Default Yup

I thought it was a CLK320 and wasn't too used to my car. The guy edged me out the first time out. The second time I was ahead by a nose and then I missed third .... a very embarassing moment and he sped off.

Oh and I'm 100% stock

Default It's funny, those things used to pick on me all the time when I had my E46 328i (my mistake).

Now I guess their vision isn't as good because they always fail to even notice the Imola S4. "Humm de dumm, I don't see you! I don't see you! Please just go away Mr. Audi." I love it. And is it just me, or do Merc drivers like the biggest pimpin'est wheels known to man? Gross. I can just smell the musk fumes behind those limo-tinted windows.

Default I've run with two. Stock. Both rolling starts.

Once those things are on the move, they're quick. Both times, I won, but I would have liked a wider margin of victory. :-) From what I've seen, it seems like Mercedes gears their cars very well for high-speed runs.

Default Yes, they're pretty fast.

I had to work pretty hard in chipped mode to beat the one that I raced.

I gave him the move, and barely motored around him on top.

Default I drive them all the time. I would only worry in a stock tip. CLK55 is..

a different story though. You better be Stage 2+!
