Fake C32 in midtown NYC

i spotted a C32 while i was driving in the street alongside of me. When he saw my car was as a C32 he quickly slow down for some reason and i was able to really look at the car. i noticed he had a different exhaust pipe. I also saw that there is a sports badge under the V6 kompressor. Then i quickly glanced at the brakes and realized they were standard C class with fake AMG badges. He was so embarrassed when i was next to him, he rolled up his window.

lol, he was too embarrassed to even look at me. The funny thing is that, after few blocks of driving along with him, an E55 AMG was also waiting for the lights next to us. I'm sure he's so embarrassed when 2 Real AMG is next to him.

I would guess cause of the exhaust location and both the C32 and C230 have a single outlet but the C32 has dual tips inplace of his single tip...

I RACE THEM CONSTANTLY, Just to see who's going to get the butt whippin, me or them??? Sometimes its them and sometimes its me. I am still looking for that C55 (goldy/beige ) that I dusted on 53 NB and then gave me the one finger salute cause he got beat??? If it were the other way around, I would have saluted him Now that black E 55 near Woodfield, I salute you my friend.

Its really no fun taking out an non-AMG car, unless it was that yellow Carrera 2 Auto this weekend!!! Gotta run the M cars for the real thrill.
