C32 vs SLK55AMG

Right, driving from work to my house yesterday afternoon. I get on the highway and see this low 2door sportscar. When I get closer I see it's the SLK55. I close to about 2 carlengths to him. I manual shift to 3rd (I'm doing about 90km/h). He looks in in his mirror, and I can see he is ready for a race. The traffic gets out of the way, and he guns it. I'm on it also. We're up to about 180. I'm slowly catching him. I'm thinking to myself it must be the slipstream. Surely he must be faster than me with more power and less weight? Traffic again, we slow down to about 110. When he gun it again I pull over to the left lane next to him. We are dead even up to about 220. He then slow down to take the exit. We give each other the the thumbs up. Man I love my car!

Nice kill! Was his car new? Could it be that his motor was still green. Either way a win is a win, chalk one up for the C32!

Not really a kill as in winning, but keeping up with a SLK55 could be considered a kill. His car was new according to the number plate. I think the motor probably is still green. I know that with my own car, it really started to loosen up after 10000km. Has 27000km on the clock now.
