Lightbulb e500 and s500 performance

i have been reading this thread for sometime, and enjoying all the kill stories, andi have noticed a lack of stories for the e500,and plenty on the s500, is there a performance difference between the e & s, or is it that e-drivers do not race,since the E is a smaller car i would think it would also be faster and more agile in a race.

Cosidering there are only around 1200 500E/E500 shipped to the states you won't see as many kill stories from a pure numbers standpoint. A 500E/E500 would rip an S500 a new one. Huge weight advantage plus more torque than any other M119 factory engine.
