My first kill in the e55

Like the smoking hot girl at the bar, you can't control who comes up to you...

A Honda S2000 with some really loud pipes pulled up next to me at a stoplight. The driver was a choched-out guy with enourmous sunglasses and techno music about 50-db too loud...you know the type.

He revved his engine twice and I thought he was kidding. Then I realized that nobody has ever "challenged" me before...and the kids weren't in the car, so what the heck.

You know how this ends. It wasn't much of a race, and after I was about 10 lenghts ahead of him, he slowed down and changed lanes to avoid his shame.

Dave - 1. Choched-out guy in his incredibly loud-yet-slow S2000 - 0.

All hail the e55.

Lovely one there man. First kill is always a thrill. A few more down the road before the mod bugs start biting

As a former owner of an S2000, I can tell you they are horrible from a dig.

You would crush most of them at any starting point, but they do much better if they can start around 6k rpms...and have a good driver.

Shame on you for picking on a punny NA 4-cylinder car that has just a bit more than a 1/3 in displacement of your motor! J/k! Given what you observed, he probably deserved every bit of the spanking!

Nice! Waste gas and kill everything you see! It is hard enough for us 55's to even be noticed as a race car.. The more you kill,, the more the word will get out.. kill, kill and kill!

Will the E-Class AMGS ever get toppled by other cars? We're doing pretty well and holding onto our place nicely since 2003 !

Some will make a pretty good argument the current CTS-Vs have already toppled the E-Class AMG since '08 (both stock & modding potential)...and I'm pretty certain the 2011 BMW M5 575HP+ bi-turbo V8 will do so easily.

Damn guys stop hating on the guy about his FN kill. Sounds like the douche pulled up and initiated it. I would have done the same thing.
