CLS55(K1 Mod) vs 911 Turbo

Headed home last night after a movie and this 911 Turbo turns onto the Fwy and spots me waiting in the opposite turn lane and slows almost to a stop to point me out to his passenger. He proceeds up the on-ramp as I get the green light and figure I'll at least catch up to see what's what. Of course he punched it right as he got on so it took a few miles of negotiating traffic to get up to him as he was now just cruising in the #1 lane at around 70. Things cleared up a bit so I zipped past him and merged back in his lane ahead of him (the ultimate "do you want some" move). By the time I checked surrounding traffic he was on the gas passing me in the lane to the right of me. I put the pedal to the floor and had to switch 3 lanes to get a clear shot along side of him.Being he got the jump on me I caught up and we were even for a sec and I was slowly pulling away up until 135 when I let off with around a 3 car lead.

Being that I have had two porsche turbos, I have much respect for them and had no clue of his mods if any or how this would turn out. By the result I'm pretty sure he was stock and he did have a passenger. But once again I am pleased to get another kill with a heavy 4 door sedan that drives like a dream in traffic and has been murdering some of the fastest cars out.

It's only a coupe to us CLS owners that have given in to Benz trying to redefine the term. To others it's still a sedan. I actually love rubbing it in that they were beaten by a 4 door. And to be honest try saying 4 door coupe to anyone and they look at you funny. I'd rather just say sedan than sit there and explain that since Benz calls it a coupe it really is one.

Awesome kill, I know the "do you want some" move very well, works like a charm everytime.
