Default cl65 v12turbo vs. 98 z28 DEATH

Well I was driving to my hockey game tonight and what do I see a nice 94-98 Mustang GT. So i'm thinking to myself lets try to get him to run. The light ahead turns red and I get right nex to him with about a mile of flat straight road ahead of us. Right now i'm getting kinda giddy... I havn't had a race in awhile so i'm sitting there at the light staring at this guy and he has his blinders on big time. He is just pretending i'm not even there. right before the light turns green a car pulls up beside me in the third lane. I look over not noticing what car it is cause i'm waiting to catch the light. WHen the light turns green I launch my car I stop at like fifteen miles an hour cause the Mustang didn't race at all.. Then all of a sudden like a silver blur this Mercedes flies by like a bat out of hell... I'm like by the time I can get back on it this car had about twenty cars on me. So I give chase and catch this guy at the top of third. He lets me get about two cars from him and bam he nails it again I hit it instantly but he already had two cars on me and just continued to put buses between us. My car isn't a slouch it runs 13.0 at 110 but this car kicked my ***... So I follow somemore cause I have to see what it is I pull up behind him at the light cause that was the only way I would have every caught him and it says CL65 he had dual exhaust with dual tips nice looking car two door. I pull up besides him and give him a huge thumbs up for kicking my *** and its this real old guy in his sixtys or later just waves. I look and it says V12 Turbo... The light turns and he nails it again and is gone. I looked up on the net and these cars have 612HP and 737TQ so I dont' feel bad. Also real quick on my home I raced a fine *** girl in a 99-02 Cobra. Beat her from a dig twice by the time I hit second I was five cars away. I heard alittle tire spin from her. We were both on street tires. Then proceeded to do countless roll races with her getting the jump on me once and I was out of the powerband in fourth. All the other my car would pull on her untill 90 then after that I put car after car on her... Just thought you would like my story. Im still from getting owned but i'm cool with losing. There is always a faster car.

They run 11.8-11.9 in the 1/4. I would love to try one from a roll. Good death.

We have those all over the place here but none of them will ever run. That would be awesome to see one of those things open it up.

Actually you read V12 "Bi" turbo. Yes that's a fast ****ing car, I beleive it shares it's engine with the Maybach. Lindsay Lohan has already wrecked 2 CL65 verts. What a ***** pretty soon there'll be none left.

And in 2002 they didn't make Cobras, but 99-01 models shouldn't beat LS1s They had under 300 bhp (not even close to the 320 they were rated at) and the LS1s even in 98 had a good deal over 300bhp. OR maybe I read that sentence wrong

Nice kills and death.

BTW, my dad actually has a rich client in South Beach and he was dricing his Ferrari (F355 if I recall) hard all over the highway until some huge 4-door Mercedes smoked him, then repeated to on fair roll races it was this thing

the next week he went to a mercedes dealer and traded his Ferrari for the baddest Mercedes he could get.

The CL is a coupe only and the SLs are convertibles.

He said cl55, as in the supercharged v-8, not the twin turbo v-12 cl65. Although the cl55 amgs are no slouches as they are 490 flywheel hp and 500+ flywheel tq they are heavy so i could def see a cammed ls1 hanging with him.
