Well...

Today I went out, with my friend, looking for some body to race. A slow monday. Took the day off, and just went out. Plenty of hot rides out there, and not one of them wanted a run.

I took-- or rather my passenger took a few photos of some of the hotter rides. Ferrari, Porsche, some speedbike, no one was in a racey mood. Lame. Whats with everybody this week? What a slow, and dissapointing start, espically when I don't see 550s Marenellos everyday. Oh well... maybe next time...

Me want to race. No one wants to race.

Everyone wants to race. Im down and dont want to race.

All else aside, enjoy the pics... the Ferrari was beautiful, cruised with style and grace, the Porsches rolled the freeway with an authoritve stance, and the Motorbike cruised as if one with wind-- and yet not one, driver was willing to settle for a friendly run.

Too much traffic?

Lexani

Not even. That was about the highlight of Traffic on the 405 today. (Ferrari in rear-view). Besides I was willing to weave thru traffic, if need be...

So depressing for some reason. Slow month, slow week, slow day. WTF!?

Stiggs

Dude....be happy you even see Ferraris on the highway. Where I live, I'm lucky If I run into a Porsche every now and then. I see a few M3's here and there....but it always seems like they are on the other side of the highway.

Lexani

Yeah, well, the Ferrari just as well might be a Honda, wont change much. I could have had him too...

fadedinc

try at night on 405 or 57. i usually get some good races on the 57. not really high end cars like yours. raced a CTS and audi last time doing 140ish. i run into a lot of spoiled kids with m3's and that sort down the 5 south around irvine. they love to show off. haha

Lexani

140!? Whoa-- out of my league, I'll do 120, 130, but Im not crazy. I like to keep it as safe as possible. Im not saying 130 is safe, is just right for me, Im not Dale Earnhart, or whatnot, so unless its a straight stretch with no traffic, 130 is where I tend to stop. Unless... Im racing say a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Than, Im willing to go faster, but just to prove some Cobra wrong or something I wont risk my SL, thats my baby, and if I would ever crash with it. I would kill myself, if I don't die from the crash.

I know this thread, said Im looking for racers, and I am, within a sane raidus. And how is it your CLK beats M3s and such?

And thanks for the tip on where to find racers.

tuscanraider

You can beat anybody remember? You are Lexani. Your finely honed driving skills piloting your mercedes could beat a DC-10 in a race across country.

Teck

Same here. Sometimes I race at high speeds but I try to keep it as safe possible!

Vomit

I couldn't agree more. 130 is safe, but 140 is extreeeeeeemely daaaaaaaangerous

JamE55

lmao :p

If that was a 575 i think you would of seen some tailights there. Those things are beast on the highway. When we gonna meet up?

Lexani

Lexani

Serious? An E55, can and would tear a 575 to shreads. And as for the meet, I asked one of the people who wanted to meet, to start a new thread about that so we may further discuss the topic there.

Lexani

Like I said, Im not Dale Earnhart, and yes, 10 more mph for me is a big difference, might not be for you, but for me it is. So point and laugh, and make jokes-- its the truth.

Honduh_guy

The E55 may have a torque advantage but I hardly see the Ferrari as being torn to shreads. I'd be surprised the figures are that far off between the two.

Incidentally, I've come across a 575 and an SL 55, and the 575 proved to be more of a challenge (might be a driver thing though).

Lexani

Your right! Im exagerating the truth. IT would not tear it to shreads, but it would prove a worthy oponent, and I believe the E55 could beat it.

As for the SL55 vs. 575, I believe the SL55 should also beat it-- heck the SL55 beats the Murcielago in high-speed punches.

And what car do you own, if I may inquire?

Welcome to the boards!

Honduh_guy

You may: Stock (to stay stock) Audi S4 (nothing to write home about performance-wise). It's the bike that does all the 'killing' (cbr1100).

Thanks, ironically, I logged in because of the increase of people trying to race the bike with C320 , 230 , C32/36s.

FThornton666

up top a 575 would pull an E55 and a SL55.

Lexani

Lexani

CBR1100. Ok, me with bikes, is like Bush knowing what hes doing; so with that, can you tell me a little more about it. Is the bike in the picture a CBR? C230s, those things couldn't lose a Taurus.

FThornton666

your starting to loose track or reality, get out of the boost for a few miles.

egxpimp

Oh cmon guys, those nascar drivers can drive for ****zna!! its about F1! anyone can drive on a freaken oval track...takes no skill in my point...and cmon ferraris are perfection on curvy roads/track. Thats what those beast are made for! try to race one on the track and i'm sure you wont ever see it again !
