The 420 and 430 put out the same horses ut the 430 puts out more torque, kinda like the gs400 and 430. Yes, this car will give you the of your life.

You have a large chance of getting spnaked in the higher speeds! Off the line you will take him, but once you hit fourth, you're toast. I raced a 2001 S430 off the line and I kept neck to neck, then I can see him pull away at about 60 mph, but we had to quit. Good luck and let us know!

E420/E430 are fast.... and should be neck to neck up to about 40mph, where they will just jump on TL-P, and keep pulling.....

I hate to tell you but you are about to get destroyed. My buddy has an ML430 truck that I drive all the time and I could be wrong but I could swear that thing could tear my TL a new a**. The reason I mention it is because that truck has the same 4.3L V8 as the E and S class sedan, is AWD running 275/70/17s all around, and still pulls harder than my TL both off the line and on the freeway. You'd think that the AWD would slow it down but no, believe me it doesn't. I would gather that if you were about to race an E class sedan, you'd really be in for an a** whoopin. Those 420s and 430s are no joke.

he never showed, maybe it was for the best, but i still raced a lude, him and some other lude raced before me, i dont know if he's the one who won, b/c they were the same color car, either way i lined up with one of em, we started bout the same, both power slidin, but he hooked up before me n he just kept on pullin...oh well...but man, there was this RX-7 n 5.0stang goin at it, they both couldn't get traction of the line, so we all had to push the cars as they launched...have you noticed burnt rubber kind of smells like dead fish?

E420/E430 does 0-60 in mid 6's, somethings even better, and 1/4 in high 14's/low 15's....
Hm... as for E420 killed Cobras and Lightnings.... unless it's a early 90's Cobra.... late 90's and '02 Cobras should have no problem leaving E420 in dusts..... Lightning trucks.... hm... don't even try unless you have an E55 AMG...
