Wow.

im driving through some twisties, and theres a black something up my a$$, it was very dark and i couldnt make it out, he kept dropping back to make some space then coming up fast repeatedly. im thinking wtf is that, an M3? then it sorta looked like an SLK or SL. Once the road opened up he pulls up beside me and i can hardly believe my eyes, a black CLK DTM!! i let him get in front and i try and keep up with him, we come to a red light but theres taxis everywhere, we roll off and as soon as theres a gap he darts through it, with me following his lead. we are on one of the main streets of central Hong Kong, and tearing thru traffic before i have to turn off and let him go. I must say it was awesome to see a car like that being driven!

Its amazing how driving with that DTM makes my car feel boring and un-exclusive!!

*i realise this is may not be the correct section for this post but this is where i dwell
**i do not condone speeding, or reckless driving.

Thats awesome. I've never seen on in NY, I don't even think I've seen one in any car shows or showrooms either. That must have been really cool.

I see you have a skyline GTR...is it modded

The GTR is definitly modded, thats the best part about those cars, the sky really is the limit!

also bear in mind that being RHD the CLK DTM was one of only 40 in the world!

which stunt? i bumped into the DTM in Central district Hong Kong, the GTR is back in Aus.

Its just had an HKS2.8 stroker kit done, awaiting a turbonetics GT-K850 to arrive, will expect to see 800engine hp, but at 1550kg that power in a GTR should see 10's no problem. prob about 650rwhp.
