Cat & mouse with new maxima

Just had a great cat and mouse race with a new maxima . Did 120 from queens all the way to long island . The maxima is pretty quick I have to admitt but can't pull as hard as the c at high speeds . All in all it was fun and came out with respect for the maximas performance .

A nice respectful game of cat and mouse is fun but sometimes it gets too personal.

120 mph is no game though.

yea I've played with a couple of them. They really don't seem to pull hard to me neither. Had trouble switching lanes, the guy told me it feels really heavy. Still a good car.

Yeah I guess some people don't know how to push their cars to the limit.

Lol yeah, but then again there is no disputing that a heavy FF car with that much HP will feel like the steering wheel has a mind and plan of its own.

good deal man...when I bought this car I knew it was quick...I'll tell you a little story that happened to me the other night...was driving down the road and had a Ford Lightning beside me...looked stock...I could here the whine of the supercharger when we took off so I know it wasn't a clone of an F150...anyways, my background is mainly drag racing, not road racing...so I'm more geared to going straight as fast I can instead of through twisties...

anyways, me and Lightning hit it off from 40-110 and he only put a fender on me...for those that don't know that's about 4-5 feet...I was very impressed with my C350...

I've had Mustangs and Camaros and I can tell you a big difference between those cars and my MB...when I let out at 110 it was still pulling hard...the other cars don't keep pulling and keep pulling...they gradually fade out...my MB was having none of that...

the Lightning owner slowed down when I did and gave me a thumbs up and we went our separate ways...was a good night

I had a little fun of my own with a maxima not to long ago, the maxima owner was not a happy camper after I took him at a light, our w204's arnt the fastest but I will say the pull pretty good.

btw hows the interior looking stitches?

I haven't done much to it since I posted the last pictures of it. I found perforated suede through one of my suppliers. That same supplier also has solid suede. The color is alittle darker which is better because it'll contrast a little more. But I'm gonna have to change the suede that's on the door now. So it'll come off and get replaced with the new suede the same color as the perforated suede that's going in the seat inserts.

On a side note, I'm thinking about wrapping the car in matte green and blacking all the chrome out. I was looking at adding tint to the services we have at the shop and found the wrap through that avenue. So I might start wrapping vehicles now too. We'll see how my car turns out and go from there
