got walked by a C55 AMG

saw the car looked beautiful...had no idea what it was other than i saw the AMG badge...heard about the E55 thinking maybe this was it ...i thought i see how bad it would be...well from about 60 him about half a car back i hear him hit it ,so i do to...he goes by me steady like and continues to pull....not like a rape just slow and steady...he shut it down just say 2 cars in front ...im thinking around 100... i gave him the thumbs up as i tried to see what car this was...we almost caught a light ...i was stopped ...he didnt get up in time and was still rolling good when it turned...he paused a second and hit it...pulled harder...ofcourse i wasnt at the same speed as him so ...no race as far as im concerned...next we did catch a light but i turned and he went straight...he did hit it hard and that car seems to get out hard...honestly i dont think i was gonna fair any better from the dig...but we may never know...30+ hp is in the mail...cant wait

There is a C55 which replaced the C32. It has the same V8 N/A engine with 354HP or something like that as the SLK55, CLK55 and ML55. It doesnt have the same motor as the SL55, CL55, E55 or G55 which are all SC'd producing close to 500HP.

True but I didnt think it was out just yet. I saw one at the New York Auto Show this past Spring. BIGTIME sleeper, IMO.

My friend had a AMG S55, man that thing was deadly. It has neck snapping torque. That car was straight pimp.
