E55 VS E63 race scheme.

Okay here's what we do.

Someone needs to have a stock E55 around the corner from the stealer with camera ready. Then another guy goes in to "take a look at the E63"

Try to take the E63 for a test drive. You pull out with the E63 and the E55 just so happens to be waiting. If they let us take it solo we are all set. If sales guy is with you, then it's gonna have to be a quicky from a roll thing.

"Hey, look at that, another Mercedes....mind if I get on it a little?" BAM we finally have our answer.

We'll probably all go to hell for this, but still!!

sounds like a very noble idea... but it would not be a fair race since the engine needs a 1200 mile break in period... WAIT A MINUTE... THIS ENGINE IS NOT LIKE THE M5!!!!!!!!!!! <<< never mind >>>
