Default How fast is a CLK 430?

I raced one last night on 95, and he pulled out faster. Imagine my chagrin at being lit by a benz! The good news is that once we got up to speed, and were neck 'n neck, I still had 2000 RPM to go in 5th gear, and the good 'ole kick down put me in the lead. For those that know the area, you probably also know the first lefthand entrance to 95, (comes curving up from below) and always look over to check for cops. Well, I did, and saw one. Imagine his surprise to see two black beasts going flat out at 125 right by him! I managed to screech over 3 lanes and hit the righthand exit at about 100, but the benz missed it, and I think he got copped. Oh well, I guess quattro pays off after all huh? Anyways, my question is...how bad *** are those cars? 430 must mean 4.3 liters right? How quick are these babies in the quarter mile?

Default They aren't slouches... mid 14's without trying too hard.

When I was in chipped mode, I could BARELY pull back by my friend's boss... after I gave him a solid "move".

Default Haven't you heard? 21 year olds are invincible...

Besides, it's not a rational reaction. When you're going that fast, your brain doesn't really have time for a committee meetings, it's like... "oh****acoplookanexitherewego!". After my little SWAT incident, the cops down here all have my number, so why risk it?

Default "My speed is rivaled only by the lightning from the heavens!" - Persian Prince, CR

my favorite line.

I also like the Prince's bodygaurd when they get pulled over by the highway patrol:

HP: "What's in that thing?"

Bodyguard: "Stock" and wavers his hand. Priceless!
