Ap2 Vs Merc E350
So my friend and I were out doing a little photo shoot of both of our cars. On the way back we did three runs. The first two were from 20-90ish and i took him by half of car atleast the first time and the second time i had about two cars. Third time we did it from the dig and he had me by a good car length, since i suck at launching right now I've only owned the S for about three months and its my first stick shift car. This is the first time I've ever raced anyone and had a good turn out.
Thanks for reading my boring post
Edit: oh yea no mods to either of the cars.

please do not launch your s2000.
it's only a matter of time before your Differential blows.

I don't think any e350 could come anywhere close to that. I've had them as rentals a few times and I would think they are mid/high 14's at best.

You have an AP2, so your diff is stronger than an AP1 diff. It's fairly uncommon for the AP2's differential to fail. The key, for any car, is to do as little abuse as possible. When launching, be sure to include a little clutch slip (not a lot). This takes shock off your driveline.
E350s aren't too quick. I had one as a company car. Comfy but yaaaaaawn.

Yeah like he said above..... you cant just assume your differential is going to blow. Just be aware that they are somewhat weak and should not be abused too often. have fun
