I was on my way home from work yesterday and I pulled up next to a sweet Mercedes with tinted windows. I thought that the driver was probably some old rich dude and I was not looking to race at all. The light was still red and I let my car roll forward an inch and the mercedes nudged forward and almost jumped the line so when the light turned green I floored it and got the jump on him and I had a car and half on him til about 45-50 mph and then it was no contest he flew by me by about 5 cars lol. I had no chance against this V8 but it was pretty funny because the guy thought I was stock and didn't expect me to get the jump on him.

Here is a picture of the back of the Mercedes.

Yea, I can trounce all over my boss's '99 C230 Kompressor.... And I would imagine those specs on the India Car would be a bit screwed. It's my understanding that cars built in countries like India and a Jordan are complete sh*t.
