What have you lost to?
I love all these stories about how the almighty Benzes leave every car they race in a cloud of embarrassing dust, or pull away at the very last second....
but I never see anyone post their losses.
I have a C Class, so I already know my car loses to '92 Luminas and Chevy cargo vans, but what has everyone else lost to?
Now I know any ///AMG car can wallop Kenny Bernstein in a Top Fuel dragster, but it would be close for Kenny, no?
C'mon there HAS to be losses, aside from the AMG's all C's E's S's and CLK's are pretty slow...V8 or not.

when I had a 5 series I lost to a mitizubishi 3000 turbo. I wupped me pretty badly on the highway. Luckly I ran into one on the highway that didn't appear to be modded or heavily modded anyway and it was nothin.

Got my *** handed to me by a 540 while i was driving ES 300.. I did it for ****s and giggles as I knew what the outcome would have been.. I also had 2 more people in the car. It wasn't even close obviously!!!
It was a really good laugh though!!

seriously, c'mon AMG guys...what have you lost to?
I don't want to hear "Oh i lost to a Civic, but that was in my Infiniti I35 loaner"
If you never lose, you ain't racing any real competition. C32's and E55's lose to plenty of cars at the track....lets hear the stories.

My car's not an AMG but before I supercharged it I would get spanked by STI's, Evo's, F-150 Lightnings, Camaro SS's, Firebird WS-6's, E46 M3's tons of stuff. I didn't even like racing after a while. Not anymore though. ;0)

I lost to a 1996-1999 2dr Ford Explorer in a 1987 420SEL. Off the line while flooring the pedal, pressing the kick down button, the Explorer just walked me. Those Explorers are quicker than I thought. By the way, the 420SEL acceleration times are around 8.7 seconds from 0-60 miles and 16.1 seconds for the quarter-mile.

'06 E55, '05 SLK55, a few others
So far, nothing, but that's only because of the blower. There's a modded WRX running around that can pull me for the first 100 feet or so, but after that he's toast.

Whatever keys I grab first...
I lost to another SL600. He pulled off the line first. Drats!
And this Civic, I hadn't finished tieing my shoes-- yet he took off. I think he cheated, I clearly would have been declared the victor.

I should be in the running for a Nobel prize for what i have discovered.
Thru this quick study I have found that rarely does ANY Mercedes lose a race and in the extremely rare event they do...it's to another MB!!!!!!!!! :p
You guys are truly comical......(Actually I know why most won't post true results. They fear the loss would be posted on the forum of another competitors board)
Where are all the E, CLK, C320 owners that lose to Maxima's, Accords, TL's etc???
