But he just keeps on pushing me real close, so I muttered to myself, what the heck! Switched the car into sport mode and floored it, starting from Adventist hospital. I can tell the dude tried to keep up in the back, driving fairly aggressively. The F06 didn't fail me at any turn and I didn't even slow down at the turns. Pretty soon, the headlights from the CLS were at quite a distance.

And then, there was a taxi in front of me, that I had to slow down CLS kid caught up and pushed me again. So well... Dangerous manuever but I have confidence in my F06 I passed the taxi in front at a very short broken white line section (I think right after white jade) right before a right turn which followed by an immediate left bend. CLS tried to follow but I guess he finally chickened out. The CLS can't handle like the F06. I know because I test drove it.

And by the time I got to good old Police Museum Junction, the I can't see the lights from the CLS anymore

And during all these, on Dunlop SportMax DSST, DSC light has not come on once That's handling of the Gran Coupe
I am not surprised. I don't see how a merc can beat a bimmer in terms of cornering. Merc sucks on turns.

Can't agree more. Illogical not to put on the forged wheels and PSS. Brembo saves quite a lot of un-sprung weight too.

Wrong, what mlai is saying is he is living among the elite

All I find in my car park are HIACE and some hondas. Only 2 F10 where I live.
