SL65 VS Ferrari F430 ( OLYMPIC Blvd )

I was driving down olympic today, guess what I saw SL65 and F430 racing down.

Asian kid in the SL65 and a mexican in the ferrari. The SL has very bad traction, the ferrari has np. In the end though the SL 65 beat the ferrari twice. I was driving my dad's CLS55 I know my car isn't fast enough so i just tag along and see the show down.

VERY VERY KOOL~ I manage to keep up but never raced I know I would have lost anyways. haha

BOW TO 65 AMG.

The funniest thing about your story is you couldn't keep up? yet could clearly see?? the distinct Asian facial features of the SL65 driver as well as those of the Mexican driving the F430, was the the Mexican driver sporting a Sombero' & Pancho & was the Asian wearing a Ninja outfit w/Samurai sword sticking out the window? your story reaks of even though I don't doubt this outcome if these 2 autos were to line-up. 65 all the way.....story maybe true but incredibly lame write-up sorry I gotta call it as I see it

CLS 55 has all the power and means to keep up with 430. 65 will destroy 430 on straights anyday.

I was at the traffic light behind the F430. I can see clearly who is who in the car as both have their windows down.

Ya the F430 sounds awesome as hell. SL65 has a respected deep growl. And they did it twice pretty kool. I didn't record it maybe someone did there were other drivers there.

One day I will get a nice car on my own.

SL
the 430 lost probably because the mexican guy is just a velet parking boy not having enough skill to handle it....

or his stomach is not feeling well for having too much burrito at breakfast... feeling too nervous for **** fart on the seat....

Wow, the 65s are just munching on Ferraris lately.

A much better described encounter of a 65 and the F430.
