Raced a Silver CLS500 from a dead stop and smoked it It started to gain at about 60 but i pulled on it at 80. Sorry thought i would share this quick story hahaha.. He said my car sounded like it was supercharged. When i told him it wasn't he said he was amazed by how it sounds like it. He was asking me about my exhaust and if my car was a Kompressor. Haha i didn't want to tell him it was an ebay one After we slowed down a cop passed us on the opposite side. Close one but yet sooo fun =)

Modded 320 smoked a 500 lol good day today

Also raced a scion TC which also was eatin for lunch today.. He told me to debadged my car.. I was like ill keep it on to let people know what they got handed down by. LOL

phister

why havent you started your own car thread so you can put all this under in it...

Xhale707

Your right Phister i will make one.

phister

lol just makes keeping up with each member easier.

Maybe the 500 wasn't trying..

Xhale707

Lol he wouldn't have rolled down his window to ask me what i have on my car. this isnt the first cls either. Close call on an all blacked out one in dana point. I bet if i tossed my chick out i would have walked on him.

I raced one not too long ago. Rolling and I took it real good. Then we came to a red light and it was a whole different story (even). Those 500s are pretty torquey.

Not shyt talking but I'm surprised you smoked one because they really move. Off the line I even had a hard time shaking off an S500 (half a car).

Good Job

chris.bachman

What exactly have you done to boost the performance of your C320 enough that you smoked a CLS500?

samaritrey

In my dads g8 gt i took a cls550 but in my c320 i would have been miles back. As for a cls500 I have never driven one or raced one so have no clue. But i suspect he was not trying to hard.

Xhale707

Modded Air box / K & N Filters / resonator del / After market muffler / Upgraded wire pack / Upgraded 4 Prong spark plugs that were almost 10 dollars a plug. / Removed spare tire / Different rims / esp off / Im sure there is more just can't think of it right now.

My girl was in the car when i raced an all blacked out one in dana point. So she is my witness haha Wish i had my video camera im gonna start carrying it more now. Tons of people try and race me now dunno why lol

Anyone around North SD wanna have some fun hit me up =)
Looking to eat some more =)

Xhale707

Yeah i don't know if rolling i could take it. I know from a dead stop my car takes off. I can chirp tires from shifting from first to second now

C230 Sport Coup

Chirp on 2nd?
Is this manual or auto.
Surprised you can get anything extra out of the 215 hp stock engine.
Other than underdrive pullies and the C32 airbox, I never knew there was much to be done on these,
or add a Kleeman SC kit.

My 2002 w/ mods keeps up with my GF's ML350 w/ the 272HP engine and 7 speed tranny.
I'm guessing I get around 240HP at the crank but too cheap to
dyno.
Doubt I'd keep up or beat a CLS.
I don't race people so can't say.
The guy's car must be hosed.

Xhale707

The dude had huge chrome rims on his cls i know that will have a little play in his power loss.

I gutted the inside of the stock air box. Which i believe may be bigger then the C32 because there is more volume. After i removed all the fins inside the air box I felt a big power increase from 3k to 6k. I will take pictures later on to show what i did. I don't feel like takin the air box off and unscrewing everything lol. Its an auto but i use the tronic shifting.

Isn't there a pully kit for the c320?

I dont think there is an NA m112 with ALL of these mods, but the XF guys have seen ~225whp already w/ a combination of some of these mods, but not all of these mods.. Not bad if ya ask me I obviously forum ***** too much for any/everything involving this car of mine....

Stock for stock:

06 CLS 500 = 6.0-6.1 depending upon the review. 02 C320 is 7.4-7.6, also depending upon the review. I looked at Car & Driver as well as Edmunds. I'd say you were racing, but the CLS was not. But, it's still good fun.

W203E35

Well the CLS500 is a 14 second car and it traps at 99. The C320 is a mid 15 second car and traps 87.

Granted this C320 is modded how much hp has been gained from stock 215hp and 221tq? Benefit of doubt lets say 30hp (no way but lets just say). 245hp and 251tq vs 306hp and 339tq.


3450 / 245hp = .0710
4048 / 306hp= .0755

3450 / 251tq = .0727
4048 / 339tq = .0837

Even with the extra 30hp and 30tq we gave you the CLS still has the advantage especially off the line. A very huge advantage off the line.

He really pulled down his window and asked you what you have? I usually get the thumbs up or give the thumbs up and that's that.

It was an impromptu stoplight grand prix. Anything can happen.

Let him savor his kill!

Xhale707

Yeah he kept asking if my car was supercharged he said he was amazed by how much it sounds like it. Gave me a thumbs up. I know he was racing because we both took off & left everyone in the past.

I know the facts say the 320 0-60 is 7 seconds But i swear mine gets there so much faster.

I think i need to go to the track and trap my real times.

But Isn't the Gearing on our cars is way different?

Gotta Remember weight is a HUGE factor.

I raced a 1.8 turbo charged GTI modded on the way home from shopping. Dead even until about 60 were i was starting to walk on him got up to about 100 and then slowed down. & Raced again with the same results. He said his motor was built but i don't know how much?

Wish i had my camera. Def going to take it out more just need to find a spot to mount it

How much do the stock GTI's have? I know some are different he said his was stage 2 whatever that means

waiting for pics of how to do the airbox, I've been thinking of doing this for quite some time

splinter

Why not go to Qualcomm and see what it’ll do?

phister

if you open your air box where your filters are and look at the bottom portion of the box theres little fins lining the bottom of the box. Just take a dremel tool or whatever you have that can cut it and remove it all, it'll smooth out the airflow supposedly.

carbonfiberwhor

Sounds basic, but have you guys seen any real improvements or are they just psychological?

W203E35

Yes weight is a huge factor and so is the 100 more tq he has on you. He has you beat on power to weight both hp and tq. Like I mentioned before I myself have a hard time going up against the CLS500 and I can't imagine you being able to "smoke" a CLS500.

Watch this video. No way your car can take these cars....sorry.

Most likely the CLS500 has like 22" wheels on it lol

Still like all of his stories but always forgets his camera. Dont you have a camera phone and couldn't your gf have recorded it on her phone?
