clk55K? on i95 NB yesterday
So yesterday I was bringing the gf up to West Palm airport in FL, about 12 in the afternoon minding my own buisness at about 100 in the left lane. All of a sudden in my sideview I see a silver w209 racing up on my left, and then the guy pulls up and is pacing me, I noticed the AMG kit and i figured it was a 500, but then on the front fender I noticed v8 KOMPRESSOR, wtf? I figured he was a fake so I punched it and so did he, and the guy took off like I was standing still at which point I saw it was a 55. Is this someone on the board? and if so did you really put a supercharger on it or are you a poser? BTW, he also had those ugly chrome tailight trim, if that helps any.

Hey my bad it was hard to understand what you were trying to say in your 1st post...

My previous question was directed at the members of this forum who would most likely be the one to perform such modification to their engine,and most likely creating the one of the fastest MBs. And I was the one that sounded "like an idiot"

Sorry I came off a little unclear in that first post, I was real out of it. I drive a stock 500, and since I rarely see silver 55s around and the 500 looks exactly alike, except for rims, exhaust , and spoiler.
