01 cls vs mb e55 amg

the most pleasent kill i have ever recieved. 30-115 about a buslength or 3.
70-115 about 5 cars maybe 6. the mercedes isn't stock though. i have seen it run a 10.9 in valdosta ga. so i don't really feel that bad.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

The E55s are monsters in stock form, and he knows this ones running a 10.9 quarter mile. Thats better than an Enzo can do a quarter mile run.

It's not fast? It's one of the fastest cars they make. Runs 12s stock. About 12.5 I believe, I guess that's not a fast car. How many family cars you know that runs 12s stock?

There is no way a CL-S will take on an E55 AMG! Even if the CLS is supercharged it will still have a bitch of a time with an E55. The E500 still has a V8 with 302 for hp and rus 5.9 0-60. So yeah if you have some bolt ons you can take out an E500. The 469 hp monster is just what it is - a MONSTER!!

Seen the E55 run at the track plenty of times with the best time I recall was a 11.8 at 112 mph. It was crazy

I did and I have to say that I kind of agree; it's not as quick as I thought it'd be. As a matter of fact, the E350 I drove felt almost as quick.

It's not built to be fast. Why would they make it just as fast as the amg model when the amg model is 20k more almost? It could probably be faster but they don't want to take sales away from someone who wants the E55. The amg models are the sports models of all the benzs' out there.

Stock is slow??? I don't know any other sedans that can run that fast bone stock out of the factory.... swap a pulley, put on some stickies and you'll be deep in the 11's... that seems pretty fast to me!

i was on the highway and one of these flew by me,

when we got off the freeway... we went from a 20 roll and he put about 1 buslength before i shut it down

then when i rolled up to the window i looked down and saw the V8 compressor badge and said "oh" and the dude laughed but then said "i like your car man" and i said hey "i'll be there someday" and pointed to his e55
