C32 v. 350z
I know its a simple run, but finally found someone that wanted to race and had to take advantage of that fact. Getting onto the freeway he passed someone else so I passed him in a separate lane... pulled pretty hard on him. Not sure what the stats of our respective cars are, but it was a pretty simple win.
His car was brand, spankin' new and didn't even have plates on it yet. I think he was pissed because he tried to stay on me and tried to get around me on the freeway a couple of times, but couldn't.
I got a call so I slowed down and he passed. Then he made some crazy moves to get ahead of a few more cars on the freeway. I eventually got off my call, caught up with him and smoked him again.
Although I kinda felt sorry for the guy, it was certainly fun to pull away from the 350z so easily! I highly doubt it was turbocharged or otherwise force-fed. Now if I could just find something with a little more juice to run...

350Z 6spd = 0-60 in 5.8s
C32 AMG = 0-60 in 4.9s
350Z 6spd = 1/4 mile in 14.5s
C32 AMG = 1/4 mile in 13.6s
These two cars are very different, and there is a reason why your vehicle is $20K more. It's damn near impossible for you to have lost this race. By simply flooring it and staying in your lane, you would easily beat him. Why is this a nice kill?

there are factors to be accounted for when racing on the road, driver, traffic conditions etc etc
can't just make judgements on who'll win by looking at numbers, real life experiences are better indications.

Dink, in his C32, lost to an apparently-stock G35 in a short rolling race (from 20-50 MPH, if I remember correctly). Isn't the G35 even slower than the 350Z?
Also, isn't it true that some C32 owners have reported running best quarter mile times in the low 14 second range? Haven't some Z owners reported quarter times in the same range (or better)? If these C32s and Zs ran side-by-side, would the race not be close?
My point is that Goliath can be slayed by David, given the right circumstances.
For a C32, a 350z is a nice kill. I think that you CLK320 owners are just jealous because your definition of a "good kill" is granny's Avalon.

Simply put - the guy is having fun, so let him have it. You don't need to beat him down just because he posted a "kill" over a cheaper and slower car. I've read worse on this board...

Yes, you should give him credit for even owning one, since this is an MB enthusiasts site. Also, using your logic, a guy with an SLR shouldn't be allowed to hardly any of his conquests over lesser vehicles.

Humor? What humor? I am sure that the Jews on this forum just can't contain their laughter thinking about how the a-hole in the front seat (Adolf, not Talos) is prominently displaying the symbol so intimately linked with the extermination of 6 million of their parents and grandparents.
If this is funny to you, I suggest that you shave your head and acknowledge who you really are.

I do not see the humor either. At best, it's an oversized childish annoyance wasting space on my screen, at worst, a disrespectful display of your complete ignorance in history.
Hitler is not known as someone obsessed with looking and acting professional, he is know as a mass murderer guilty of a genocide killing millions of innocent lives.
I have seen far more tasteful signatures than yours.
