Grand Prix GXP Turbo Fun
A short story first...I got a run in a few years ago in Mexico, a Mercedes CL-class car on an isolated desert highway. Stomped a mudhole in him after turning left behind him at a light and he had punched it. And then when he tried to do a ricer fly-by I stopped his pull at my front bumper and then came around him again to 150. I'd say 4+ cars on him when I let off. I had to look up what it was and dammm those cars are no joke. It had to be a 2006+ CL500 or CL600 judging by the pics here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_CL-Class
Minimum horsepower for that car is 429HP if it was equipped with their weakest engine. 0-60 no slower than 4.8 sec.
Fast forward maybe a year or two...Followed a C5 'vette and watched him pull a TBSS 2 for 2 and I said cool going home now and slowed down to a crawl because I didn't want either to think I wanted to race. The C5 slows way down even more which forced me to come up. Turns out he wanted to run me smh.
So, as dark as my VHS cassette camera was back then, a video was made.
