CLK320 vs Me

[mt.biker]

Well I was driving back from the airport Sunday afternoon. It was a nice sunny day so i was going a bit faster then usual, just trying to keep my speed around 140-150km/h.

I merge from one highway to another and i'm in the right hand lane, moving faster then the rest of the traffic to my left. I start coming up on a silver CLK 320 and I need to move over a few lanes because this lane exits in 2-3km. As I come up on him I put her down so she comes out of OD and in 4th. I once was passing him and now I'm not. I figure *why not* and put her to the floor. Car drops into 3rd and I start pulling on him, but not for long. He makes up the difference, and starts pulling on me. I'd say he was alittle over 1/2car length when a car merged onto the highway infront of me. We were doing about 190ish, and in about 5 seconds I went from 190km/h down to 130km/h. Now after that i had some brake fad I'll tell you that. I can't be sure if he had it down because I dont hear anything outside my car. But at looking at the car stats that car get to those speed 4ish seconds faster then mine, so im guessing not.

so the CLK320 beat me, its the first time I've lost in a race and I figured I would have to post it.....

no one was hurt durring the events mentioned above, please refrain from flaming me. I never came more then 5car lengths from the little toyota that pulled out in front of me

yup my car starts to top out at those speeds anyways, theres a limiter @210km/h and getting above 190 is tough because its starting to kick in

Yeah not all hondas have VTEC. <---- No H vtech is a phone company. I have a 96 accord and its a 2.2l nonvtec. Pretty much all hte new accords and such hve vtec engines. i-VTEC is the new VTEC :)

i dont believe my engine has vtec, could someone find out for sure for me. I've checked around and it doesn't seem to.

And yes our cars were close thats why he only pulled on me a bit.

I had V-Tech in my car the other day... Till I took it in to hook it up and call my friends.:crazy: :pfft:

Those V-Tech phones will make your car really fast.. I think they add like 100hp or something.. Thats why he beat you Rob.
