I've raced my 430 plenty, so let me share this with you-
'99+ Mustang GTs: You're screwed if it's a stick and they know how to drive- if it's an auto, especially an auto 'vert, you'll definitely win.

BoxsterS? Mustang GT (i assume it's 4.6liter)? 540i?
BoxsterS is a 5.9 sec with manual 6.5 sec with auto to 62 mph. 540i is 6.0 sec with manual and 6.1 with auto to 62 mph
and the Mustang GT is a 5.6 sec car from 0-60 mph
CLK320 is a 6.9 second car to 62 mph not a 5.9 second car.
problems with Don'ts:
190E 2.3?
you are not talking about the 190E 16valve Evo are you?
problems with special DOs:
S and CL 55 are 6.0 sec and 5.7 sec cars. a full second faster than the CLK320. they will leave the CLK320 in smoke
No problems with special Don'ts:
now you got it.
S63 is a 5.7 sec car to 62mph and CL63 is a 5.5 sec car to 62mph.please add CLK55, C32, E55, and SLK32 to your special Don't list

I've raced Porsche Boxster and BMW 330ci before, all three cars were very close, no more than a car length apart. I've also smoked a nonturbo Supra, and lost to Acura Type-R. And of course to Mach430's Kleemann.

guys.... these are only out of experience. I agree with the fact and figures but trust me when i say they're not always acurate. In this part of the world, our cars are different specs and the figures are more impressive.
i'm pretty sure the unlikely losers were lowzy drivers. For example, the boxterS was driven by the porsche agents son and he's 130 kg!!!! We were nose to nose up to 140 kmh! I couldnt believe it either.
Trust me guys... the list are'nt hoax, they're just my experiences!! I dont like Bullsh**ing people.
the special list was made up as a joke!! but the others are to the best of my memory true. The mustang GT was a total surprise. The lumina SS was too!! The 540 smoked my *** when we passed the 140 kmh zone, he game from behind and wooooshed by!!!
