A proud Lexus SC430 has fallen to the Beast.

Wasn't even lookin for it....friggin guy must have just gotten it (still had temp sticker)....He cuts me off and then pulls over at the light to race....I actually felt bad....imagine paying 65-70K and then getting smoked.

Not even close man.....just walked on him...WOW.

I know thousands of these go on each day...just my FIRST kill....I won't bog the forum down each time...promise.

Must have been very car-naive. Does he think 300 hp is something to go out hunting with?


I'd like to have seen that. BTW are you debadged?

Jakpro1

Nah, that's what really got me. This guy was following me for awhile. Benz from the front could be an E320 if ya don't look close....but he was staring right at the pipes...AMG...and E55 logo.....what an idiot. Probably home looking up the Beast on the net right now.

That visual gave me a chuckle. Maybe he's looking to trade it in???????

Those ugly-*** SC430s are kinda like cigars... I like to smoke at least one a day. Those piglets don't stand a chance against my '01, let alone a SC E55. Idiots.

At first I thought you smoked him with an E500. SC430 vs E55, yeah right!

Oh man, same thing happened with me tonight. Except this guy was in a Jaguar XJR. I'm pretty sure it was the R b/c it had the dual exhaust but for some reason it didn't have the same wheels or the aggressive body styling as my friends. I didn't get close enough to see the badges. Anyway, this guy was driving like a jackass and my friend and I pulled up next to him at a light on Sunset Blvd. The dude's with his wife/girlfriend and she looks at my friend and blows him a kiss. Naturally, ( ) he blows one back. Then she comes back at him with the finger and he just starts laughing and waves bye-bye as we took em off the line. Same thing happened at the next light; this guy for some reason must have thought his car would be faster the second time...guess not. At the third light he wouldn't even pull up beside me let alone exceed 25mph. I love people who don't know anything about cars and think they're the fastest hot-rodders around. Man do I appreciate my car

Long.
Live.
AMG.

And retards that think they can smoke AMG's.

It would probably be the same result againest an E500. Those SCs are heavy. Not to mention im not to keen on the 4.3 Liter Lexus engine.

The 4.3 in the LS outruns the S500. I'm not sure about the lighter E500 however.

Brav

no offense.. but theres absolutely no contest. Try a Z06.

ATS

0-60 times from the manufacturer the E500 is faster and this is the times with the 5 speed. The 7 speed would be a bit faster.. Either way, the E500 would beat it.

Clyde

Maybe its like.. impossible, but is there a sedan (non-mercedes) that is faster then the E55?

Jakpro1

Not after twin-turbie comes shined up outta AMG!

Also..when the Z06 comes a callin....I will just tip my hat, give him thumbs up, and let him pass on by.....no "win or die" ego here...it's all about having some fun....

I bet I'll get nailed a few times, but it's all in the numbers. Hell, Williams missed the ball 6 times outta 10 one year (.406 year without sac fly rule) and he's in the hall of fame.

E55_POWER

Those cars are slow for what they are on paper. I raced one off the line with my E500 and I kept up neck to neck all the way to 3rd gear and that is where the XJR started to pull away. The E55 would destroy one.

But back to the topic, hey at least it was a SC430, 4.3L V8, I once had a 525i try for 5 lights...
