got a race with a new S65 next friday
long story short i played softball tonight with a pro basketball player that owns a brand spankin new S65 so of coarse i was all over it very nice car by the way. anyways he made the mistake of sayin it was the fastest 4 door in the world. so of coarse i said if im playin next week with you ill bring a lil E class out for a race. so its on im gonna try to get a camera to record the race but we will see.
question at what speed is his car gonna pull on me? so i can make sure we only race to that speed..lol..

word. i playd with a 65va while back. if you dont know a 55/65, and u put teh pedal to the floor at the get-go, then you WILL have a relitivly crappy 0-60ish. so learn how to launch your car, and hope that he will just slam on the gas and bog down his TCS. you should be fine if he lays on it.

Iv'e driven the new 65 for an hour at mercedes world in London when i was out there last month and the car has major wheel spin from dig so a reace from dig would help u... but then again i've never driven a 55 so im not sure about the wheel spin on that which im sure is major....a bit off topic mercedes world in london is AMAZING i recommend it to anyone who is out there....

I'd have to say if you dont get a good jump on him out of the hole, by 100mph, he should come by you...but it's the street and anything can happen...good luck, hopefully you'll get it on video

While I'm on the edge of my seat to see if you win the race, WHO WAS THE PLAYER?! You also live in the SF Bay Area, right? Who was it? A Sacramento King? A Warrior? Someone who is from here back during the off-season? Who?
I'm considering getting a used S65, so I absolutely NEED TO KNOW what the result of this race is also, mind you

Damn! I know someone who knows Matt Barnes! Yeeeah Rocket! Not sure if I'd rather be you or that Easton in your avatar... On second thought, the Easton wins.
But Barnes is the GOODS! Local boy (I think he is from Santa Clara), major passion this last season, KEY in the playoff upsets, LOVE THAT DUDE! WARRRRIORS... Come out and PLAY-E-AAAAY.
That said, tear his ride to shreds! E blood runs thicker than hoops blood, so I'm pulling for you all the way. Get him to autograph your registration or something...

After watching the (Jay) CL600 video, you better make sure you get a hell of a jump...if not don't know but seems like the 65 will surely catch you up top....

I was really impressed by the ABC on the S65.
I went there to test the SL55 and guess what, it was in the body shop.
$750 US for 3.5 hours of playing on a short track ... only because I had nothing to do that Saturday.

I am sure it'll be some quickies up to 100-120. Can't imagine him going over that.
He's gotta be thinking about the "NBA player arrested....clocked at over 130mph" headline just waiting for him.
Either way, take it to um Rocket!!!
