CLS6 -vs- SLK320 on rte 287 (NJ)

After spending the day with the wife's family, we were heading home when I saw a nice SLK320 in the distance. Finally got up to him (no worries since no one else was around) and sync'd speeds. He looked over, gave 'the look', and I threw it into fourth. The race got on and I had about one and a half lenghts on him real soon. I could see his face as he tried to push his car harder (NICE!!!). We could see that we were gaining on a pack of cars in front of us and we slowed down, sync'd speeds again, and exchanged the thumbs up's to each other.

It's the little burns like this that make this car worth it's weight in gold!!!

Made my whole week... The look on his face when I got the rev's up into the upper end was priceless...

Very cool....the great thing about the CL-S 6 Speed is that there are not many people out there that know the power it has, so they don't think you would ever be able to keep up with them, let alone beat them

The best part!!! Definitely the most Autobahn-like road in NJ.

Absolutely!!!! Nice wide sweeping turns.. Could easily benchmark the car in that whole area (not that I would....)
