But lets put the odds in your favor: Say you get a quick launch, and (assuming the driver of the CL was an idiot) let's say that he lost about .90 off his 60' time because of his wheel spin and the lag from his ESP. He would still pull through first and second (even if you had good throws) and at LEAST be head to head with you by 60mph. From there, the CL pulls away. My guess is either you're full of **** and are about to be schooled by a real AMG, or the guy you raced was really in a CL500 badged CL55. But thats a different story...
I am done talking. Get me the three cars that claim to be faster than me, and I will race them all (C55, CLK55, and CL55). I will race them after the holiday sometime next week. I am sure there are a few guys with these cars who wants to have some fun with an M5.
