Gustav the hypocrite:
Now where I start to drift away from the Tri Star Corp is when you start talking mods....yup, besides exhaust and then the ecu mod....what we see is what we are gonna get and that reallllly sucks.
I believe Benz is gonna raise the rear end ratio to improve 0-60 times...basically all they can do as they drop all that torque.
You keep your beast. For years to come, even with cars getting ever faster, the 55K cars are still going to be hard hitting. As time goes on and cars get faster and faster, you can easily compensate with basic mods if need be. These 55K cars are now infamous. They will still be feared and respected for many years to come.
At least I own an E55 and don't go around bugging folks that own one!!!!!
Gustav is not a jerk, you apparently are for making such a statement!
He is posting here WITHIN THE BYLAWS that govern this forum! Simple as that!! Now, get your panties out of a twist

We're just saying if he's going to post his stuff here, he should allow the same type of stuff or less to be posted on his forum. Anyone says anything left of center about his precious M5 and "no soup for you!"
The Best of Mercedes & AMG
His response:
Censor that thread too.
Throughout, he and moderator kees have continued to delete my responses.
And now he has the ballz to falsely claim that all of the videos he posted here have Mercedes content, still trying to deflect even after I showed that he posted videos with no BMW content in his own forum.
But guess what? He lied about that too. Here is a video he posted in our forums with no Mercedes content, a BMW M6 versus an Audi RS4:
https://mbworld.org/forums/kill-stories/123959-bmw-m6-vs-911-turbo-highly-tuned-rs4-sl55-amg-race-upcoming.html
You can see me nail him here...at least until he censors it.

Busted again.
Further, as I already pointed out and as anyone who goes to your Race Stories can see for him/herself:
1) the forum has many videos with NO BMW content;
2) many of these videos were posted by you, personally.
Why do you keep spinning this? The facts are as clear as day. You exercise a clear double standard here, and any blind man could see it.

(Thanks, NOTKTS!!

And here is my response. I have responded three times that he's posted non-Mercedes content videos in our Kill Stories forum, and that's the issue, and he won't even allow my posts to remain. He's deleted the first two (including the one I quoted above; try the link!), and I imagine he'll delete this one too, if he hasn't already.

Velocit, the moderators try to check all the threads, but it's hard



Sheer coincidence, I'm certain...no marketing at all going on there...
I'd be willing to bet that this was one of the conditions BMW demanded of him to settle their suit of his using bmwm5.com .
Here is the link, which will doubtlessly be deleted along with the others because Gustav is nothing but a punk and a coward too intellectually dishonest to debate in his own forum:
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sho...4&postcount=11
And here is the text of my soon-to-be-deleted by the net **** post:
What is funny is that hundreds of people here, and thousands at our forum, now know that you have absolutely zero credibility and trustworthiness thanks to your ham-handed handling of this thread. Delete my posts all you like, but you cannot delete the facts. Thousands now know the real Gustav, and thus your credibility has suffered, deservedly so. Your behavior is documented, no matter how many posts you delete.
Truly pathetic.
In other words, he is a pathetic, lying piece of ****, nothing more.

I have asked this of you on multiple occasions, and you have refused. Why? If there is proof of his being rude, provide it. It should be simple enough; I can tell you that in the five posts he's made which remain, he in no way, shape, or form was "rude".
Here is a link to all of the posts he's made, followed by quotes of his posts in their entirety. Please identify any statement he's made which makes him worthy of being banned:
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sea...nduser&u=13540
Gustav,
For years I drove BMW's so I do not have any negative feelings toward the brand....however I did have two engine replacements which I've never had from any other manufacurer and I've about sampled them all.
I find the M-5 a wonderful car and can even live with the styling and completely agree as to its ability to track and incredible acceleration.
However, all E-55 AMG's are not created equal and I know of several here in the USA that would not be put to "sleep" by a "stock" E-60 M-5. In fact I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. I will pay for your air fare and shipping expenses for your "stock" M-5 to be shipped over plus all hotel and traveling expense IF you can out distance my E-55 from 0-225 with original equipment tires...I have less than 1250 US$ invested in upgrades. If you lose and I obviously believe you will then you're out the money. I suggest you not take the bet unless your 0-200k times are less than 12 seconds.
I doubt you'll let this stay on your board but I am entirely serious about my wager and will happily put money in an escrow account of our agreement.....the gaunlet has been dropped.....Gray
second post:
Gustav,
The point is I don't have extensive mods ..I did them myself and I'm no mechanic just a doctor...and I probably exaggerated the amount I spent...they are safe, don't effect daily drivability, and easily removed if desired.
I have no doubt as to the veracity of your experiences,however, I don't believe I would have lost prior to mods as my times were under 13 secs(0-200k) and the best I've seen on the M-5 is just under 14 secs...13.8??? I am not trying to start a flame war but your post would lead readers to think that the "stock" M-5 will easily out distance any "stock" E-55 to 225k and this is simply not true...on a mountain road I probaby wouldn't even see your taillights but on a straight...I don't think so.
Generalizations about out distancing "one" E-55 to your assessment that all E-55's will fall prey just want hold up once the cars meet in the real world. We'll just have to see.
However, the offer still stands.....you'd love the weather here this time of year and we'd show you true "Southern" hospitality...Gray
third post:
This will be my last post as I only wanted to make a point that generalizations can be misleading.....we all have part of our egos invested in these cars...sure all the bench racing/ magazine racing/Sunday racing in the world is nothing more than to use your words Adam.."a pissing contest"...to think that it's unusual to want a faster or more luxurious car and subsequently compare to others is simply human nature...it may be adolescent but its not unusual!
Most people make challenges or retorts but never back them up...I am not interested in defending the "honor of MB "or challenging the mighty "king" per se but I have trouble with generalizations and if you read Gustav's post carefully its there.... I disagreed and was willing to enlighten him a bit....no offense intended.
It seems the idea of a thousand dollars in mods was an issue (gee guys its just a $1000...probably less than the price of gas Gustav used on his trip) and if anyone viewed my challenge as anything other than a reaction to what I thought a biased generalization I apologize.
As to the remark regarding immaturity.....I thank God every day for it....really do you think anyone whose truly mature would be posting on these forums..,.Gray
fourth post:
Stumbo,
Finally someone over here does see my point....you are precisely correct.
I never bashed the car nor its driver's...nor would I.....but I've been around long enough to know that when something looks way too good to be true it probably is......and that "roadtest" met all the criteria....I'm with you though we'll wait and see.
However some of the members here remind me of angry dogs that end up biting themselves in their fury......Derek FSU who started the thread on mbworld has one of the first US M-5's to arrive this fall and eagerly awaits its arrival....and he almost is banned today.
May we all live long lives and enjoy the ride...for as that sage Jim Morrison once wrote....."keep your eyes on the road and you hands upon the wheel"
Peace...Gray
fifth post:
Just Me,
My name is Gray..I always sign my posts.
Here is your big chance, Gustav: please explain what, in any of those posts, constitutes or even approaches a violation of your terms of use.
Just kidding. I was threatening to ban him if he would not behave, true. I told him that he have to be respectful to fellow members, otherwise he is not welcome here. In anycase he was not banned so it is not an issue.Additionally, your times show the Gallardo 1.6 seconds faster to 200km/hr. In a quarter mile, that would make it run about 11 seconds flat. Hmmmm, probably not. Now we're saying that the M5 is equal in speed so therefore the new M5 runs close to 11 flat?
For lack of real world times, all we can do is compare magazine times. But dragtimes.com is real times plus magazine times. ALL of them are from 12.3-12.6.
This is the best report on M5 performance so far. As we get closer and closer we will continue to share, argue, debate, and discuss until they finally line up at the track and even then folks will have to see it or themselves.
And whoever thinks Americans don't drive their cars into triple digits is on crack. Just because it's not legal doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
- what did hilsman do in any of those posts which violated your terms of service?
- what did Derek do in any of his posts which violated your terms of service?
- why was my video moved from the Race Stories forum? You claim that this was because it was a non-BMW video and/or only had one car, yet to this day there are still both non-BMW videos and videos of single cars, many of which were posted by you, posted in the forum. If my video was moved for the reasons you gave, can you please explain why the others were not moved?
Why do you refuse to answer?
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sho...9&postcount=39
In anycase, so you people think it is not OK to post BMW vs. AMG cars in the relevant forums here? SL55 AMG vs M5 is on topic for SL55. Same with E55 etc.
So that is not OK? Fine then Ill stop. You asked me for the video when I did not post it?
Ruf Turbo R vs BMW M6 will be upcoming, but I gues that is of now interest of you.
Improviz: dont call me names thanks. I dont call you names. Keep the discussion proffesional and mature thanks.
I have banned hilsman because he did not behave towards fellow members. That was that E55 owner. Of course I allow Mercedes posts, I really liked this last one:
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=62015
But if Impro goes and post a video of NOS E55 doign a wquartermile it is not a BMW M5 topic, but Impro does not see this. I have welcomed Impro to show a M5 vs E55 video but he has not so far.

Further, you made accusations against me in your post on the Competitors forum and repeatedly deleted every response I made.
So that is not OK? Fine then Ill stop. You asked me for the video when I did not post it?
1) there were, and still are, videos in your Race Stories BOTH of non-BMW automobiles AND of single cars;
2) many of these videos were posted by YOU.
This is crystal clear.
The issue here is the hypocrisy, along with your posting videos here of your BMW-provided test cars to incite people while banning people like hilsman.
Ruf Turbo R vs BMW M6 will be upcoming, but I gues that is of now interest of you.
Therefore, one can only conclude that you are intentionally trying to deceive people, which, FYI, is a violation of OUR terms of service.
"Do as I say, not as I do."
Fine, I wont post any non-Mercedes race story here. Ill jsuut post AMG vs BMW M kills
Thats fine.I deleted your posts i nthe Competirors section since they were OFF TOPIC, and that is where the discussio ncontinued.
Reproduce hilsmans posts? Ye,s I see that he was rude and he was banned. Derek is not banned. And you are not either, so far

Casn we pelase try to post a s short posts as possibler, I siimply dotn have the time to read toooo long posts.

Man, are you thick! No one here has a problem with E55 vs M5 vids, we have a problem with the way you conduct yours. If you want us to stop *****ing, line the two cars up and go from a stop. Nobody cares about races from a 60mph roll, who the F does that? Races in the real world are from a stop. And in the real world, the E55 will pull the M5 to the 1320' mark. This, I suspect, is precisely why you wont make a vid of these two cars running eachother from a standstill. Bad marketing right.
The other problem is the fact that you post Vids here and then delete or move vids that we post in the Race Stories Forum over there. WTF is that about? You claim our vids were moved or deleted due to a lack of BMW content and yet I can take a stroll to M5Board right now and view vids that contain NO BMW CONTENT in Race Stories!
Nobody cares what you say or what excuses you have. You are a walking excuse dude, and your credibility went out the window after you got tore up by Improviz.
Bottom line, your credibility is shot to **** and your proven to be nothing more than a Troll for BMW, a liar and a total Hypocrit. You would be truly stupid to come back here which is why I will count on seeing you again.
