Kleemann CLK55 vs. Shelby GT500

Was on my way home from a meet where a single turbo supra was supposed to run a C6 vette (never happened, just alot of talk) and I see two cars approaching quick in the rear view. I realized they were mustang lights, ehh no big deal right? So I speed up a little and pull into the right lane (2 lanes in local lanes on the highway here). He pulls up next to me and its a Shelby GT500! It was a young kid driving with a couple girls in the car. I guess he thought he found a victim and wanted to show off in front of his gf so he floors it. He gets about a car on me and I floor it and catch him before we shut down because there were cars ahead. At this point the girl in his car is smiling over at me and he keeps yelling "HEY HEY". Now I know he's gonna go again so I'm ready. I hit it about half a second after he does and walk him He was pissed! Then his friend in the mustang GT finally catches up and switches to the emerency lane and passes us (we had already slowed down) Anyways, I was happy because he didnt know what hit him!

Yeah, I was confused when I saw one of those the other day. Pretty pathetic.

Shelby GT? Production version of the Hertz rental. I think 20 more horses than standard GT, 6 speed.

Nice kill!

I called you before that because I knew you were looking for competition and there was plenty out in rockville that night. Over 15 single turbo supra's, some other supras, that same trans am we saw the other night (he wanted to run the 750whp supra from a dig and he was spraying), turbo civics, a s/c 6.0L GTO , modded evo's, modded sti's, and the list goes on.


Thanks guys. I'm sure I'll see that kid again, I wanna see what he has to say Oh and it was definitely supercharged

Awesome kill. Beating up a young punk in a blown Rustang is top of the heap for me.

My brother driving my car:

Looks damn nice! paint looks like glass!!!! Question: Why are your frnt calipers mounted on the opposite side of the rotor? Or doesn't it matter? I always see them mounted on the other side

That is the orientation for the W208 CLK's. Even the stock Calipers are mounted like that.


Thanks guys!

Went to a local car meet to hang out and see if I could find some runs. A guy walked up to me and said do you own that benz? I said yea. He asked if I raced a Shelby not too long ago and I said yea. Then he says something along the lines of "I just wanted to shake your hand! I was in the mustang behing you guys and I was SO surprised! Your car is amazing!!!" That felt REAL good
Afterwards went out for some fun runs with Jason and his tuned CL600 (drivenagain) and a 412whp 3000 pound STI. Jason had a passenger that took a little bit of film (cant really tell much from the video though).
Me vs. STI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-2tOSZzUSg
We were pretty much dead even until I started pulling him at 120mph (you can see him brake boosting to spool up the turbo's at the start).
Jason vs. STI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBG7Lk1_Pkk
Jason raped him

On the way home some ******* in a Aston Vantage V8 flew by me doing 100+ and kicke dup rocks all over my car. I caught him and then he went WOT and staid in middle of the 2 lanes so I couldnt pass him Soon as I got a little room I returned the favor with the rocks. I flew by him doin 160+ and he was WOT . Too bad I didnt have a camcorder! It was funny to see his reaction when we got off the highway at a stop light. I'm scared to look at the front of my car I think I may need a respray
