blown away. That is what happend yesterday as I was merging onto the highway around a very long on ramp. Myself and another car ,which happend to be a very newish MB Sl 600 were more or less just cruising along an undivided highway for around 2 miles without a hint of either of us taking notice to each other. Well that's a lie, I definately noticed the sexy beast he was driving. Anyhow, as we round a very long on ramp onto 495, we find ourselves doing 20 m.p.h. behind an open mouther.

Approximately halfway around i inconspicously (apparently not) shifted into second so I could hear the sexy Magnaflow resonate to the hum of VQ35HR goodness powering the Z. Mr. SL 600 must have taken noticed and prepared to show me what his $140k machine could do. As soon as we cleared the Open Mouther I laid all the way into the throttle only to be passed immediately by a very angry sounding v-12. I was completely taken because I didn't know what kind of power those cars were packing. When I got to where I was going I quickly googled the car to see what that was all about. I had no idea that that thing was a 3.6 0-60 car. Faster than just about anything shy of uber exotic million dollar 4 wheel transportation .

Mmm. What year-ish? Can you find a pic?

I stopped a 2009 Ferrari 430 the other night. Such a beautiful sound...

I'm really surprised you were surprised

I thought this was going to be about a Volvo or something

IMO the trend of luxury cars not matching their show with go ended in the late 90s

What's more awesome is when try to do that and they go backwards with this "wtf!?" look on their face.
