5.5L V12 - 493hp/590ft-lbs vs. FD

http://www.mbusa.com/brand/models/CL600C.jsp

It was Black Opal Metallic...blingin' fat lipped rims, and limo tint.
Curb Weight 4473

I was toying with a turbo MKIII, when this monster comes from behind me...looked like an ATL rapper (the Falcons are in San Antonio).

I gave him a good chase down, so he knew it was on...after a little 4th gear burst, he rolls down his window and was all smiles. I start taunting him, for fun...crackin' a whip from the RFL.

We picked up the pace a little, and as soon as traffic clears and the long sweeping curve ends, we take off ~85mph...I start pulling away, shift ~7k and run 5th for a second or two, full view of his car in the rear view.

I slow as he flys up on my driver side, he throws a peace sign out the sun roof, we have a few more spirited runs before I exit. Each of us wave with respect...but I knew he paid $130k for his ride

Three lights later I'm traveling downtown Atlanta, and the black MKIII pulld up to turn left and gives a wave goodbye...I totally forgot him


Before all this I had a 600RR rider shaking his head in disbelief after I walked him to 140...Girlfriend let out a scream as I shifted at 7.5K in 4th
