Default Fun with M3, CLS550, and Charger R/T

While cruising home today I saw an M3 (~2005 model) and a CLS550 coming up on me. I then saw an R/T charger (with at least exhaust) coming behind them.

Without getting too detailed, I will say that the M3 and the CLS550 are both nice rides with plenty of power. I didn't play as much as the M3 and CLS550 were, just because the last thing I need right now is a racing ticket.

The R/T charger didn't stand much of a chance against any of us.

I would say that the CLS550 would likely catch me right after a 1/4mile mark, but not sure that it would beat me in the 1/4. Does anyone have any 1/4 specs on these?

The M3 was close as well, but seemed to lose too much from the punch and had too much ground to gain.

It would be tough to say how the race would've gone on the 1/4, but I'd say I would've been neck and neck with the CLS and just barely ahead of the M3, with the R/T charger well behind. The CLS may have been a different story from a stop.

There was an Altima SE-R that pulled up after I exited that seemed like he wanted to play also. He and the R/T probably would've made better running mates.

Just thought I'd share my experiences.
