F355 Spyder vs Kleemann E55k
Don't normally post here but just a little bit of something i wanted to share.
Yesterday took the E55k for a sunday leisurely
around santa monica and rodeo drive around 12noon. While on my way home i'm waiting for the light to turn green. So i was just sitting there being 
and listening to music and minding my own business. All of a sudden i hear this unmistakably sound of a F car that went on my left side lane with his top down, he got his shades going on like he was cool and stuff 
. Anyway while waiting for the light to change i don't know maybe he was just feeling cuz he keeps revving his car like he's about to take off at the formula one starting point or something. So i looked at him and then he looks at me and my car like i was 
He then nods and points his finger forward telling me to race and so me feeling i said why not? So the light turns green and i got a little bit 
and press the gas a bit hard and smoked a bit of rubber and he got a good launch at me but once my tires got a grip of the tarmac it was all over! The torque on the E55k 
him like a chopped steak! I was 1 car length ahead of him before we got to the next stop light. He then gave me this wtf look and made his right turn. And then i went on my merry way.

Good kill. I never post kill stories either, but had a similar story yesterday. My wife and I were in her Evo II C32 waiting to make a left turn form the outside lane. A Testarossa pull up next to us on the inside lane and starts revving over and over agian like an idiot. I turned off the traction control for fun and slid the car out making the turn just to make some noise. I punched it (and even with the slide) obliterated the guy over 1/4 mile straight. When we got to the next light, he wouldn't pull up right next to me and wasn't a revving idiot anymore.
Another jerkoff in a Camaro SS got so pissed at how badly my car was pulling on him on the highway, that he drove on the shoulder at high speed once we hit traffic. I guess tha't the only way he thought he could get ahead of me.

FINALLY!!! Ohhhhhh...I've been waiting for so long to read your E55K kills Way to show the Italians that German engineering w/a little help from the Danish it NOT an easy kill! 
Note to myself: when in the Santa Monica vicinity...if ever a silver pimped-out E55K pulls next to you at the stoplight, quickly shut the engine off step outside and pop the hood

btw talked to your boy Wil at F1 he said you're going to give me your Brabus spoiler for free?

James nice kill but your car is too beastly for a 355, i want to see you take on some more talent like a gallardo or a novitec 360 that would be quite interesting as your car has the same HP.

As far as the novitec 360 lol don't think there's even one in california or haven't seen one. But that would be quite interesting.

haha, i am just messing around with james.
But anyway, i was never a fan of kleemann. When i do supercharge it, i will have the renntech supercharger. The only thing i like about kleemann better is the price.

4 wheeled car.
So I was at the stop light in my E320 AMG turbo supercharged W210. And a Ford Fiesta pulls up next to me. He revs at me, so I'm like ok, you wanna race. So I turn off the A/C, the radio, roll up the windows, close the roof, put down the rear sunshade, lock the door, lock the glovebox and turn off my cell phone.... And then I just drove home.
