Shutdown G35/CLK350 And Semi-Race with S500 in The Morn.

So this morning as I get to the Brooklyn Bridge exit right off the BQE. I see this Black 2003+ S500 that was admiring my sports package from the side. It was a guy in his mid 30's maybe 40's in a business suit. As we enter the brooklyn Bridge I see him try to merge to the left lane to get ahead, I switch to the furthest left lane he gets right behind me and im surprised he is close on my tail. I push it up to 40 mph, he is game. I rev up to 60 he is still on me lol. I push it to about 85 and he is just following me closley 85 during the whole brooklyn bridge and its tight little spaces and im right near the wall the whole time, basically I had to get off at the FDR so i shifted right and breaked and he zoomed by and went straight. Talk about S500 Competition lol. 85 mph on the brooklyn bridge

Later in the city I meet up with my friend who has a G35X and we raced practically the whole way from 23 and Lexington to Ocean Pkwy in brooklyn.

It was more about Skill here, since there was light traffic.

I took him on the FDR and shut him down right infront of the brooklyn bridge, I was first to merge into it.

Then After the Brooklyn Bridge back again on the BQE. I got so ahead, that I was just driving at 40 mph and waited for him in the middle lane for him to catch up, once I saw him I speed up again..

Finally we get on to the Prospect Express Way, Its what I been waiting for this whole time. He is straight ahead of me and as we're about to go a black clk350 enters right ahead of me. I wonder if he is game as he sees the G35 pass on the right and me on his tail, I push a lil and the CLK accelerates a bit were at about 65. I rev up and im like go, he undertsands and is game. he begins to speed up and sees the G35 as well trying to get ahead. So the CLK starts to speed up and does manuvers between cars, Im doing the same manuevers at the same time and fitting into the same tight spots. the G35 conintues doing the same, but it was behind. I see my opening and I go to the right and the CLK goes to the left . I instantly mash the pedal and merge into the middle lane and reach about 95 leaving both of them behind. I think they stayed at 70 or were scared to continue as I had at least 10 cars lenght on them right after and the road was clear at that point. The CLK tried to outmanuever and lose me but basically couldnt as I was right on him.

Well thats about it.

That's smack in the middle of the city. It is never empty - of either vehicular traffic or pedestrians



Now I really do hope your license gets taken away

LMFAO! You get a speeding ticket that you claim was unwarranted and you were crying about getting too many points on your license and having it suspended. Shortly after, you speed and race recklessly through traffic/

What kind of stupidity was that? Or is there another meaning to that word? Have you not learned anything from your speeding ticket thread?

Frankly I hope the only one that gets hurt being that stupid is you and not some innocent bystander.

This is why they take people's licenses away so often. People just don't stop until they lose the privilege to drive. Funny, my friend just went to jail for 3 days for going 100 in a 55 with 6 points already on his license; let me tell ya he drives like an "old lady" now...

I don't want to incriminate myself...so here is the totally legal version

I witnessed some random cars racing on the Tappan Zee bridge; they were on their way to Englishtown to get a few runs in. They were dipping in and out of lanes, screwing around. Finally, all 3 lanes of the bridge were open and the crew all came flying over the bridge at over 120mph. What they didn't realize was that about 1/4 of a mile ahead of them was bumper to bumper traffic. The car in the left lane slammed the brakes but couldn't make it in time and colided with the car. This resulted in a 14 car pile-up in which included the entire crew of cars, as well as some innocent bystanders (one of which was a father and his infant child). I was lucky enough to be the only one to get out of this disaster unharmed and without a scratch on my car, but the rest of them learned a valuable lesson....although rumor has it they did the same thing on the GW not too long ago....which is why I do not go near those dumbasses.

So yeah, next time your racing over a bridge in NY, keep in mind that theres a very good chance you'll run into traffic and crash.

ZOMG! An '02 S500?!?!?! ZOMG! That's the FASTEST, BESTEST, MOST BESTEST HANDLING SPORTS CAR EVA! EVA!

I mean, put some $20 Pep Boy TigerPaw tires on it and sheeeeit! You can extract ALL 302hp from that 4100lb frame to get it from 0-60 in a STAGGERING, STAGGERING 6.5seconds! ZOMG, not even a Veyron does 0-60 in 6.5s!

Those cars that are 300-400lbs lighter with only 280hp and 270hp don't stand a chance at ALL!
