Jules, that E550 coupe is a sexy car. I'm pretty jealous lol.

A v8 may be added to my garage soon. Also might not be, but I might as well mention it.

I've owned so many V8s it's difficult to keep track... my current Twin Turbo V8 on the day I bought it (2 years ago). I've put almost 30K on it since then.

Sorry, it's dark in my garage. :)

Yes, my engine is dirty. I actually drive this car - a lot.

Twin turbo started with the F10 cars.

I've been debating getting a truck for utility purposes, but most trucks do nothing for me. But these 2...just maybe?

So we are planning to look at a 2011 Lincoln Towncar this weekend ... Woman needs a car and the Towncar looks comfortable as hell, would be great road trip car me thinks or would be good grocery getter for her.

Also I am psyched because then I can drive around asking people if they happen to have any grey Poupon.

I know the Air suspension tend to fail, Brother can replace the bags or put springs, and should be able to handle replacing the compressor if/when thats needed. Otherwise, I know car is heavy, gets shit mpg, and really doesnt have much power at all (They claim 239hp from a 4.6L v8)

But, for 12K, seems like a hell of a lot of car for the $$$.

'16 Mustang GT Performance Pack

I wonder how that would stack up against my E550 Coupe. A guy on the MB Forums ran a 12.44 second 1/4 mile at 112mph on a fairly warm day at 2100' elevation with his E550 Coupe and my car will run 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds which is on par with the '16 Mustang GT.

I'm sure my car is a bit heavier but it is pretty conservatively rated as far as hp goes. Mercedes rates it at 402hp but that's about what it puts out at the wheels.
