I was going pretty fast on a rural road yesterday evening in my Mondeo (going around 100) when I suddenly had two older headlights popping up behind me. Thought to myself it's probably just some Civic trying to show off his track driving abilities :D anyway, we passed a small town and after leaving I hit the gas pedal to gap him at 120 or 140... and it didn't take the other car 10 seconds to pass me with 180kph. The guy probably even hit 200 before the next corner... the last thing I remember is those 190E tail lights. I was absolutely stunned by what a beast this car must have been. Probably had 280 PS or more, sleepers I swear.

@ Shaggy: I don't know where my dad got that Merc Evo II. It's pretty rare in Japan since I never see people drive that car on street in my town. Also, it's left hand drive so it might be original Germany version. I believe you can imagine what it's looks like when you see women drive a Mercedes with bodykits and huge spoiler and do their ordinary shopping using this car.
