03' CL 6-speed vs. S55 AMG

Yes, I did read the post about the E55, and how the CL got ate, but what the hell. I was on the highway, moving in and out of traffic on my way back to NY. I look in my rear view and see some crazy looking headlights moving with me. Eventually he caught up and we were just moving aroud traffic both a lil' aggresivly. Any he gets a lil' ahead and I see quad exhausts, and then the S55 badging, at this point I'm like oh boy1 I ake an arresive move around a car and pass him, still not really going though. then we both start going a lil' faster about 95mph. So I say screw it, down shift into 4th and try my luck. Got up to 120 and looked out my side window and watched him pull on me... HARD It was kinda crazy, after he passed a just tailed him by like 5 car lenghts, and could do nothing to gain on him. We just dipped in and out of traffic for a while doin 110. At the end we just gave the thumbs up and went our way. Getting killed is fun! When its by a $100,000 automobile. LOL!

not that a close match justifies the same as above.

an sl55 would eat me up by 2 cars from 20-70, which is a testament to how fast these damn amgs really are!

No, I know it was dangerous, and I do agree with anyone that said it wasn't a good idea. But i really wasn't a 'planed' race. Honestly I only did it cause I live in PA and go back home to NY every weekend, and when I find someone that is driving, it cuts that 2 hr drive alot. So wrong , do I condone it . Did it happen already

Honestly, not to sure. I would think the new one cause the headlights look really new, like a newer edition S-class. They seemed to be like 2 bulbs in one housing on at the same time, looked crazy.

Is it less fun when it's a car costing less than yours?

Nice death.
