Mercedes....
Not much I know, but a C300 (I'd guess maybe a 2009ish).
I was leaving the STL auto show and was waiting to get onto the highway at a stoplight that has two lanes that narrow down to one to get onto the freeway. He pulled up next to me and looked over. I was in the lane that continues straight and he was in the one that has to merge.
I used to work downtown and drove this a ramp a lot so I know people usually try to get ahead and then merge. I figured this is what he wanted to do, so.....
I put it in 1st and rev'ed it a little. I was a little worried cause I have my snow tires on so I had to launch it gingerly. I was right, light changes and boom, he's off! I launched real gentle in 1st and we're dead even... I short shifted into 2nd cause it was starting to spin a little... that slowed my drive down some and he maybe got a bumper ahead. I looked over and his wife (I assume) was laughing. Once it built some more boost it was all over by 3rd, prolly had him by two cars...
He followed me on the highway for prolly 6 or 7 miles but wouldn't pass me as I had the cruise set for 63 or so. He finally came up next to me and wouldn't even look over. LOL
I know they're not fast or anything, but it was still fun!

Always nice to take out a "flashy" car. I did something similar to a C300 back when I had the balt. Young kid in daddies car or rich punk in daddies car bought for him lol. Had fart cannons on it!
