Cts V

Late night southbound on the 73, a CTS with new plates and v symbols came up fast and paced me at 75-80. Ran it up slowly to 85 and let him jump and go. He pulled about 10 lengths, but I held the beast back, CHP has a nasty habit of lurking with radar over the next hill.

After clearing the hill, V-1 says its clear. Ok to play, so I let the beast slowly reel him in, and pace him at 80 again. This time he punched it, and so did I, with a decidedly different result. He appeared to stand still as I pulled away up to 125. As we met some slower traffic, I slowed to 80 again...but he laid back in the pack and wouldn't come out to play anymore. A fun run.

I'll bet you that he had no idea that an ML500 was that fast.

Nice kill

Doubt I would have beat him in the 500, the gearing at that speed is too low. I was in the E 55.

He probably had a big ego...

from devastating some Acura TL's and maybe even an E320.

He was way out of his league messing with the beast, and now he knows.

Good job. He needed to get his Nutz Kutt.

Guys like that want to run with the big dogs but they pee like puppies.
