chawkins vs. E63 AMG




Cruising to our favourite mexican restaurant last night I see a quad tip e class up ahead. We slow for a red traffic light and I identify it as a w211 e63 amg. I pull up directly behind him and give a little throttle blip to see if he is game. I got a blip back which sounded stock, but he was definitely lowered, blacked badging all around on a silver merc.

Light turns green and we take off normal speed, then bam, his rear end squatted down and exhaust fumes bellowed out the quad tips. I went wot but at the sametime had to switch lanes so my rear end came around pretty badly lol. At this stage he was a good three cars up on me, 1st was useless as I just blew them off. 2nd came around and it was on now, top of 2nd I pulled nose to nose, and ran 3rd out to a 4 car lead.

That's all she wrote, gave each other thumbs up and I went onto eat dinner. Mexico has been very nice as of late.

You should have flipped the switch for open headers right as you passed him.

I still want that feature.

Yes sir, I have electric cutouts. They are right off the headers so it is brutally loud when open. All my drag vids in my sig are with them open.

I will get a clip for you guys this weekend open and closed.

The spectators, yes. Track officials, no.

My first time to the track, the inspector said "I'm not letting you run without a helmet.... I know what these are capable of"

Damn, though I had him fooled!

Nope, not going to watch. I already want them so bad. My inner redneck needs them!

BTW, what will the wheels of the month be for September?

Ha, last time at the track, immediately after my burnout, the announcer goes, "Well, that certainly is a healthy-sounding Mercedes."
Later on, he was commenting on a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 that was pooping on everyone when he said, "The only one to take down this Jeep so far was that Mercedes." Love these cars.
