2000 S500 vs. 2003 E500

it was 1:50am in the night we were out at a friends house towards the city. we had just finished watching a movie (2fast2furious)lol... anway he comes up to me says you wannna race..im like when hes like now and i said lets do it. there were 6 other guys with us. if you live in stl youv probably heard of highway 170 its only about like 20 or 30miles long i think. i choose this highway cuz i knew the where to slow down and where to speedup. he also new the hot spots as well. so it was a fair race. we each have radars to keep ourselves covered. we sent the other guys to check out the road ahead and make sure for no cops and makesure it was clear (no one in stl is really out on the street. passed 12:30) we both lined up at the beganning of the highway.( i should mention i took out the spare tire and did the ecu reset and i emptied out my tank untill i was just alil above the reserve). 3 2 1 go.. as soon as the hand went down e class floored it and lost traction for about 2 secs. i took a rolling start to keep traction and then after i hit 10mph i floored it. i used shiftronic which surprizinngly does help a little. i had about a 5ft advantage over him. we just floored it for 20secs approximatly straight. i didnt let go of the pedal and niether did he i hit 130 before letting go( i wasnt sure if i could safely slow the car down for the turn) i was able to maintain a 85mph curve to the right with out loosing traction. on the other hand the e class looked like it was hydroplanning. he was sliding allot more then i was for some odd reason........ in the middle of the race he started closing in on me and gained the lead for about 2miles..... towords the the final stretch(not the end of the highway just to the point where we decided to stop and also a place for me to get gas lol) i was at 120mph(on cruise..lol) and the e is about the same but about 2 car lengths infront of me ..he sees the the bridge upahead and looks in the rearview mirror an thinks that im slowing down cuz im not gonna win but then i take it off cruise and turn off my headlights so its difficult for him to see me and i floor it and i get perfectly parrallel and i see him looking in his mirrors for me and then i turn my headlights and before he knows wats happening im ahead of him by about 5ft to 8ft this is where we both hit 135mph or plus. im not sure at what speed my my car was capped off at because i was more focused on the road but if it wasnt 135mph it was somewhere around there the last reading i checked it on was 127 exactly. i remember going under the bridge and look at my left side and all i could see was the front his bumper. sweetness sweetness!!!! he wont give me the video cuz hes embarrased...lol
