M6 tie

Got behind an M6 at a traffic light on Fulton Industrial on the way to manheim GA auction (picking up an RX330 for Xmas present for daughter). Had my coworker with me. We got up to about 80 - I was right on his tail. I think 1st gear passed me by, so it was more like a hesitate, glide into 2nd then go, so probably could have pressed him harder with 1st gear.

Saw him in the parking lot, we said hi.

I hate to sound like a dumbass, but I just don't know. So here goes,

Why don't they make the E class with the V12's? Or do they in Europe? I've never seen one over here.

They have E-class with bi-turbo V12. Here's the link:

Probably due to cooling, packaging, weight distribution and crash standards, marketing (cost approaches encroachment on other models), stuff like that.

That makes sense. I guess if I want one, I'll have to build one.

regor60, Nice run with the M6.
Sorry about the thread hi-jack.
