Well i was a bit shocked by this....sunday evening on the A580, pulled up along side a c320 merc estate at the lights - joking said to our lass that im going to race him off the lights, she said 'what if he doesnt want to race'! i told her to stop swearing in my car lol. Anyway lights go green and i hang back to see if hes up for it and boy does he want to play.

All the way to the limit - couldnt catch the guy though....so at the next round about it was round 2....same outcome. I would pull in 3rd then the gap would increase in 5th and stay the same....the guy was loving it. Not sure about his bird though - mine was silent heehee

So N340LRG 0 - Merc 1

Need more power.

lol, they tune these up and use them in the police force. my cousin is in motorway persuit and has one, says nothing on the road bar something pretty damn special will out run it :o (and it's diesel...) obviously it will be quicker than the road going one that owned you... time to pull your finger out and get them cams in... or get a faster car :wink:

heeheee since fitting these 185's it seams slower than the 195s.

doesnt grip no where near as good though....but was still a decent play we had....pitty other cars were slowing us down lol

Had a good run with a CL350 some months ago. Sub-100mph do. Came out pretty even. I suspect your missus must have handicapped you some. :)
