Raced an E39 M5 with my CLK BLACK

[AmgAutobahnAuto]

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you NJ owners use highway 287north. I was out last Friday nite with my Black Series, love it. As I came down 287north. I look in the rear view mirror and saw some blue angel eyes. I figure it was an M, at the speed he was comein. I didnt push it until I passed a state tropper spot. The bimmer was already a mile or so up the road. I came upto him and I didn't know he was gonna push it rite then and there. So I had both my windows down. It was in comfort mode, and was not using the paddles. Then it was on, It hanged with me till about 115-120 then I started walking him hard, hit 173. I was impressed from when he pushed it bc It held up till 120 and I was gone until some moron came into my lane. I slowed down and he passed me. Then kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk my radar started blasting. I flicked my high beams a few times telling him to slow down. In which it took him half way down the highway then I saw him smash on the brakes. We slowly pass doing 75-80 there was a state trooper resting behind some tress. Thank god either of us did not get caught. I was pretty amazed with the E39 M5. I really like it alot more then the e60 verison. Anyways, we kept going and I pulled up rite beside him. I gave him the thumbs up as he did the same. I then got off the exit did my uturn and went home. It was around 12:30am. I am looking to see if the owner is a member of this board? It was great to see him push it. I love Ms and Amgs 4 life.

sorry with the spelling and grammer. try to make the best of it.

Yeah, I believe it was modded in some sort. I could be wrong. I never will be upset if I had my arse handed by an M. I respect them like Amg. The Black Series is a great car. The handling is what shocked me the most. I have never taken her to the track, yet. It really is a fun car to drive. It handles alot better then my car before, which was an 03 E46 M3 (SMG). The power is insane. I'm always scared when I start her up. The exhaust note is remarkable. I love it in every way. There is only thing I hate about it. The automatic tranny. It just sucks. Then again thats where Mercedes always fall. I believe the new tranny like SL63 would of been alot better. At least they finally built a car that can handle. If your in New Jersey, Morris County. We can meet up and I let you take her for a spin. Only if your a M owner . Black Series is up there with the big dogs. I mean a little pricy but thats what you get when there are only 500 built. Only 350 came here in America. It also the F1 safety car, street legal verison. I'll wait and see what BMW will offer. I am sure they are working on a lightweight M3.

Sounds good to me if i'm not intruding I have a E60 M5 but I have to tell you I think your car is sick it looks the part and if its as fast as you say then hell it plays the part too. Lets meet up i'm in Paramus NJ we can run them and then maybe do a switch and you can see what you think. I would love to see what my car can do against the AMG Black.
