did not get spanked by CLK.
he saw me come up behind him and he started dancing on the pedal once he saw my rice. so we come up to the next set of lights and we were lined.. Light goes green and i get a beautiful launch.. he just punches it.. i know that benzes are slow at take off so i was like this 320 is breakfast... wrong answer... we are head to head all the way through first .. so, i was like 2nd gear is not my strongest. so i bring up the RPMs near red line and dump it into second with a powerful thrust and perfect clutch/gear coordination. my car lunges a little but no chirp and it's still head to head with this sissy boys convertible car... i'm like damn.. so then comes third.. i know that benzes once they get going they are gone.. so i do my best to get to the bottle neck down the road at least dead even.. i bring up the rpms up to about 6K and dump into third, again, beautifully done, the two cars are dead even well into third gear.. but... the benz is edging out on me.. shit i go.
my shift to 4th was the worst ever i missed the gear but we were extremely close to the bottle neck so i decided to not even try it..the benz zooms away from me and dashes right in front of me and blasts away. the next light was a one laner so i roll up behind him and much to my surprise that this was a CLK430!! i betcha this rich boy thought he was going to put jam on me and eat me up like toast. but it didn't happen. i did not get spanked by a CLK430.

Eh, don't rely on the numbers on the back of the car because lots of people do the Persian Conversion and slap higher class numbers on their car. A 430 should have beat you with no problem. Maybe he left ESP on, that really destroys your take off in a Benz. Or maybe he had it the tranny in Winter mode meaning he starts in 2nd gear. Who knows. Most people who drive Mercedes don't know what their car can really do. Anyways, good job stickin it to the rich boy!

true, that you didn't get spanked because you held on long enough in that race.

Re: did not get spanked by CLK.
Lets face it, the 99 Max has 189 hp, the CLK430 has 275. 0-60 times differ by more than a second, which translates to 8-12 car lengths. Either rich boy was gettin' road head and didn't care, or he faked it and slapped on a CLK430 Badge. Did it say AMG next to it too?? HAHA.. Great story though.
