Is the CLS 63 TT slow?
Looks like he was travelling faster than the van at the end, but not fast enough to overtake before the van cut in. Very dangerous move by the mercedes driver.


can someone embed this video?

you see the cls for like 3 seconds and he's on the brakes most of the time. I don;t think you can really tell much from that video

im pretty sure if anyone was overtaking in their sports car, they would be flooring it. notice how that is not a legal place for overtaking. the start speed is around 50kph or 31mph.

the nissan driver reacted on the exhaust on the cls. one they heard the downshift, he floored it.

That was dangerous! Seriously a minivan vs. a CLS (nonetheless a 63 AMG)? You can see the CLS is trying to get traction and pulls away

not sure what the point of this is
  • was it stuiped yes
  • is the van faster no
  • did the cls have traction issues, more then likly, based on the dust on the ground and how he swerved, which would send the traction control into over time

Van driver was as much as a dick as the cls driver tbh

The CLS is not slow the driver just didn't see the van he was in his blind spot those guys didn't even nail it! You can't judge if any car is fast or slow with this video.
