robby A, was that a lap speed at richmond of 120mph in a clk 430?? i will try to get to use the oval and road course at the speedway in LV, specifically to challenge my partner who has an M5. i, hopefully, will be armed with a CLK 55. i am probably a better driver and i think the 55 will edge out the M5. we will see. i have been thinking about how hard i can push it on the oval. believe me, if i can get the car there, i will not be braking deep in the turns. i should be able to cruise around there around 130 or so. what do you think? if you dont know (you probably do), the track is a trioval, 1.5mi, with 12 degrees in the turns. if you have never been there, it is an awesome facility...
