You know what happened. He had me by about 3 car lenghts around 80 or so. He was even sipping on his drink while we were at it granted that all he has to do is push down the peddle. Someone find me a supercharger...

No it was a cup from Wendy's. I was originally on the way for something to eat but after getting beat so bad I wasn't so hungry any more.

Probably a milk shake... :D

You were over-matched, simple as that, you have less than half his hp and torque... ;)

Well I knew I wasn't going to win but sheesh, he was pulling pretty hard. I don't feel so bad tho after looking at his numbers. I should have just saved my gas...

Nah, you had nothing to lose, if you lose, you were supposed to, if you win, you embarass him....

i was just reading the june issue of Motor Trend (viper and murcielago on the cover). They tested the CL55 AMG too. weighing in at 4255 lbs, damn this thing is heavy, but it's still QUICK and FAST!

here's some number rundown

0-60 mph 4.27 second (.02 quicker than Zo6)
standing quarter mile 12.38@114.45 (Zo6 runs 12.44@116.54)
0-100-0 10.11 sec (0-100) 4.34 sec (100-0) 14.45 sec (total)
standing mile 31.9@164.1 (it's just .1 sec slower than Zo6)

Chinese food doesn't feel THAT authentic here, does it? I still love it though

Nice death buy the way Iron Chef. Do you know around what year CL55 it was by any chance?

I have no idea. It was silver and had HIDs. He didn't even acknowledge my presence when I tried to give him a wave. I guess he was too good for me in his $115k car.

had to be the new one to walk on you like that. 01-02 CL55 did not have the s/c and was pretty slow, like 140 less hp and 140 less torque slow...

if you seen that Gumball300 video where a S4 was going against a SL55 AMG under full throattle. that's basically what the CL55 will do under the same situation.
