Yeah its fast (enough)..LOL And you have no idea what the hell you are talking about..
winning a race is all about the person behind the wheel not how much your car weigh's or how fast it is..But lets not go there.
I did have a humorous story about a teenager in miami and a cobra to share with the person I was originally taking to, but since you've spilled Hater-Aid all over it I'll decline. HOnda accord Please.. IS that what you drive??

But, since you are so sure your vehicle is hot stuff, lets do some magazine racing.
1. 2004 S430, 0-60 of 6.8, 15.1 @ 94 mph, 0-100 in 18 seconds, 16lbs/hp
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...430_specs.html
2. 2008 Accord V6, 0-60 of 5.9, 14.5 at 99.8, 0-100 in 14.5 seconds 13.2lbs/hp

So, it seems to me that your car would be easily waxed by the honda accord at just about any speed.
As for my vehicles, I have an e430 and an 850bhp cobra.

Yeah youre right I just got home tonight and took anther look at my Netstar

I have no idea where I got that from.. Too many cars I guess.. as you can see it just says 646 18" 5 spoke alloy's .. Those must have been the AMG's that I removed.. It's unlikely the original owner swapped them, he traded this car for some big duelly truck at a ford dealer.. That's where I scooped it.

Thanks for clarifying that. I thought I was losing my mind

Thats funny you say that becase the other day I was on the highway in a bit of a hurry and tried to pass one on the new honda's and sure enough he "waxed me"...lol they are faster than I would have ever imagined.

hey lorinser,whats up?
im not talking smack,just fact.i can remember you saying you made more $ than another member would make in their entire lifetime.your car is smashed,give it to some neighborhood kid who would love to fix it up.it is time for you to step up and show "me" the money.id like to hear about you going out and building your dream car at your local MB dealer.and why are you worried about 10 or 20k that the insurance company may or may not pay.clients with BIG $ move on,and your wife should not even feed you a ration over spending $135k on your dream car cause the other one isnt useable anymore.

there is no doubt about it
i just cant figuer it out.every time im on this forum lorinser is throwing mad amounts of cash at his car.i then see the damage pics and the front of the car looks as though it has been following a gravel truck from NY to LA,ca.chips everywhere.i expected to see this pristine,one of a kind,exotic S-500.
that had been wiped out.it wasnt that at all.

Don't forget these are teenagers... thinking and talking like teenagers with no kids, no home, or wives, or child support, or anything that resembles responsibility...
Most of their money if there is any at all is so new, you can still smear the ink off of it so of course its burning wholes in their pockets..
I don't how in the past year or so this forum became flooded with very young guys with no real responsibilities or experience in life bragging and talking this and that about their cars as if it really means anything..
I just listen... and laugh because I used to be a teenager...
Sad thing is that you can't even get real technical advise on this forum anymore due to a lot of mr know-it-all's who'd rather waste thread after thread arguing about the silliest things than actually contributing to the site normally taking attention from the original posted issue. Have a look at most of these threads and you will see, most of them end up with two or them pages of chatter that are completely off topic from the original thread.
This thread right here is a perfect example.
I was thinking the other day.. "Man the W203 thread is more mature than the W220 thread why is that?" And those are supposed to be the younger crowd market cars.. go figure...
Watch how many people I make mad with this...LOL
I believe there are many guys on this forum who post just to belong.. they don't actually own a thing. Nor do they actually do half of the things they brag about and its obvious as they will solicit advice for things real owners with real experience will otherwise already know how manage.
This used to be a meeting place for people to share ideas, thoughts, and technical advice that can't be found at the Dealer level.. Now its a meeting place for irresponsible teenagers trying to fit in, and those who wish they were...OR extreme purists throwing shade at every opportunity.. Both IM are quite disrespectful at times..
Sad.. cuz I didnt used to be this way.

Face it, you and Gondon are cockroaches, add nothing technical, are completely clueless with regard to repair and service, and are full of false bravado. You spent your "doe", how effing stupid are you? And with pics of G'dumbs taillight changeout, with all that crap in the trunk it appears he lives in his car. I swear two chimpanzees must be loose in Brooklyn, Animal control is on the way.
Thats a pretty ****ed up thing to say...
Whats your problem?
What the hell is going on with the W220 section. I just see people taking smack for no damn reason...
RCCMERC your the the child here. Making a complete fool of yourself.
