The offer is still on the table for you to wave the starting flag in a bikini for us if you'd like. I got to admit, you really make me laugh. I got to give you that. :p

The other problem is that you insulted myself and all AMG owners repeatedly when this first started, and that, along with your repeated lies, evasions, and general acting like a jerk, have earned you the number one spot on my **** list.
Oh, and you now claim that you can beat a Z06 from 20-120? I'd *love* to see that, and it would be *very* easy to arrange via the ls1 forums; unlike the CL55, which is a very rare bird, there are *tons* of Z06's out there. Would you care to add a Z06 to the mix there, Jethro? Let me know the where and when, I'll get one there for you!
In fact, regardless of what you think, I'm going to go ahead and let the fine Z06 drivers of Florida know that there's an M5 there who can take them in a 20-120 race.
This should be fun...

The video can be from inside the Z06, so you can't say that he let me win or who knows what you may come up with. You know my mods and you still think my car is slow. Don't worry, there is no juice, turbo, or blower. Its basically all airflow mods and pullies.

Oh, and you haven't changed out your rearend gear, have you? Because SGC should take a quick ride with you to check this...

Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

The post where the CL55 agreed to meet you at Moroso was post # 308:

He will not race on the street. Lets all go to Moroso on the 5th regardless.

I am ready to run and stop the all of this nonesense. According to Improviz, you shouldn't be worried at all. The CL55 will pull about 7 cars on me, right?? One more thing, even Benzo agreed with me on the phone that the E55 is clearly faster than the CL55.

So, pretty much as soon as Steve ran his 12.00, you backed out of your promises to go to Moroso, and even when we arranged for a CL55 to be there, you still refused to honor your word and go--and have done so ever since.
The bottom line is this: after all of your **** talking, we found the CL55. It's YOU who refused to race it. Remember that. I'm outta here...
