jesus christ what stupidity. I don't know about other states... but here in CA they will confiscate your car for street racing. Imagine getting your $100,000 car confiscated just so you can make some internet video with smileys.

Yeah AMG is the fastest production car on the road right now. Still the Ford put up a good fight the second time around. 35k vs. 100k.
That was a good one though

Incredible car, for sure (just wish Merc would offer a dam manual transmission! especially in cars like these)
but for 100k+ I cant say you have much to brag about after beating a 40k car.

wow, that was alot of hype for a boring drag race, just how long it took for 2 little drags. the mercedez is fast, nothing impressive. the guy in the corba wasnt pushing it as good as he could, the second run was nice tho. my dad has a 98 cobra that woulda leave both of those cars in the dust, done alot of work to it, ill post pics next time im on the other computer.

well, im pretty impressed with his car, and i live with him and if i had a nice car to brag about myself i would (except my tsx, but i dont brag to other tsxers). never been a mercedez or BMW fan either, i think they are nice because they cost 10 times more that anything else, they better be good.
someone tell me how to post a picture.
