I just read a thread about how one of our own members picked up a CLK AMG Black Edition and he hit 170mph a few times on the way home.

To put that into other words...

170 mph = a mile every 21 seconds = 251 feet per second.

If the Benz in the OP was doing 170, there wouldn't be anything left of that car!

Be safe out there guys...

Speeding is one thing but this guy was just crazy. When i speed i am going like what 85? I dont even hit 95. And the only reason i would be going 100+ is if i was sreet racing but even then i would be in a car that can handle the speed.

I won't lie when i was looking at ecus i always wondered why they would limit the cars top speed. Now it makes complete sense. Even if your car is capable of a high speed, doesn't it can handle it.

whats the difference? Bad people are people who make bad decisions.

So you are saying everyone is a bad person because there is no one, that has lived a life of all good choices, no one is perfect

There are a lot of young wealthy people there. They are driving like kids, but with 600 hp under the pedal.

Look at me talking. I was cruising at about 130 mph today on the way to work. ( desert highways) I need to slow down as well

God, how much i love the S class coupe they had. Honestly, if they were good in maintenance, i would trade in a lexus for that ANYDAY.

I guess the flagship Mercedes wasn't made for Autobahn speeds, lol, the problem in Dubai and other arab citys, certain tunnels have bumps after u exit, if you hit the bump even at 150mph you might go crashing or even 100mph if you freak out, I guess the guy forgot about that!

Middle East culture has always been associated with speed from there horse racing to 500+HP exotic cars, there going to speed none the less, even if you enforce the speedlimit.
