The E500 is a boat, it's significantly slower than an IS350

random fact of the day , they were selling new decently equipped e500 for just about 50k in 2004, 4 year maintenance included (which btw, is a steal as it's really expensive at mb dealers, think 2k for 30k service).. b4 the dollar took a tank on the euro. that's only a little more than a loaded is350.

does it matter?

tell him he has a five (going on six) year-old car.

tell him you have more horsepower AND get better gas mileage than his e500.

tell him your car isn't an off-road vehicle - that it's on the road much more often than it's at the service center (the same can't be said for his e500).

tell him you drive a nice sports sedan, and that he drives a german boat.

(shall i go on?)

if all else fails, take it to a drag strip.

you will beat a e500. e550 would be drivers race. e55 would be lose/lose situation.
