Default ITR getting owned by Mercedes ML SUV

was at the traffic light just minding my own business when i seen a PY ITR and a ML SUV at the light. of course i was admiring the beauty of the ITR, when all of a sudden i heard the roar of the ITR engine and in a snap they were off from the light. You could hear the VTEC and high RPM gear changes of the ITR but the ML was in front of the ITR all the time. WTF? So in short the PY ITR got smoked by a stock looking SUV they raced for maybe a 1/8-1/4 mile BTW in was a PY ITR with like a Possible N1 muffler and stock rims. not in favor of street racing but in happened

Can't fight Torque which we lack of.
Anyway, is another stupid drag race with a SUV
which they probably end up flipping over or end up in a ditch.

If it makes you feel better, my old 6.3 Merc would also out-drag an ITR.

Racing an SUV
Street racing
Perhaps it will teach the guy some humility.

I used to drive an ML55 for about a month.
I personally liked it for a daily driver :-)

There used to be a 430, but I think it's just the 350, 500, and 55 now.

Yea, it runs a mid 12's 1/4 mile. That's what happens with an absurd amount of power... 469/516

Posts like this make ITR's sound invincible.. hahahaha
Its got a damn V8 in that thing, if the ITR didn't leap outta the hole, it wouldn't stand a chance cause i've driven an ML plenty of times, its got a lot of torque down low and by the time the torque stops coming, the distance that it gained would leave an ITR behind! I've beaten an ML before but it was cause i've got some internal work done.

Sounds like this R just had a few simple Bolt on's
