Ok now. Who did 150MPH+ with me last night?

I was on the 90W in Chicago going home. A grey CL55 took off in front of me. I went all the way up to 150MPH and had to slow down because i realized that i have a bent rim in the front. A blowout at 150 wouldnt have been pretty. Are you someone on the board?

I was in a black CL600 with a Renntech badge.

the lip is a lil bent and i can get them fixed

cant be spending $1500 everytime my wheel bends. thats a lot of money in chicago.

that car,,,,was very fast. i must admit that once it took off at about 100MPH, i wasnt able to catch it.

word thru the grapevine is that renntech isnt making that rim anymore, anything in front is hard to catch

Must have been late that damn construction & traffic is a pain, and the potholes, I like to put my foot down but no where to go.

I saw a black 600 on monday, close to the loop, it did not have any tint, I don't know if i am seeing more cl's in chicago, or what I saw a grey one today with a lorinser body kit.

Sure it wasn't a 65? There was a slate grey 65 for sale in the area a while back. It's hard for me to imagine that your 600 could not catch up with a CL55 (even a modified one).

Yes!
Damn man, did you take off the governor for the mph or did you max out your top speed? My car goes up to maybe 140 depending on how smooth the road is and how dangerous I feel like driving. But, then again I have an 02 with 367 bhp with no mods so I can't keep up with the 03 and up big dogs. Be careful on 294 N, the construction is dangerously dangerous

I have read somewhere that the car will hit 201MPH on the right tires with this mod. Im not about to find out on chicago freeways. There is only 2 streaches that i know of on the 90 where you can actually speed safer.
