CLK 55 VS Porsche Turbo Cayenne !!

So there Iam leaving work just cruising along and I spy my partner ahead in his Turbo Cayenne.....Oh this should be good I say to my self as I gently apply preasure to the loud pedal..... He sees the silver bullet approaching a stands on it.....Im hanging on just giving him a peak of whats to come. We approach the on ramp from a stop sighn a short distance away but a big rig just gets in fron of us both......But wait whats this.....the rig pulls to the right shoulder as he gears up for the long straight uphill on ramp.....Thus leaving us wide open throttle down clear track........I see the black smoke explode out his pipes....Game on!!! im in manual 2nd I stand on it we are bumper to bumper no one pulling eather way. Then I hit 3rd and suck up to within about 3 nascar inchs from his bumper....Then I happens I have to LIFT!!! Im gonna hit him... cant pass yet so I burp it get a couple feet between us....By this time were about to enter the freeway I click off 4th put the pedal to the floor turn left and blow by him.....I couldnt belive it after months of hearing about all his power and I just lit him up like a school girl. Oh boy what a feeling.....Anyway just thought I would share my adventure and victory.

i know it was a joke, just trying act as though im innocent.

probation happens when some noob who comes to our beloved forum with the sole purpose of trying to rip off our fellow members, and you stand up to those people and tell them how you feel about the situation. then those same noobs go and run and cry to a moderator. then the moderator automatically jumps to protect some piece of garbage noob over your long post history, without even trying to figure out the situation. thats how one gets on probation.

got it? so basically dont ever stand up for your fellow genuine poster, and youll be alright.

Aren't those Turbo versions pushing 6000 lbs or something? I think Isaac Newton wrote the book on this a looong time ago.

Nice kill. In a road test here they tested a Cayenne Turbo - it was about 0.3 sec slower to 100kph.
