Hey Guys,
I need to come clean. With all the great track times being posted these days I am feeling a bit guilty because I’ve not been honest with myself and others. I’m starting to wonder why I feel the need to misrepresent something as silly as a car. Specifically my 650hp, 11.2 @ 124mph, E55.
You see, I don’t even know if my car has 650hp but that’s what I tell people when I get questioned at a gas station or store parking lot. I also like to throw around the impressive time of 11.2 @ 124, even though the best I’ve ever done is 11.7. I justify my deceitfulness by believing it is plausible that my car could run that fast. Hell….... others have done it so why not include myself in this elite group? I know………it’s pathetic but I honestly don’t know why I do it. I never lie regarding other matters. I have a great life with a wonderful family, good friends and a job I love.
So tell me......... am I sick.... do I need help... or is this just harmless and normal car enthusiast behavior? Do you guys ever tell a lie about your AMG?
BTW don’t tell me I’m compensating for my small member.

Last week an acne infested young man driving a Ford Mustang asked me that question and I responded, "It'll do 11.2". While only yesterday, I responded to an over-breasted, almost legal vixen in a BMW with a, "I went 11.2.

haters crazy
I love that site. All the ricers go on there and look up CLK55 and then call me out. The fastest CLK55 listed on there ran 12.5 @ 111 
Now Imagine what they think after the race... How much nitrous are you spraying in that thing? If only they knew

I have a feeling Rock is holding out on us, His car probably just went 10.99 or something like that therefore his 11.2 is a lie. Come on Rock, level with us.

When I see a ricer flyby commence in the rear view mirror, I drop the S65 into 2nd or 3rd (depending on speed) and feather the throttle so the moron thinks that's what I've got. Then when he reaches my back bumper I floor it. I love it. It's so dishonest but so sweet.

Rock say it aint so brutha.LOL. I bet the oily mustang kid started dry docking ur E55
Well that's a reasonable question and to tell ya the truth, I've stated it both ways.
Last week an acne infested young man driving a Ford Mustang asked me that question and I responded, "It'll do 11.2". While only yesterday, I responded to an over-breasted, almost legal vixen in a BMW with a, "I went 11.2.

As usual, my thread has become trivialized..........Thanks!! I'm trying to cleanse my soul of personal misgivings and you're dominating me like a $20 *****.
