So I was merging on the highway when I notice a black benz on my rear. I accelerate slowly out of gear, and he stays tailgating me. Looked like it was possibly an AMG, and he wanted to instigate a run, so I downshift to 2nd at 50 mph to see if he could hang. I start pulling away from him, but I see he was getting on it trying to catch me. At this time, Im a little confident I had more power than him, but I wanted to see what he was driving and see if I could get a clean run. So he catches up and gets in front of me. I notice it was a CL55 AMG after all. Anyway, I thought I could honk it off, but he suddenly floors it to take off on me. I give him the jump at about 70, but I was in 3rd gear waiting for his move. He gets about a 1.5 car head start, but I caught him and was about to overtake him before the end of 3rd. Shift to 4th at 110 mph, and begin to walk away from him. I take it to 150 mph, but then shut it down with him several lengths back. I slowed down hoping to give him a thumbs up, but he wouldnt get next to me again. Oh well, it was fun. Thanks for reading. Haven't had a Benz run in in a while.

Nice kill. Good showing of sportsmanship (or whatever) by ya.

Your Vette according to your sig is nearly full bolton so nice mods. The LS2 V8 let alone the LS3 V8 responds well to mods.

Never got to say thanks. Yea, the LSx motors really open up on the C6 after a set of headers and a good tune. You can sense the motor breathing much better in the high RPMs (also sounds much better). It's almost like they were designed to be swapped.

It's been slow here in the MB Kill forum....
