Default the colt vs a kleeman cl55 coupe and scott's type R

well...i'll start off with my experiences today with a black cl55 kleeman tuned mercedes. i'm on 5th ave n...going west and onto the i375 onramp when this black mercedes w/ gunmetal wheels comes pulling past me...so i get behind him and casually get on the throttle up to about 120mph and he's pulling away from me like i'm barely moving...

so i kinda get on it a little more and by the time i'm on i275 the cl55 is like a 1/4 mile up the road so i continue to weave through traffic until finally i get up next to him...h'es rolls down his window (think he had noticed i was playing catch up) and i give him the thumbs up...

after we get to the gandy exit...(where i275 changes to 4 lanes) we both get on it and he pulls on me a little up to 120mph where i let out of it (egt's were at 950C and w/ stock pistons thats about all i'm looking to push them) and he continues to pull like a motherfucker.

so i decided to look up kleeman tuned cl55's and apparently they get 550hp out of those cars...which is why he was pulling on me like he was.

saturday night...i also had a chance to run scott's type R (mugenR) and with my roommate in the car i was able to pull on him from 40-100 one time...then he got me after i missed 4th...although he missed 3rd...so the second run wasn't very clean.

overall...i'd say his car is faster (and it should be) although the colt did surprisingly well given the circumstances.

oh...and i'd like to run the maroon rsx type s after hearing all of the things jsimon's entourage were saying about the car...how its extremely fast...etc...etc...
