2001 CL55 0-60
I've been looking up times people have achieved and the lowest I've seen was 0-60 in 5.5s really couldn't find many 0-60 times, only for the supercharged versions. The 2007 SL550 has the same engine but supposedly makes 382HP, and magazines claim to have achieved 0-60 4.9s is it possible my CL55 could achieve low 0-60 in low 5's in the manual shift mode? after all it is 300lbs and or so lighter than the 2007 SL550 and only 20 less HP

Yeah but the CL600 is rated 5.8s on wiki as well, but articles claimed that it has achieved 5.3s and the CL55 (2001) is basically the same car and (The 2007 SL550 has the same engine but supposedly makes 382HP, and magazines claim to have achieved 0-60 4.9s) My CL55 has only 20 less HP and weighs less (than the 07 SL550), so it's logical that my CL55 can achieve low 5's 0-60

As you can see by the actual results of drag strip runs is that the SL550 is considerably quicker than the 2001 CL55 and the CL55 runs the times that are published. http://www.dragtimes.com/compare2.ph...ame=Compare%21

I think 5.8s is a stretch, I don't think the manual mode was tested with that 0-60 time. Manual mode can deduct .5s I highly doubt that SL550 is over a second faster because of a faster transmission, the CL55 shifts almost instantaneously in the manual mode.

Yes, that's where the performance stats and dragtimes run puts it at.

I was basically at a complete stop, and I've read cars at a complete stop achieve a better 0-60 time than from a rolling start, look it up. The needle was clearly at 0 when I gunned it anyways, and the engine wasn't even warmed up, and the roads were wet. I'm sick of your **** BlownV8, its clear that my car can easily achieve sub 5.5s 0-60 times, and I proved it with that video.

Why are you so determined to prove whatever you are trying to prove? Go race a SL550 if you think you can hang. Better yet, go to a drag strip and post something that we can certify as accurate.

Check sig for video if you don't believe me. I'm looking at a CL65 for my next beast so lurking here a bit.
