Its terminally pathetic behavior and I wish someone would give them the memo.
Down the shore? Forget about it, these guys think they're pushing Enzo's.

Nice C55, BTW.

Yeah, you're right about the G35's.....I've also seen WAY more of them than 350Z's on the road.
Since I've never driven either, I still would have to go for the G........just because it looks better.

I thought it was only me... I guess there's other people who share the same observation in regards to g35 drivers. *They do think they drive Enzos or something*. Makes me respect 350Z's more than the G35s..
By the way, *i think* the 350Z is a seriously fun car to drive.

Actually, when tested, the C350 sport sedan clocked 5.5 to 60 while the CLK500 clocked 5.2 seconds. Not that big of a difference in numbers. Due to the larger motor, the CLK500 will pull harder throughout the powerband, but I doubt it will put numerous lengths on the C350 off the line.

I agree that with all things equal, a CLK500 should beat out a C350
