Had a friendly discussion with a brother - CLK 55

Late in the evening, I saw a CLK 55 coupe moving around rather vigorously on the roads of Mexico. I decided to follow, in which we passed each other repeatedly until we were able to find a light.

At said light, we took off. I pulled ahead of him in a pretty solid fashion. He was pretty shocked and impressed after the race was over. Thumbs up and respect was given both ways, and we headed off.

thats how it should be, rather than the sour puss look most people have when they're behind you.

c32


i would hope that tuned 32s would beat stock 55s.

you think my stock 32 has a chance against a w210 e55 with exhaust work done?

Almost everywhere I looked said the stock W210 E55 does the 1/4 mile in 13.3 seconds

So I would say the Stock C32 stands a good chance vs the Stock W210 E55 now if you start throwing mods into the equation on either end I believe one would start to walk the other.
