Fast Cars and Fast wom… er… just cars.
So Pouya got his b-day gift from us today… a shiny new G-TECH/Pro racing meter. Its kinda hard to explain what it does, but it’ll measure stuff like 0-60 times… 1/4mile times.. 0-60 braking distance.. measure Lateral or Longitudinal G’s… maximum delivered horsepower… etc… its a clever little device.
All in all it makes you feel better about the crazy-expensive car you bought… *COUGH* pouya *COUGH*… ‘cuz everyone always wonders if it can really go as fast as the brochure said.. 🙂
The CLK55AMG did the 0-60 in about 5.5s and back to 0 in about 120ft…. my Toyota did in 6.82s and 139ft. Maybe a supercharger is in my future someday… 😀
Pictures a movies of our test runs in an abandoned parking lot are here.
