BENZ vs FERRARI BENZ WINS!!!
Driving the South Florida Turnpike today I was passed by a new red Ferrari. I was going to work early and not driving fast, but HEY no one passes the BENZ! I promptly caught up with the driver doing 100 mph he slowed down (thought I was a trooper?), so I thought he was not interested in racing, I continued driving fast and he decided he wanted to play and passed me and the race was on for about 10 miles in and out of traffic. Although his car was superior his skills were lacking. We reached speeds of 130mph +/- 
and I smoked him good he never could catch me. 
Best part was a good race bad part got to work way too early on a Friday DUH!
My apologies to my fellow Floridians I'm sure it was an amazing sight in heavy traffic no harm intended!
p.s. STAY OUT OF THE FAST LANE (AUTOBAHN)!!!!
64.5 mph is NOT FAST!

Cool, what kind of Ferrari was it?
He prob just don't got the ***** to go faster...
I got friends with M5 and Porsches who has a self imposed speed limiter at around 110mph...

Unknown model
I don't know what model it was at those speeds but I could tell it was new. Hopefully I helped him break it in. Once through the last toll there is a staging area for trucks I pulled in to see if he wanted to talk but he continued on.

LOL I'll give em $50 bucks for his ride
LOL, yeah he was probably wondering how many Benz's he could have bought with all that money he spent on a Ferrari.
Thanks to the member that sent me the link a few weeks ago on how to do a brake job on an W210. I completed the brakes two weeks ago and without it I never would have been able to beat this guy in heavy traffic. But after jamming the brakes at those speeds I'll probably need new rotors and pads soon!
I noticed that my acceleration was lacking so I went to turbo mode (turned the AC off). This was not fun at those speeds fumbling for the fan speed button. In Auto mode does the climate control have a way of turning the AC off without the reducing the fan speed?
Also this boat really floats at 130 mph that was a bit freaky. I prefer to feel that I'm driving not flying (i.e. like the Ferrari low and tight). Are there any suspension packages that adress this issue?
