just raced a clk 430 amg
saw him while i was on the service road caught up to him discretely at 180 km in the left lane, then pulled away from him on the right(he got caught with a slow moving vehicle in the left), and then he quickly gave me his greeting by going by me at 230km. for a
$37.000 cnd. sport sedan se03 auto. its funny how things catchup to you at 230km. scared but i felt pretty good. and he was wondering why he spent an extra 50k.

Personally I kinda like the Toyota Focus and the Benz M6 . There are sooo many moron around here that I dont know if I should laugh or just shake my head and feel sorry for em. Ive seen a mustang here with a NISMO widnsheild banner and japanese decals all over it and it was stock with the exception of the windshield washer lights and a crap wing. I also saw a late 80's camry with a wood, yeah wood cutout of a hood scoop like 2 days ago along with a wood wing all painted red and the car was grey, wtf are these people on

"Mugen" "Civic" "Prelude" (in chinese)etc... You name it, the funniest one was he put the word "Speed" upside down on his gas filler door.
Man, if you are going to put on stickers, atleast put the word upright...

Re: Re: just raced a clk 430 amg
for one, there is no such thing as a CLK 430 AMG. They just added the AMG badge to it. Also, you are lucky you were going straight. Otherwise, hed get real small in the windshield real fast. As an owner of a mercedes and a maxima, the extra money is in the build quality.

I'm sure for the right amount of money you can get an AMG package put on it. I'm almost positive that they throw on AMG rims onto the CLK430, I'll have to see on Thursday when my friend and I go to get his ML320 serviced, AGAIN.
And nice job welcoming the new member guys. I'm sure he feels loved with the maxima orgy beating. He just hasn't learned much about cars yet guys, c'mon, I'm sure all of you guys remember your 'are there mods for maximas?' 'what's the best intake?' and 'can the maxima fit X sized rims?' threads. Have a heart.

#2 People who ask those types of repetitive questions might be annoying, but at least they aren't flat out lying.
#3 He put other people in danger by driving that way in traffic. Thus, no warm welcome.
In summary... dude's a liar, as well as a moron.

a) There is absolutely no way in hell a STOCK '02 or '03 Max is going to even remotely walk a STOCK CLK 430. In order to even give one grief, you would have to go to Forced induction or Nitrous. CLK55AMG vs Max.....
b) Let me give you a rundown on some customizations
I have seen in the Chicago area (Damn, I'll be glad when I get my digicam)
a) Escort with spoiler that looks like it came from Home Depot, including the pedestals (looked like fence posts to me).
b) Lincoln Town Car with Vogues, Custom Vinyl Top, Chrome rims, and a pedestal spoiler on the trunk
c) A Prelude with an Acura Emblem on the back but the Honda Emblem up front

Even if the basic story is true, the guy stilled pulled a "ricer" move by "racing" the Merc when it was caught in traffic. I mean how lame is that? Ricers used to do that to me all of the time. At a stop light with traffic in front of us they would rev their engine (gerbil in a running wheel) at me and roll back and forth using their clutch acting as if they wanted to race. Once traffic would clear do you think they would race me!? Heck no, they would drive like grandmas and wouldn't budge.
This guy is a ricer, plain and simple.

I saw this Sentra with a big fin, then I look closely, I saw the M on his car. He probably jacked it from a BMW.

I am not sure why a 2002 Max can't run with CLK430. CLK430 doesn't have any AMG power add-ons. All it has is AMG rims and some suspension add-ons I think.
CLK430 runs like low 6.1-6.3sec 0-60.
I think Auto 2002 Max or even 6-speed Max should be able to run with it.
Now if it was CLK55, when it is totaly different story.

That is why I choose to nibble on Legos (civics)......
Look, I know the poor cat got caught up in his own s.hit, but I KNOW you other guys don't slap on mods and only go to raceways to get time slips..... especially when a ricer pulls up at the light on you, then trys to challenge your sleeper.
The thrill of competition is in us all, no matter where it is at....
BTW..... A ricer challenged me in his Lego on I-5. I lost.......
to a WHITE NISSAN SENTRA!
A very good lookin' woman, I might add..... she must've been in a hurry.....

It's real easy to tell the Amg 55 from the stock 430, it's got a different "kit" (per say), and badges all over it. And a different looking and louder exhaust.
Now if it was a 55, he wasn't racing you.
IF it was a 430 he could still whoop you. And if you made this up...Do your homework.
Or, he badged it, much like idots with maximas put GTR on there car...It's not it just cuz you got the badge.

gerbil in a running wheel, that is the funniest description yet that I've heard someone call an engine.Very good and creative, we should have a creative imagination post/forum in this biatch for stories like his and for cracks like yours, gerbil in a running wheel, that is some truly funny sh*t that I'll be using for now on.

ok, i did a search on google, clk430 does the 1/4 mile in 14.8. That is similar to a 3.5L 6 speed. I think the guy that posted had a 3.5 AUTO. Am I wrong?
but 0-60 in 6.8 which means to me that it is pulling like hell from 70mph on up...lots of top end...
a (3.5L)Maxima should hang for a while, but the clk would kick it's butt after 100. again, the CLK55...why even discuss an AMG with a grocery getter? that's like comparing the M3 (instead of the 330) with a G35.
anyway, when I was in the Marine Corps, this guy from "da-hood" had an Escort with a BMW badge...I have always said I would drive an Escort if it drove like an M3, but this guy was obviously more concerned with the name brand than the experience. Rebadgers crack me up...
oh yeah, what is wrong with Lego's? I loved those things as a kid.

Let me see if I can explain this clearly.........
Legos = Honda
Legos can change many parts from different manufactures (legos, big blocks, dupo etc....)
Hondas can change many parts from different manufacturers ( Acura, Civics, Lexus, Toyota body parts, Accords, and in some instances, Mazdas)
If you see a riced out Civic, Accord, or Prelude...... it is a Lego.

i ran a clk 430 with an amg badge 2 nights ago , i passed him doing 70 mph and he gets behind me and starts to pace me, he stayed about 2 cars back till about 120mph when some slight curves in the parkway made him loose his nerve and i put about 4 cars on him 
. i slow for my exit and he flashes his hi beams as he speeds by. this was about 1:00am
