The TT 550 CLK Mercedes got the jump on the 94 stocker and we were unable to reel him in guy's. Oh the humiliation.

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.....

CLS 550 Bi-Turbo

Zero to 60 mph: 4.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.3 sec


He got the jump (4.7 0-60) plus took off w/o notice and I couldn't close the gap.

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.

That was the 1.2 seconds where you were sleeping. Once you heard those turbos whining you were wide awake.

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)
