Raced a Benz
Well this has got to be one of the funnest races I've been in. and to be honest i still can't figure out how i won.
Was flying down the freeway at around 11pm on a thursday night. It's a streach of I35 in MN thats really stright for a long ways.
Well i'm buzzin down the road not really paying attention to anything goofing with the radio when a few cars ahead of me i see blue lights kinda blew it off thinkin it's a caddy or something like that.
Well as i get closer i see the benz logo on the back of it then as i get even closer i notice it's a 2 door dual exhuast car. I looked at it as a drove up on it he had his cruise set at 70 and mind was 74.
Well as i get next to him i notice the guy driving it is young i would guess 29 which suprised me. Well i keep inching past him then he looks over we make eye contact then i get to where my tail is at his nose and he can tell what type of car i am (tt) so then he steps on it and gets nose to nose with me. I smile to my self as i step on it as well and he does the same and he starts to pull on me pretty good *was still in 6th* when his tail was almost at my nose i stuck it in 5th which kept him from pulling so fast then i dropped it into 4th and gave it everything that motor had caught back up to him and was able to put one car on him befor we hit traffic. both lanes had cars we we ended up neck and neck again i looked over to give him a thumbs up was a fun and close race he was looking straight forwarc and looked really pissedoff. haha he went back set his cruise at 70 and mine at 75.
the car looked to be a Mercedes-Benz CL which is a 305HP car auto tranny.
kinda suprsied i pulled on him he had a lot more HP then i did.

Good race.
CL's are pretty slow.... actully for the most part...most mercedes benz are slow in comparrison to the productions of BMW's and Audi's.
They are ment to be driven more like boats,...be smooth....and comforable.
When bmw's are built to be the ultimate driving machine while providing luxary.
Audi I think is in suit to be a mixture between the too.
However if you mess with a Mercedes Benz with an AMG engine and tranny....prepare to watch his tail lights.... those cars are amazing machines.
I have my eyes on a SLK55 AMG.
