Well, to make this short and bitter, I was beat this morning on the freeway by one of these monsters!

He just kept pulling away all the way from 40 MPH (in traffic) to about 100 MPH (once we switched lanes to an open lane) for a short period of time before we hit traffic again.

We then got off the same exit to 290E and had an open freeway for a little bit. I was actually starting to pull on him very little once I dropped it to 3rd from 4th @ about 80MPH. 3rd ran out very quick at about 95MPH (3rd was where I pulled a little), then comes forth and he started to pull away. Shut it down at around 120 MPH and flashed my highbeams at the rear of his car which was getting smaller and smaller by the second.

I'd say good race! That car is something else! Too bad its an automatic

 

You just need more mods

 

ahhhhh....good try!

 

Lucky Punk. I would atleast love to see one of those Beauties

 

that car is an animal. i went in 1 3 times at a mercedes event with a professional driver around an oval flat track. it was power sliding like a mutha foker.
good fun to play with .

good job "trying to keep up"

 

You really need that NOS.:P

 

Then the 1/4 mile time in your signature is just a joke, right? Because if you car ran a 12.9 there is no way you would have a problem with an CLK55. Fast but not that fast.

 

He did run 12.9XX for a day though, i think they put a NOS just for kicks. Here's the link http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=53671

 

Your right, he did get that time because of the temporary NOS in it. They were just screwing around to see what would happen.

:P :P :P :P

 

Oh, then his 540 did pretty well because the CLK55 has quite an engine in it--almost 400 ft lbs of torque stock. A bit too pimpy for my tastes though but to each his own.

 

Good try 'gainst That Beat...... lol

 

Dude, you're bone stock don't feel bad...LOL! Good try. I will admit that I got the chance to run with a S55 and guess what, not that impressed. And yes we were going at it from about 60mph. I know those cars are heavy and torque crazy, but maybe the old guy was too scared. Did I mention he was an old guy?

 

Oh, forgot to mention...I had the luxury of getting spanked by an E55 before. Dude I know the feeling.
