Default vs. Mercedes ???

Here's the story...

I was just cruising along to my friends house, going the speed limit, when I see a pair of HID headlights in my rearview mirror...The guy got right on my *** as I went up to 70mph...I turned onto the next road, and he got into the near lane, and he punched it. After noticing it was just a 325i, I short shifted and left him behind easily.

Tonight, it was a similar story. I was just rolling through town when I see a fairly nice car ahead of me stop at an intersection and wait. I pull up slowly and see mr. rich boy look at me and say "I'm not in my car anymore...go ahead when you're ready." Looking over the car, I knew immediately it had a V8 engine and was a Mercedes of some sort, so I expected to be roasted.

I slowly inched through the intersection, and heard him launch a few feet behind me, so I gave it full throttle through first and second gear. I left him behind me the entire time. He, and his friends in the car, were in awe because he had NEVER been even close to losing to a Mustang.

We continued onto another street and raced twice more. Once a fourty-ish roll (he jumped the gun on last honk big time), where he pulled slightly, and from a dig, where my tires spun out of control and the race pretty much ended before it started. Overall, it was very close but I am exceptionally happy that I didn't get completely waxed by a rich kid's dad's car.

Tonight was a fun night.

remember, him and his friends, so that means more than 3 or more people in the car, no passangers = different outcome

E500 a pretty quick but with three passengers and they are heavy besides definately puts the Benz at a disadvantage.

Good Kill!!!!

Thanks for your replies, I'm hoping to meet him again eventually, and have some mods this time around. If I can get a Vortech in this winter, I'll give him a little scare..
