Ran with a 911 Carrera
I reposted this in the correct forum...newbie mistake.
So it is my 2nd day of ownership in my '03 C32 and I am learning that this thing is addcting to drive fast. I'm on a divided express lane that has stop lights every mile or so and a 50 MPH limit. First light I find a new 911 with aftermarket HRE wheels that looks sweet in front of me. Next to him is a guy in a piece of crap Cavalier that is reving his engine and starring the 911 down!!! Well the 911 abliges with a few revs. Now I know that the 911 is faster than the c32, but something took over. I switched off the traction control and wait for the light to turn. The 911 launches hard and I punch it as well. Perfect amount of wheelspin and I'm right on his bumper hoping he doesn't let off!! I was amazed that I hung with him till he shifted into 2nd gear. Guessing around 50 MPH since I was to focused on not slamming into him. He pulled about 3-4 lengths on me till 80 when we shut it down. So at the next light I give him the thumbs up and he rolls down the window and says" Is that an AMG? Those things are pretty fast, they did a nice job on them". By the way, the Cavalier was about 1/4 mile behind us at this point....
This thing is going to cost me a fortune in gas, tires and tickets but the smiles per mile will be well worth it.

Well my first mod was rather minimal. I replaced the 3 point star with the flush mounted black AMG logo from formymercedes. The black logo looks sweet against the black hood. Next will be a rear c55 spoiler and some new rims to swap for the originals when I get snow tires in 6 months.
