My Ride: 2007 Mercedes Benz e63 AMG
I was curious whether this site had a section that other sites commonly refer to as "kills" - stories about people racing other kinds of cars.
I'm anything but a street racer, but as my car gets through its break in period, I was wondering "comparatively" how it stacks up to other cars, and figured there might be posts about others who have run into Mustangs, 350z's, those sorts of cars late at night on the open road.
Again, I dont condone it, but if there is a spot where others have shared these things, I wanted to read them.
Thx.

Seriously though - thanks for the information. I'll look elsewhere for my needs for E60 machismo!

Well there was this thread about it, but it was eventually closed. You can probably still find some good info on it though.

From the cars you mentioned, the 550 will easily take the 350z/g35. The Mustang GT was pretty much a driver's race with a 545 so you might have the edge against that car.
There were some videos of some 545/550s against a 335i. Against the 545i, it looks to be a driver's race depending on the jump, but the 335 has the edge from 100+. From my experience, I'd say that a 550 will pull on a 335 a bit.

I had an '04 G35 coupe 6MT for awhile, and already feel like this is a faster car. Might not handle as well in the turns, but for a 4 door, its f-f-f-f-fast.

I am sure that the support of such illegal driving would bring attention of the law and trip and fall lawyers.

We prefer to be known as "ambulance chasers".
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this regard.
