Don't take this as a dig against the Mercedes. If I could only have one car the E55 would be the one. It's easily the finest car I've ever owned. It just doesn't feel anywhere near as fast as my Lamborghini.
I am in agreement with your assesement big time on what will happen.

The "run" will likely take place later this week (Thursday) for the G owner is on vacation. Hopefully, I will have the video cam with and will try to post it.
