6MT TL vs. CLK 430
I was well above the posted speed limit on the highway when this CLK 430 comes right up on my ass. So I say what the hell and downshift to 4th, he cannot hang with me for some reason. Shouldnt this car handle the TL? I started to jam on my breaks becuase there is a famous place for cops to sit, unfortunately there was none sitting there this time. He whizzed past me doing about 120

MB CLK 430 Stats below and weighs 3745lbs:
4.3L 275 hp V8 Horsepower 275 @ 5750 RPM Torque (lb-ft) 295 @ 3000 RPM
That torque number is kinda good for such a small car.... he should have been able to keep up with ya, maybe he just wasn't up for a race.
