<snip>The E63 is slower and comes with the puny 6 piston brakes instead of the SL65/SLR 8 piston setup on the E 55. The E63 is cheaper to build(no supercharger), and is just a way for MB to squeeze more profit.<snip>

I wish I had that much time.

guys
this guy has ripped off the results of the Moroso drags that we did in the early days of the E55 vs E63 debate, that I posted on this forum two years ago.
Those are my time slips from Moroso not his - this guy is ripping off my stuff and I am going to shut him down
I wil keep you posted on this thread.

I fixed the time-slips image that he is hotlinking to with a pertinent message.
take a look at his ebay posting now.
No matter how you look at this, he is a total slime ball amateur for sure. Snipping irrelevant content to make his car look good. Plus plagiarism, hotlinking, and more.
I thought about sending him an email to let him know, but I thought better of it. I would rather have it out there so that everyone can see what he is doing.

So we took a couple of cars to the strip to test for ourselves - nothing more! If I recall correctly, AMG even went so far as to ship two US E63's back to Germany for testing, as they were unable to expalin what we were experiencing here in the US when the E63 was launched.
Just a trip down memory lane

Good job Siswati changing the verbage on the time slip pics 
Does this signature look fake? I have owned 3 AMG's and none of the sigs were this pronounced. Maybe Im reading too much into it:

dude i read through the whole thing, and all i can say is, that's pretty messed up. he could have at least contacted you and asked for permission, which i'm sure you'd have given him.
now hotlinking the time slip is just freakin great, GENIUS!!!!!!!!!

Why would he be bragging about race and beating the crap out of his car. I'f I am car shopping the last thing I want to know is that the guy beat the crap out of it at a race track...even though I am gonna beat the crap out of it worse than he could ever even dream.

Hey Vic55
Never seen a nameplate like that, and I have been under the hood of many AMG's. Also on my recent visit to the AMG factgory in Alfalterbach, NONE of the plates waiting to be affixed to the engines looked like that.
And on a side note, while I was there I asked about my current CLS55 engine builder (name withheld to protect the "innocent") and he had recently been let go!!!! Couldn't extract the reason!!!!

siswati:
that's completely cool that you were able to change his ebay ad!
the dealer sounds a bit off... which is THE reason that i always research/find/purchase my sports cars from fellow enthusiasts like you all. we are all passionate about our 'hobby' and care for our automobiles accordingly. i've been around mostly bimmers and everything BMW - and i've been impressed thus far with this forum and its members.
keep it coming!

I tip my hat to Siswati...what you did is hilarious. Imagine the seller/prospective buyers are just scrolling through his ad and then see your little message. It caught me completely off guard. Very nice work.
I love this forum. Seems like everyone who tries to pull a quick one on us, gets owned.
