Surprise Speed Tournament
Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Wagon vs. Audi R8
Few sports cars at any price have garnered as much attention and accolade as the sexy, saucy, and very fast Audi R8. So imagine one being outgunned by a housewife in, of all things, a station wagon. That’s exactly what could happen with this über-fast and über-rare überwagen, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.
Picture it: You’re at the wheel of your brand-new R8. A black Benz E-class pulls up, and the driver puts down her phone long enough to toss you a sideways glance over her latte followed by a nod to the horizon. Surely, she jests. An E-class against an R8? This should be easy, you think. As the light turns green, you notice the “6.3” badge on the fender and hear wheelspin. Uh-oh.
You get on it with all four wheels gripping. Your ears are pinned back as you blast to 60 in four seconds flat, neck and neck with the Benz. You hit 100 mph, and what’s this? She’s pulling away! Then you start to get a view of the sheetmetal aft of the B-pillar: She’s in a station wagon! A quarter-mile later, she’s still pulling away. At 130 mph, are those her kids laughing in the rear-facing jump seats? Within 23.5 seconds, she’s at 150, 1.2 seconds before you. Mercedes’ seven-passenger station wagon will outaccelerate the R8 all the way to its 155-mph governor. And now the driver is probably back on her pink Razr to tell her BFF all about it.

lemme finish the story.
...... when my audi R8 finally catches up to the merc at a traffic jam up ahead, I nod to the housewife and signal her to pull over into an alley, where we have hot sex.... on top of my R8 of course.
THE END.
