Default Fun on the way to Church (2010 Camaro SS and CLK63 AMG Black Series)

So I'm on my way to Church this morning and see a black 2010 Camaro up ahead with orange racing stripes. I pull up and I am in luck, an SS. I am just kind of staying beside him but can't really see him at all because of his window tint so I cant tell if he is willing to run or not. We are going about 75mph and all of the sudden he just punches it. I was actually really surprised and still in 5th so I drop it down into 3rd and punch it. He had about a car and a half on me off the hit. By the top of 3rd I had stopped his pull, I slam 4th and I am slowly reeling him in. I start picking up speed and I'm pulling on him hard midway through 4th. I let out at the top of 4th 1 car up. Had to take my exit, gave him a thumbs up and went on my way.

As I pull on to the next highway off of the one I was on I see a very sporty Mercedes Benz in the fast lane. I look over and I see a 6.2L badge on the side and I was just kind of like, "No way I'm this lucky." He ends up punching it by me and I knew he was game for a race. I chase after him and as I'm pulling up beside him I see its a CLK63 AMG Black Series. I get next to him going maybe 70mph and he waves for me to slow down. We get down to about 45mph and he starts honking. I down shift into 2nd but didn't have time to rev match as the 3rd honk goes I just slam it. Luckily my tires only spun slightly and then caught. He was out about a fender on me to the top of 2nd. I hit 3rd and I am dead even with him. Slam 4th and I am still even with him and I start thinking, "Damn this is one fast Benz." By the top of 4th I start to slowly pull on him and when we let off I had about a fender on him at around 125mph.

I would think that you would pull more on the 'maro.

and the CLK63 AMG Black Series is a 6.3liter with 500hp 450trq. so I dont see you keeping up with him.


odd results. anything can happen on the street though

Wish I could afford a car like that. Sounds like an absolute masterpiece.

Instead of thinking "damn this is one fast benz" maybe you should think "damn my cars faster than I taught". Good kills

If he has 10% drivetrain loss then he is putting down 450rwhp and 410rwtq in a car that weighs nearly 4000lbs. I put down 402rwtq/400rwhp in a car that weighs 3300lbs. Why would I not keep up with him again?

1.) I never called BS, or said it didn't happen

2.) you are DREAMING if you think your car is 3300lbs without a TON of weight reduction.

^ Even with the blower, I doubt his car weighs more than 3400 lbs. SN cars aren't as heavy as many think.

Pretty cool runs either way, Kerns.

The lightest I see that car being is 3450ish


I'm not trying to bash the guy or anything. Maybe i was a little to brash in the way I said everything.

Kill of the year for you. I've never seen a black series car on the road.
