I was just coming home from school, and took this small double lane road to my house. i stop at the light and there is sevral cars in front of me. I look to the left and there is this 190e 2.8, with some smoked 10 spoke wheels, i think they were oz, not sure. the car was also chery red, so it kinda matched, but that was it. the light turns green, and there is about 3 cars infront of us just driving slow as hell....finally after 2 mintes the stupid woman in the SUV, makes some gap and allows the rest of the cars to go around her...in the mean while i got into the same lane as the 190e, and got behined him.. without intentionally wnating to race, the guy steped on the gas and about 5 seconds pass before i can turn and go around the woman, and so i floor it too, but after he cleared he still kept going so i figured why not,...i start flooring it from 40..i go up to 50, and im still behined the guy, 60, still the same, 70 i start closing in on him, 80-90, im almost at his ass, and the 190e just starts spiting out smoke as it shifts through gears. almost blings me.....i go to 100 and pass the guy several car lenghts, as i begin going into a very big curve.....the car never felt more stiff as i was going out of it...but the last curve i slow down, after i pass the guy, because the trafic began to pile up again...and just for my luck i get right behined a police cruizer...on the next road the guy passes me, and as he does i give him a tumbs up, and he gives me a piece sign...cool short race...got my adrenaline going....


EDIT: i never knew that 190e's could drive like that...i certainily have the respect of the car...i seen the guy's car before, ill try to meet up with him or leave him a note about the site on his windshield

wow that's surprising Elvir! 190E 2.3 has 120 mph (pre 1987) or 130 hp (post 1987) and 190E 2.6 has 158 hp...I'm surprised it was giving you some competition 'cause your ride has some serious hp advantage...

good thing you didn't run into BenzMac who has a 450+ hp 190E 2.3-16 (located in ATL I believe)...:D
