Guess what I saw today :)

Sooooo, today while enjoying my beautiful day off in Sunny South Florida I was headed down to the keys for the day. While on my little road trip I noticed a black CLS fly by my down on the turnpike, but it looked different and being those are the most amazing cars mercedes has ever made, I decided to catch up, so finally after geting to about 100-105 i was next to this car, and what do you know, it was a Brabus Rocket!!! i mean, obviously couldnt see engine to verify, but had full brabus lights, exhaust, body kit, and the V12 Biturbo badge, sounded mean too!! so naturally I honked, gave the guy a thumbs up, he smiled, and then he was gone, i mean gone. I mean soo fast that if I turned to the side to my friend and said hey, look at this car next to us, she would have thought I was crazy cause there was no car there!! I hope this pic works, best I could do at 100mph with my phone.

Did you get a look of the wheels? From the angle of your pic the wheels do not look like the Monoblock S on the Rocket. I may be wrong.
