What happened to the E500 (Eleanor) vs. G37 thread?

Where'd it go? I never got a chance to read it, but I remember seeing the thread title.

G37's aren't quick (compared to AMG's, M's and RS's) but I believe he said the one he beat was blown. Ludicrous claim.

I agree. It was close, but I beat some G35 sedans back in the day in my CLK430.

With an E500, it might be close too, but if it was blown, forget about it!

Ive never drove a 55 personally but I used to have an S500 coupe and a G35 and I gotta say the infinitis are actually preety quick. The 500 had more power after 80, it just kept going, though the 35 was quicker off line. That would be a good run though. right about the only I raced on the infinti was a wrx and i smoked his ***, but that aint even close to a 55 so...

Didn't see it because I have sigs disabled. That's not an S55. Sound the poser alarm. PS It's an open PB and there are no other pics of that phantom S-class, only 3 recently loaded ones of the same pic.

I could see the top part of the calipers, which you wouldn't be able to do on a normal S-Class because they're a lot smaller.




But it looks like he deleted the sig. I cleared my cache last night so I don't have the link to his Photobucket anymore.

Is these pictures from the same car? The rears are not AMG calipers. Too small, mine are much bigger. I have 04 also so if . If not I will recant my statement.

No, I just grabbed these off of eBay to demonstrate the size difference between S55 and S500 front calipers.

I saved the pic on my work HD, there were no V8 kompressor badges on the side nor did I see AMG wheels or calipers. And I saved the big pic. PM me if you want me to email it to you.
