W208 430 vs. 2004 mustang GT

i raced a 2004 mustang GT stick shift earlier this evening. I had 2 passengers in my CLK430 and lined up against the GT at a stoplight. As soon as the light turned green, I stomped on it.... I heard the GT peel out for a second or two, but I stayed ahead of it in 1st and 2nd gear. When my car shifted into 3rd, I started pulling on it a lot. During the shift to 4th, I was already 5-6 cars ahead of the GT. I HATE those damn mustangs. SO fricking loud w/ their flowmasters, but slow as hell. =)

The GT's yes, but you'll get spanked by an SVT unless you're in an e, sl, or cl 55

Some kind of late model Mustang, not sure which. I raced one of those 'Stangs in an E320 W124 sedan. I was dead even with him. He never pulled on me, and I never pulled on him. I could hear his engine growling like crazy, and the six-cylinder M104 in the car I was driving was echoing off nearby buildings(what a sound the straight six makes at 6400 rpm). It was a full-throttle race that I won after the 'Stang's driver ran out of *****(at about 55 mph).
