Kleemann S8 vs SL55 AMG
Was on my way home from a spirited run and looked up on my rear view mirror and saw a silver SL55 weaving in and out of traffic. And i knew it was on.
Traffic light turned orange so we both slowed down and made a complete stop. I looked over a bit to see who the driver was and it looked like a younger guy with glasses. Light was about to turn green so i dropped it in second. And then light finally turned green, slowly mashed the gauntlet as to avoid wheelspin but even with that the ESP started making disco light. Good thing the LSD helped as well. So i held the gauntlet to the floor for a good 6-7 seconds (seemed like eternity) and the SL55 was right there on my side, then the gear changed to 3rd and the cams started to kick in like a freight train. That's when i started to pull on the SL55 but there was a mini van making a left so i had to slow down.
And my turn was finally coming up so i had to cut the race short. But the Kleemann S8 showed it's true identity. It was a good close race.

What is an S8?
Lemmie see.....
S1 = 93 octane gas
S2 = Windows rolled up for aerodynamic efficency
S3 = Replace hood star with flat emblem
S4 = Remove empty fast food wrappers from vehicle, trimming 11 pounds
S5 = Use tiptronic to shift instead of leaving in 'D'
S6 = Remove resonator
S7 = Remove sreens in MAF
S8 = NOS decal in window
