CLK 320 (2001) and 2015 GTR
Angry VIRGINIA RESIDENTS

I CALL IT.... B U L L S H I T
I MEAN ITS NOT FAIR AT ALL.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I HATE TO BE THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS, BUT AS OF JULY 1 THE $3500 SPEEDING FINE IS BACK IN VIRGINIA (CODE 46.2-206.1).. THE SHORT VERSION IS, SAID SUIT WAS INTRODUCED AND WRITTEN INTO LEGISLATION TO RAISE MONEY FOR VA, IT INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO SPEEDING 15MPH OVER SPEEDING LIMIT RESULTING IN $3500 FINE.

SO BE CAREFULL

Where did you hear this? So far the only thing I've found that's been close is SB 103 which doesn't bring the fines back, only amends the text of 46.2-206 regarding disposition of fees.

http://leg6.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp...?101+ful+SB103

2010 session, Senate Committee on Transportation
http://leg6.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp...1+doc+S1110204

I checked the 2009 docket and didn't see anything either. 46.2-206.1 was repealed was the first order of business in 2008 after being struck down by the courts and I seriously doubt that it's coming back in any form.

Yup. With the amount of anger that bill generated, there's no way that they'd attempt to pass something similar again.

While writing that little piece of legislation...I curious how they decided that the fines imposed were in any way, shape, or form reasonable.

Not to hijack this thread but lowphat I saw you cruising this Saturday afternoon. I was driving with my girl and saw you as you merged off of I-66 onto US-50 west. Was heading out on 50 West myself. Not to sound stalkerish but all I did was do a search in the CLK 208 forum for "kleeman" and saw a thread with photos of your car.

Sweet ride. Not sure if you noticed me but I was in the Silver C55. You have the full-blown Kleeman package? I even commented to my girlfriend that your car was either really fast, or you just had all the decals to look like it was really fast!

I remember seeing your car - I gave a thumbs up before exiting on to West Ox but tints probably made it all invisible. Your car looked sweet - I had my 12 and 15 year old girls in the car and they both spotted your car before I did - they're trained by the best.....

I'm no poser - Kleemann blower resides under the hood

See you at a meet sometime.

Glad to see a fellow MBWorld member repping in Northern VA. Hopefully will see you again on the road soon. Would love to take a closer look at your set-up - it looks completely OEM.

Just curious but from preliminary research the Kleeman supercharger gives you 430 Hp and 393 lbs of torque? Please correct me if I am wrong.
