+1 to BMW
I was going back home this afternoon when a CLS500 whated to race me, then I put the foot down, it was on a twisty road with very little strate road and going uphill and I was doing about 140km.
I was right up his ass on corning but when it came to strat he did pull away abit but not for long cos many corners, I did not over take him which I could have.
His car is fast but not that fast on corner. his car looked stock apart from the 20" wheels.
But I think if on track he will win, cos engine is 2x of my MB 388hp to BMW 192hp, other thing is his car is about 700kg more than my.

Oh my bad, in U.S. they changed it to CLS550 but in Asia they keep it as CLS500. Anyway, good race! BMWs always handles better especially on twisties..

cos the road is about about 30% angle uphill and loads of twisty roads.
He car was stock no mods and my is heverly mod.
I could have over taken him but had my wife with me so I was not 100% street racing .
He was fast on strat roads but when you he got to loads of bends then he had to slow down alot, looked like the car did not grip well on corners.
The red is uphill and blue is down hill.
Itis like a Initial D road in Japan.

You can't say you smoked someone unless you pass him and pull away from him. Thats what I think. So you didn't smoke him, he smoked you.
