E500- The Beast unleashed

Coming up on the last light before my street, I stop behind an old Z car, who was neighboring a black E500. Both were in the front row, and as our light was about to turn green, the Z car couldn't hold his patience in. He creeped up, and I mean MAD creeping up, getting ready to jump the gun. Well, the driver in the E500 didn't like that too much, and as soon as the light turned green, the black hood of the Merc lifted the car's front suspension about 2-3 inches, the rear looked tucked for a second there, but I could not take my eyes off of the beastly spectacle. I've never seen one of those in action before, and its launch looked the same as a muscle car type of launch. I want one.

the 600 cars and the 55 AMGs are all faster than the vanquish. so no i dont think a vanquish launching is going to be much more impressive.
