Thumbs up Red c36 and black c43 in Jericho Turnpike encounter

I was in my red c36 in Jericho Turnpike about a week ago when I ran into a black c43. I was surprised on the run! I picked up my Benz a couple weeks ago had a great deal. I didn't know it was this fast! Anyone on this forum?

Are you talking about on Long Island? Did you buy the red one from Great Neck that was for sale?

I don't remember seeing you on the street, I would have certainly remembered a C36 if I saw one on the road so it probably wasn't me especially if you raced with them. I actually test drove your car at the dealership haha. Was a nice car the engine looked extremely clean from what I remembered, just a few minor paint defects. But congrats on the purchase, PM me and we'll meet up sometime.

Going by my Beltimer when comparing the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times the c36 is a little quicker then my 03 350Z! But the Z is so much tighter.
