Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.

We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site.

This shop has been churning out a lot of very pretty photographs, but zero details on the technical aspect. And no road tests / performance data / videos at the dragstrip to back up the implied (yet unproven and undemonstrated) amazing performance.

It is basically a hearse...
There's plenty of content and articles on our builds out there if you look for it. I'm too busy building cars to be a content creator. Drivability is my main focus, I care less about drag strip times and more about driving coast to coast comfortably and reliably and swiftly. Happy to answer technical questions if you have them.This shop has been churning out a lot of very pretty photographs, but zero details on the technical aspect.

Driving coast to coast comfortably and reliably and swiftly with newer, more refined powertrains can be accomplished with a nice M112 or M113 (non-AMG). Drivability should be at least equal with how the Mercedes performed when stock / unmodified, without having to focus on it.
When a 500+hp AMG motor is installed, there's an expectation that the vehicle will produce the full power and performance from the 500+hp powerplant (at least in a straight line). There's no need to be a ContentCreator™ to prove this. Dragstrip data is the most accurate, but good results are also available from any of the current dataloggers which can overlap performance data on your full-throttle video.
