Default Slaughtered on the Highway...

So yesterday in the afternoon i was on my way to a friends wifes babyshower. So im on the highway, and i come up on this car (ill keep a secrect till the end of the story). Im looking at it and im like, that's a really nice looking car, im looking to see what it is and i spot the badge & emblem of the car company. I think to myself for a minute, what brand that is and it finally hits me. Well i get to about half a car length next to him as im on the passing lane and the guy speeds up. So im like, okk whatever and im not in the mood to race. So i just stay at 80mph (speed limit). Then he slows down and gets right up next to me, we stay there for a few seconds and he speeds it up again. Im still totally clueless about this car at this point, so i pretty much say "**** it" and i step on it and i would say for about 5 seconds (i think he just sat there seeing what my car had) and just like that, boooommm. He launches out ahead of me and puts a good 4 car's or more on me in a matter of seconds. Im like "holy **** lol" and after a few miles of staying behind him. I finally get the chance to come up next to him again, as i do him & his passenger give me a wave. So i wave back, and give him a thumbs up on his car and that's when i see the badge on the fender that let me know wtf i just got spanked by "V12 Turbo" lmao i laughed and was like son of a bitch lmao

Atleast i can say i had an encounter with a V12 powered car lol I told my friend about it when i got the babyshower, and he was like "wtf you doing racing a V12? so how's your *** feel now?? lol". I was like "bitch, idk Mercedes cars at all and he started messing with me. So i bit and got raped lol"

Here's the car for you, idk the exact year...

08/09 Mercedes CL65 AMG w/a V12 Turbo (Dark Charcoal type color with some powdercoated charcoal or gunmetal colored wheels. Wheels almost looked the same color as the car)

It may have been, i didnt get that good of a look at the badge but it was very easy to spot the V12 & Turbo on it. If it did have "Twin" on it, then it was probably in smaller letter's or something.

Im trying to remember how i saw the badge exactly, and im thinking that "Turbo" was almost evenly under "V12". So it would probably have to be Bi-turbo. I would think Twin Turbo wouldve had it more off to the side.

I once ran a S600 non-AMG at track with my pullied 03 cobra. My cobra ran 12.0@117 and he got me 11.9@124. I had a good launch and all. Those S class has twin turbo v12 or even N/A v12 are hand full. They are a beast.
