Went at it w/ a CLK430

Finally got a chance to run one. It was a guy who looked to be in his late 30s, who didn't look like the type to bite. Well, he did. We were going up a slight uphill by the way. Light turns green, we both take off rather slowly and right around 10mph he hits it. He gets the first jump and I punch it immediately after that. By the top of 1st I'm about 1/2 - 1 car ahead of him. By the top of 2nd I was a good 3 cars ahead or so and the distance between us was continually getting longer. Once I hit the bottom of 3rd (around 72mph), I cut it, as did he. Real quick, short race. He ended up turning left, and I stuck my arm out the window and gave him a thumbs up. I'm happy

edit: I couldn't edit it so here is my edit. I was about 2.5-3 cars ahead. I can't be CERTAIN but it was around there.

I raced one in my Mustang from a 30mph roll, or so. I immediately put about a car length on him and very slowly pulled about another car length. I was expecting it to be a CLK500, but when he passed me I saw it was just a 430. They arent slow, thats for sure.

Yeah that's for sure. He stayed a lot better with me than I thought he would.
