Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.
We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.
We hope you will become an active contributor to the community!
Sincerely,
500Eboard Management

Unfortunately, not anymore with the 500E. When the track-bug bit, it bit hard, so I stepped up to a '93 3rd gen RX7, even rarer than our 036, but the performance level is off-the-charts. esp. modified! Weird that all my performance cars are from 1993!
BTW: I may not hang with a 997 GT3 down the straights (give me a bigger single turbo), but I'll catch you in the corners . . .

That looked a bit loose at 5:20.
Neil was going quite fast in the video, probably much faster than most would expect.
Banked ovals are a bit different for those who have never run on them. We used to race at Pocono and the first time I had to back off the throttle at full tilt on the banking was fascinating! I was leading the race and a back marker did something stupid in front of me. I think I lost at least four places on that move...
