If you bring your car to the track, then it's different story. But by then, eveyone would have done the same thing, so it's back to square one

Head to head is bad idea you must remember that your car is around 4000 pounds with all the junk with have in the car hehehe... get plus 5 cars keep your rev up around 4000 rpm and keep your car light.

im not sure 430 vs s2000. i think s2000 will win but i would like to race against one to see what would be the outcome. s2000 is like 240 hp or something like that and its very light.

They are all 6-speed.
I used to own an S2000 and I don't think it will outrun an E430 on a straigthaway. But I may be wrong. (remember we're only talking about
stock here)
Also, if the track has lots of twisties in it, then S2000 will win for sure.

On my way to work in the mornings I always get this red s2000 always speeding around me from this two lane stop sign. Dude is a middle aged twit always in a hurry to get now where. I am usually in my 4runner and know I cant take off like he can so I leave him alone. BUT!!!
Last week I didnt have enough gas or time to take my truck so I took the E. Man was I happy to see what was coming up behind(the twit)
He tried twice to blow past and couldnt. I dont like racing but this guy just rubs me the wrong way w/ his driving.
