Default I wonder? S550

On the interestate early this morning headed to work I see an S550 mercedes come up hard on my right. The lady driving the car procedes to take off, slow down, take off, etc... next to me. I assumed she wanted to run. Before I took off I noticed she had her two children in car seats in the back. They were maybe two or three years old. I gave her a nod of dissaproval andslowed down. She took off down the road. It just made me realize that while it's fun to mess around on the road, make sure your not putting your family or others peoples families in danger. Use your head. It was a dumb move on her part.

then you shouldve taught her lesson.....by swerving to the right and smashing that POS. she would then proceed to flee the road, and BAM!!! no more moron on the road
in all seriousness though.......+1 morons need to be less moronic. racing with kids in the car is just short of teling them to play frisbeein the street....

I have a 2004 mach 1. Only mods are full exhaust, intake, catback. Those cars actually move pretty good (I'm a valet, we get them in all the time) so I was interested in how it would turn out.

They are pretty fast, I thought It would be a good match against a s197 GT. My friend has one and we raced it against our 300c and after 60 mph he pulls half a car than another car length towards 100. If your a new edge you better work hard on driving your car well or you'll be seeing 120k tail lights.

Looks like they are pulling mid 13s at about 104-106 mph according to the few entries at dragtimes

http://www.dragtimes.com/results.php...arch+DragTimes

Makes sense since the last SL500 was in the low 14s, and had about 80 less horse.
