04 E55 AMG, 03 350z Track Built/Single Turbo
My 1000 Horse Stable
I had both cars outside today and thought I'd snap a few pics while they were both still around. They're a bit dirty so no close ups. 
I just picked up the E55 a month ago, and only plan to do the small cosmetic mods to it.. The Z is my old project car and will be up for sale soon.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys. Yeah, the Z is making a lot more power than the E so it's definitely a faster car.... BUT.... I'm loving the E's instant torque hit with 0 lag. Its also real nice to not feel every little bump in the road when driving!
Here's the underhood shot. I'm going to redo that intake pipe and polish it before it sells.
Turbo is a custom water cooled GTK850/650 hybrid. Good times!

It totally depends on how they're driven, of course. If I roll around in the Z and never get into boost (easy with that turbo), it gets better gas mileage - maybe 20-25mpg highway. As soon as I spool up the turbo I can almost see the gas gauge dropping due to the 850cc injectors.
The Benz is stock so on the highway I'm getting around 18-20mpg if I take it easy. Of course I still punch it every so often...
But yeah, 585whp should put it around 675hp or so at the crank.

yea srsly, i'd be pretty embarrassed that I didn't know that 500+ can be any number over 500..(600 is over 500, btw)
did it feel good when you held down that shift button to capitalize that s?
