Spotted: Black CLK55 on 95 South in the Bronx last night (Sat. July 2nd)

I spotted what looked like a brand new black CLK55 on 95 South in the Bronx last night (Sat. July 2nd) at about 9PM weaving in and out of traffic moving along at about 80-100mph in traffic that was moving at about 50mph.

was it anyone on here?

I was trying to keep up hahah, way too much traffic in my way.
nice moves man.

Wasn't me..mine's silver, but I do have to share my first M3 Kill story. This guy pulls up next to me in a black M3 with a hot chica w/ him in Manhattan. We get to a traffic light in (late at night, no traffic around)....starts revving his engine, so I know it's on. I flip off the ESP (better to smoke the tires than have the traction control kill embarass you), rev the engine to about 1500-2k rpms, and off we go.
I get a great start... no wheel spin (thank god), and I hit that accelerator perfectly. I heard him smoke his tires a bit, and i start pulling away. We get to about 55/60, i'm still getting more separation... He must have gotten real nervous 'cause next thing i hear is his shift and a second later the guy pulls off the throttle..... Chalk up another win for the Benz's...

...when will these M3 drivers learn? Don't they understand that if we wanted a poor man's AMG we would have gotten one & have had enough left over to buy a Mini Cooper
