Yeah, I would definitely love to. I'll see if I can start one up sometime next month. Thing is I don't even know my own schedule, so that doesn't help either.
@Freefall, in Rochester.
What's with the comparison with the GTR? The CLS and GTR are two different types of cars :P Let's compare the CLS to other cars in it's class
I got "beat" by an A7 the other day. There were these 2 older gentleman in an Audi A7 3.0, and I didn't think they wanted a race. My car also had 3 co-workers, so I didn't want to do anything stupid. Sure enough, they took off at a light and a cop saw this, and pulled the A7 over. My co-workers and I got a great laugh out of it.

That car will school us.....

. IMO, cop shouldn't pull people over as long as they are not breaking the speed limitHopefully MB will use DCT for all future cars. That will put them closer to GTR and Panamera.

Thats a great story BTW...The GTR is compared with everything and they're almost a time a dozen out here in So Cal already. The car is just ridiculous and even has 4 seats like us. *sshole like me want to mod the CLS out to run with these meth freaks so we compare...but there is no comparison overall when it comes to a GTR vs a new CLS AMG TT...

The GTR's launch control is pretty insane. I thought it was definitely stupid at first - Nissan would void your warranty if you used launch control. Why include that feature if it voids your warranty?! But, now they have removed that restriction. They're good drag cars, but I'd take a CLS over it any day!
Sorry, Hyp - totally OT
I'll try to arrange a Watkins Glen meet or something. The MB club here also doesn't do much. It's no fun! 
@otakki - yeah. I was so surprised when they floored the car at the light. I'm glad he was the one getting pulled over and not me. So far, I've been lucky and managed to stay out of tickets with the CLS.
