Had some fun with a couple Mercedes one the way up to Vegas from OC, namely a CLA55. We played follow the leader for a bit through traffic, opened up a bit when things cleared up. At one point a blue pick up cut us off to pass a semi, when it merged back we both punched it. I was giving about 3/4 throttle in 4th, when I looked back he was slowly gaining. I mashed my foot to the floor and went into 5th and when I looked back he started falling behind a bit, only caught up when I made a bad merge.

A bit up the way, a Vette destroyed me on some 60-100 pulls. We nodded to each other and continued on our way.

This was my first opportunity to really open up and see what this car can do. I'm nothing short of astounding at the level of performance for the price paid. 120 feels like 60 would feel in any other car, and it grips well.

Just happened to notice this thread. There is no such vehicle as a CLA55. There is a CLA45 which is a turbo 4-cylinder. There is a CLS55 which is an older 4-door sedan with a supercharged 5.5l V8. Also a CLK55 which is a naturally aspirated 5.5l V8 2-door coupe/cabrio.
