CLK55 surprise!

Not a kill but had a crotch rocket scratching his head. Was on the freeway in nowhere land I see this crotch rocket pacing me. I gun it and he was right on my tail. I look at the speedometer and see I slow up and the guy in the bike gives me a look I know those bikes are monsters but he underestimated me.

I agree. It has to be a Ninja 250 or something that is similiar in CC. A Busa or Ninja ZX will anniliate you and 99% of all street cars.

Even though it was a slow bike. The power to lbs ratio makes them fast!

The look was probably more "what the hell are you thinking?" than anything else.

If you have never rode a crotchrocket then YOU are underestimating him cause, without downshifting it might take me a few second but once I hit the power bar you are done! Even if you did skip ahead during those few seconds. To top it off mines only a 750 and there are bikes out there way faster than mine. Its got to have been a 250, maybe a 500 cause even a 636 would would have showed you whats up.

Same thing happened to me after I had my car a little while....but my encounter was more accidental.

Came off a freeway exit and tried to merge onto a 3-lane divided highway. Mr. Slow-Poke minivan was in front, blocking me and I hit the gas....downshifted into first and I went around him and stayed on the throttle till around 60-65mph. I didn't even see the sportbike behind me.

When he caught up at the next light, he asked me to put down my window..."what have you got in that thing??" I said "stock V8" and he gave me the thumbs up. Keep in mind, this was in '02, before the 55K cars started hitting the street. Again, I just don't think they expect to see a Mercedes accelerate that quickly.

One of my friends in the marines has an R1. I took it round the block in Oceanside and didn't exceed 30mph through the fear of the thing. I'll stick to 4-wheels.

Had that car been still around it would've had a built bottom and a gt3071r on and about 400awhp, poor girl. But yes, S4 with slightly bigger turbos than k04s.
