for lou and his fast benz
lou offical owned me last night as he handed me my first lost. I know this should be in racing stories but it is more than just that... lou benz is freaking fast he smoked me by at least 2 to 2.5 cars last night all 4 times we raced. He wanted to buy a supercharger and this and that because he thought his car was a dog it is not....the benz by the way sounds fcking bad ass, so dont get tricked out that lou benz is slow it hauls some ass. plus he handed me my first lost. iam sure you have all seen lou posts about this and that about the benz so you know what iam talking about.....:P
I got ure 2nd right here

Maybe I'm incorrect, but Vin, wasn't it true that you couldn't drop below 15's in the 1/4 with your TL the other day? I raced my friend's father's CLK430 with my CL with only an intake. It was VERY close, but I won by a hair. I'm guessing Lou's car runs mid 14's?
We definitely have to run one day soon Lou!

I would like to run the car at the track just to see what it can do...but like I said mid 14 is what most people are doing.

14.8 is vins best time, so yah i would say judgeing by the tape i guess mid 14s is what lou's car would do. but hey u never know could be faster could be slower, the only way to know is the track.. 
or next time i see u lou gtech, i forgot about that lastnight

u guys are under etimating the benz, its 1.1 liters bigger, prolly weighs the same if not less, has a trq, hp, rwd, and gearing advantage, y wouldnt it win
even with headers i think the benz will pull on a auto cl-s in 3rd and def in 4th gear

the auto tranny is geared for highway driving so 0-60 is like 6.1 seconds...most guys change the differential gearing to 3.07 and improve their 0-60 drastically
the sport shift does the shifts so smooth that it doesnt shift quick...
the traction control even tho it was off it still blinks when it senses the tires spinning
my cl-s 6 speed was very quick off the line while the benz bogs down and then goes..it doesnt feel fast whatsoever...
