Talking clk55 v. sti

on my way 2 school 2day i saw a blue sti driving at about 70-75 on the freeway. i pulled next to him and slowly pulled away. he changed lanes and got behind me. game on.

i slowly pulled away just to make sure. i slowed to about 70-75, tapped the brake 3 times (countdown) and floored it. i pulled about 2 car lengths (he had a slow reaction) and then up to about 115 i was slowly pulling on him, after 115 i started pulling on him much faster. by 130-135 i was at least 12 car lengths ahead. :v

we came up on traffic and i slowed down. he did the ricer fly by and started weaving in and out of traffic, i was half asleep and didn't feel like kicking his *** in traffic weaving (which i know i can do).

Stock STis have around 235 AWHP (DD dyno), aerodynamics equivalent to EVO, and topend gears not for autobahn use. You will definitely kill it from a roll. Moded STis (without modding turbo and engine);full exhaust and computer remap, will land around 270 AWHP on a DD or Mustang dyno. But the gearing still kills it. My EVO has more horsepower than my CLK55 and my 55 still kills it at the topend. From the stop will be a different result.
