Any W211's in/near Boca Raton, FL want to make some easy $ against an M5??
With the Turbo, I never claimed to beat a Turbo. The guy with the turbo is a friend of mine. I pulled him slightly down low through second. He came back through third, and then ran away pretty good after one hundred. This happened three straight times. We went from a 20 roll.
I never said anything about the E55 or the SL55. If anyone with a stock CL55 wants to race me, I will definitely do it. I will also race a CLK55 or a C55 since both of these claim to beat M5's. I'm not here to create enemies with any of you. I just told you a story of what happened one day when I was driving around town. I respect AMG cars and think they are great cars as is the M5.
I don't care if you made it up...
What sucks is the hideously immature way you handled yourself on the m5board.
“Only old people drive AMG’s….”
“We all talk **** over here…..”
We had a thread a week or so ago about avg age here, and it is low 30’s way lower than the 40 – 50 BMW claims for the M5. If you look at our sigs most of us have a bmw, vette, porsche, or other car for the twisties, so it’s not like we are of a singular brand.
The way you kept talking about your “boys” and their modded cars…
Fight your own battles, he called you and no one else a liar, he said your car couldn’t take a CL55, not that no BMW could. Somewhere in the world there’s an ’85 chevette modded to smoke us all, proves nothing.
For what it's worth, the story is actually plausible, great job on the kill, now grow up and learn to conduct yourself in a manner commiserate with the fine automobile your drive

The Best of Mercedes & AMG





I told him that this is basically the same thing as a 330ci driver claiming he'd hung with an M3 or an M5 until 110 mph, and he got all indignant, saying that a 330ci should not be mentioned in the same sentence as the M5, lol! Yet as I demonstrated to him here, the tested times between the 330ci and M5 are actually *closer* than the CL55 and M5!
In this same thread, I also provided him to the Car & Driver comparo of the E55 and M5, with quotes from the authors about how the E55 would simply leave the M5 behind. Again, to no avail.
It's just ridiculous.
But the main thing to keep in mind is that after talking sh*t for fifteen threads and accusing the AMG owners of not having the ***** to show up, when one did, he suddenly had other plans!
CHICKEN OUT!!! <= His homepage!!

improviz, don't sweat this man, you are putting too muche ffort into this. There will always be trolls around (not saying you are apk) don't wast your time with them.
And forum readers, note his evasion. Since nobody from the CL55 AMG forum has yet bothered to waste any time proving to this guy what can be proven by anyone who reads a car magazine, he's still zeroing on on *only* the CL55. Why? Because he can beat it? No. Because he thinks no one will accept his challenge, because no one has so far. If someone does, he'll back out of it, just like he backed out of running the E55 tonight.
Further, as I have pointed out to him four times now (i.e. he knows this, yet continues to lie about it): The challenge I originally made to apk1013, and the one which he accepted, clearly stated CL55, OR SL55, OR E55:
Do tell, because I've already posted an invite on the MB forum. Let's see you back it up, because I don't believe it.
Oh, and just for good measure, would you also care to extend the invitation to the Turbo Porsche forums as well? This should be good for a laugh.
So, unless he's the most unintelligent person to ever have walked the face of the earth, he understands that if he can beat a CL55, then he can beat an SL55 or E55. We are not talking rocket science here, apk1310.
But by intentionally splitting hairs, he's trying to give the impression that he's still confident that he can beat the CL55--but oh, me, oh, my, he never, never, ever said he could beat an E55 or SL55.
So, he *can* beat the CL55 AMG, which runs a 12.4 1/4 mile...but he *can't* beat the E55 AMG---which runs a 12.4 second 1/4 mile. Just like he could beat a 911 Turbo from 20-100 mph, three times.

But oh, wait: he flip-flopped: first, he said he could beat the CL55, then he said he couldn't, and now he's acting like he can again...more waffles than a House of Pancakes!
This is so ridiculous and unbelievable as to defy all common sense and logic, but like a proverbial Energizer bunny of non sequiturs and false claims, he just keeps going, and going, and going...

AND, as I've pointed out to him on at least four occasions now, the E55, SL55, and CL55 are about the same weight, have the same motor, same gearing, same driveline. Finally, in this thread, I pointed out to him that Motor Trend tested the CL55 AMG and the E55 AMG, and the cars were 0.01 seconds apart in the 1/4 mile.

Once something happens (like a little drag), ones brain can get very creative, especially in the humid climate there
.APK1013, are you one of those people who causes accidents on Glades and Palmetto dragging? I hope not, but I sure hope you can put all this crap talk to rest and prove something. Just show up and get it over with, you might win
. I bet you wish you never would have posted that KILL story

Uhhh ooohh

By the way, I have never caused any accidents yet in my life. I was actually once lightly hit by an older lady that just switched lanes without looking. No big deal. I will race after Thanksgiving I said 500 times. What is so complicated about this.
The other thing that I said is that I want to race the car you guys say I lied about. If you did live in Boca, I am sure you know there are plenty of CL55's in the area. Probably more than E55's. You are telling me that not one of them is willing to have a couple of friendly runs with a liar that they can easily smoke. By the way, my kill story was up for about 3 months before Improviz came around and started all of this crap.

But when push came to shove, we all know what happened:
I never called you out in any of my posts. I said I want to race a CL55, not an E55. I have never raced and E55, and I have never claimed to be faster than one. I think the E is faster than the CL regardless of the times that have been presented. All I know is that a modded CL ran a 13.1 then a 12.8. I think I can compete with these kinds of numbers. It is an automatic so the driver doesn't make that much of a difference. By the way, Car and Driver tested a Rentech CL55 at 12.7 themselves.
