C55 puts down a Testarossa

Not much of a fight as it was an older car, but the guy wanted to run. We went three times on the freeway starting from about 65 and the C55 pummeled the old prancing horse. I don't care how old your exotic is, getting smacked by a Mercedes C-class must suck.

Got to love the look of dread on the exotic driver's face at speed. I added an "0" to my "C32" and debadged the "AMG" on the opposite side of the trunk lid for added pleasure.

Nice kill. Testarossas are not that fast by today's standards, but that V12 still has the magic sound and, IMHO (although many would disagree, given the garish sidestrakes), the TR is still a beautiful car. I have been looking for a run with a 355 or a 360. Almost had one the other day, but I had to exit the freeway.

You oldtimers will remember the vid of the forum member with a highly modded C32 (who also had a 360) pulling on the 360 with the C32.

I had always wanted a used Testarossa (because of its look, not its performance), then I read that Chevrolet would sell the 2006 Z06 for $65k. I changed my mind

LOL! 80s vs. 21st century.

Newer, 512Ms put down 370 RWHP on our dynojet. Early one could barely touch 300s.

I read everything on the Testarossa is super heavy (steering wheel, gearbox, clutch), it must be a lot more difficult to bring it up to speed than with the C55.
