Have you chased a CLK55 lately?

I just did! Saw one on Hwy90 in Houston... I knew I would get beat BAD... but wanna see how fast it is! Well now i know... It's like I am running against Civic..... First gear, we were kinda even, cuz he wasnt even trying hard... then once he stepped on it in 2nd.... I saw him like zooming..... Normally when I run other cars, even if i get beat, i would keep a distance... But that thing, it kept pullin and pulling!

hehe, he was a cool guy, altho i didnt talk to him, but he honked when he passed by..... Nice run! I really dont mind loosing to a CLK55, cuz they pay double price of my CL, so they DESERVE to win.. (they better)!

NO CLK55, but got the pleasure of getting beat by an E55. Actually the race wasn't that "off" I actually hung well with him even at high speeds, but he did pull away from me very very slowly.

On my way up to new york, i mistaken one for a clk 320 - 430. I saw the lights coming up on me fast and thought it was one of those above models and i floored it. I was like WTF why is he still on my bumper? So as we headed to the NJ turnpike toll booth, he stayed behind me. So when i paid my toll I floored the hell out of my CLS and dude came up on my ass hard like a cop, and had the nerve to go around me When I looked harder I was like OOOOHHHHHHH DUHHHHH! Clk 55 He slowed down for me to catch up and he gave me thumbs up (Asian dude) and he took off again..... FAST CAR! And I even think he had mods on it!

Too bad the car only comes out when the barometric pressure is right, and there won't be rain in the forecast for atleast the next 5 days.

Dude relax... no one is comparing CLK55 to CL-S

It'd be like comparing Porsche RUF with CLK55... no comparison, right?

Hey Pull-T.....with those mods and those times, I wouldn't be scared neither HOWEVER, imagine the benz owner with all the mods you have. I am figuring a good mid 12 1/4 run.

I'll bet that the benz is faster than pull T. It has 342hp and 376 lbft of torque. I've been in a lot of stangs, vettes, camaros, TAs.ect.........The only thing that feels close is a Vette.
