E350 4matic vs VW Golf R mk6
Not really a "kill" but I took off at a stoplight this morning with a shiny W212 E350 4matic sedan beside me and he was really trying hard to pull ahead. I wasn't really pushing it (shifting at 4500-5000, typical for me) but I was easily one car ahead up until the speed limit where I backed off then he shot ahead going probably 65+ in a 45.
Car looked good and that engine sounded mean at WOT for a little 350. Made me a little sad that I sold my black series.
I just thought it was hilarious that a E350 sedan would try to race

Is your car modded? I beat a Golf R with my GL450 going from light to light twice. Not sure if it was an MK6 or if there are any significant differences (no clue about all that stuff).

It's completely stock. The mk6 r is faster than a GL450 but it depends on the driver since they are all manual. The mk5 would be a close match.

It looked new, so it may have been an MK6. I am sure it was the driver if they are all manual. I think the GL450 does the QM in like 14.8 vs 14.2 according to Motor Trend. So, a bad driver makes all the difference. I had a friend who had a new 370Z (manual) and couldn't break INTO THE FOURTEENS at the track. LOL. What a horrible driver! Those should be in the low 13s all day.

I've taken out a few cars too. Cars that I didn't expect to win against or keep up. Took out my friend's Audi A4 2.0T too once from a stop.
