Man those cars are wickedly fast.

Nothing personal WSH you're the only one I know with one.

I saw this vid posted in the CL AMG section I think.

Anyways, that was insane. It was just scary watching the video... I can't imagine actually being in the car without ****ting myself.

Marvellous. It was moronic driving like this that almost killed my wife in a car accident 3yrs ago.

If people want to play boy racers on the drag strip or on empty roads at 3am I'm fine with that. When you put other people's lives in danger that's just plain selfish.

Lets hope he hits a lamp post when not even the advncd sfty tech F/P/M owners can only dream of will save him.

Actually, my daily commute is usually a <30MPH, <3mi drive

Wouldn't subject fellow motorists (or self) to reckless risk in any car

See many new 65s used as daily commuter cars on SF Peninsula/SiliconValley...can't say I've ever seen them driven irresponsibly...suspect most of those who can afford to use new 65s as daily commuter cars know where/when to drive them more exuberantly...and where/when it's simply moronic...no matter active/passive safety systems...IMO, shrewd driver judgment always surpasses any computer/mechanical systems

Amazing to think that

1) Someone would abuse a CL65 AMG like that.

2) Someone who actually had the coin to buy one of those beauties could be so dumb so as to endanger themselves and everyone else in their path. Sick.

3) No cops caught up with that morron.

I suppose this was done in Brazil, to my knowledge a CL 65 is above 300 k US-$ over there.

I do not have the feeling the driver was thinking alot in the consequences, legal enforcement in Brazil, well better than in some other Lat Am countries, but corruption is a huge point.

Mercedes22

Driven like a Prat.

DWJK

i love how power slide = flooring it and having the ESP straighten the car.

AND he listens to fergie. complete failure

BrabusMan

What an idiot. Get a life. MODs should remove this -- it is reckless, senseless, moronic driving like this that claims (innocent) lives. Nobody on the road should be subjected to driving around an idiot like this. Not cool.

AustinGuy

Sounds like it happened in Brazil, where I guess traffic enforcement is about as effective as uummmm.......Mexican cop patrols in downtown Juarez

Wasn't promoting the driving habits and have the same reaction if the poster is the one driving. In this case I was more focused on the car's incredible acceleration capability.

vintagefefe

That's not even good driving... it's neither a powerslide nor a drift. It's just a guy flooring the pedal at every chance he got....I could do the same thing with my old vw gti turbo....

....well, at least I know I can pity whoever buys the car next....

Great point. In fact, I would never buy a used X65 just for that reason. I pamper my 600 but I do use the power when needed. Just not abusively. I think some people think these cars are not man made.
