Re: Mercedes 550 CLK
You mean the TT E550?, CLK out of production since 09
My wife has an E550; 380hp 13.1 1/4 mile If you ran into a CLK63 or a black series, those are 11.9-12.3 cars.....

Re: Mercedes 550 CLK
Are you saying that you were asleep at the wheel? Those turbos take time to spool up. Stock 405 vs 550 plus. The Z still did not fade, she just could not close the gap.

Re: Mercedes 550 CLK
That was the 1.2 seconds where you were sleeping. Once you heard those turbos whining you were wide awake.

Re: Mercedes 550 CLK
2009 or so SL550 is 493 hp supercharged. They run about like a ZR-1 with a chip and cat-back. Don't let any of those kind of cars get the jump on the race. I pulled about 6 inches on one up to about 90 mph
(putting headers on as we speak) |
