This is an E-Class, after all, andit comes with the requisite luxury touches -- high-quality materials,soft-touch plastics, and most importantly, extensive sound deadening -- thatcompletely skew the perception of speed by eliminating pesky things like windand road noise. "Go Directly to Jail" velocities come surprisinglyeasily and with no warning, especially with your foot planted firmly on theaccelerator. Imagine, if you will, a gas pedal attached to a string, and on theother end of that string are a bull's nether regions. Be gentle and there willbe no trouble; be aggressive and there goes the china shop -- and your license.Usually, staring at the speedometer is a bad idea. In the E63, it's almost anecessity.
