It's funny how many people don't understand that racing at the strip is all about launch and 60' times to get amazing ET's. At a roll on the street in completely different. The lambo traps 133 or so stock, I'm pretty certain a 700 plus RWHP Merc can pull of those traps or better, that doesn't mean it would win at a strip.

is gonna out run a Ferrari 360 or Lamborghini Gallardo from a roll to 100 plus numerous times as stated. It just kind of puts a black eye on a thread that was

I'll answer- sure it's possible. What ruins threads like this is when guys start posting fantasy stories. Let me ask you. Do you really think a stock clk cabriolet550 no less

if you go on dragtimes you'll see that there are gallardo running 12.8 and 360s running 12.9 so if i ran 13.1 i dont see how that is a fantasy story?? just becuzz you dont know anything about cars and you think just becuz its a ferrari and lamborghini they are the fastest cars in the world dont mean anything

You're right! I only had an 04 Clk55 coupe (stock) a few years back that would leave any stock clk 550 cab in a trail of dust. I certainly never claimed to have out run any Lambo or Ferrari in a distance. Pleas stop embarrassing yourself with stories of how fast your stock clk550 cabriolet was. Drag times 95% of
Lambo were running low 12's and clk 550 is a mid 13 sec car.

but a moded benz 55k, v12 TT, V8 TT is no joke.
In the states you are all fixated on the 1/4 mile, which is a very controlled environment which can be used to produce impractical road going numbers
We go by the streets and well modded benzs have given the horse and the bull a good beating in some cases. I know because I talk from experience of a large group of car owners we have here
don't know about the clk550 though, as I have not seen it in action

I couldn't agree more, 60-130 is a way better measurement. At the track GTR's are complete beasts, but at a roll on the road they're nowhere near as fast without they're AWD launches helping them. I'm not saying they're not crazy fast and certainly modded ones can be unreal but the track and the street are completely different racing environments!

If only there is an autobahn in the US for me to even try out my non-modded car. But with all these states needing additional funding via speeding tickets, I doubt that will happen.
80mph is pretty much the safe limit for me to go without risking seeing flashing lights behind me.

otakki, I agree. Although I will not advocate breaking any laws there are a number of places in the US and possibly your state that allow for, completely theoretical, safe excess of the limit. For instance, I live in Phoenix and the drive to Vegas includes 100 miles of basically no steering wheel movement. This route also has 20+ miles of visibility and little to no traffic dependent on time/day. I've known a few people to test their limits there based on 'safe' conditions. Again - not advocating those kind of decisions and behavior but boys will be boys.
Interesting side note. Next time anyone goes to the track, put on or buy a heartrate monitor as an experiment. I noticed at 165mph I'm at roughly 135bpm. Crazy, huh.

By the way, that sure is an exciting way to get your heart rate to that needed 80-90% of maximum heart rate. Definitely more fun than exercising in general. I wonder if such increased heart rate will improve cardiovascular condition as with working-out. I could also feel my increased heart rate when I was going faster than allowed. I have a heart rate monitor I use daily for cycling...maybe I'll strap it on next time.

Guys you aren't getting it right let's start all over again, first in the law of physics I have more HP more TQ and I am not exactly driving a G-Wagen! And yes my engine and tranny is fully under warranty from my tuner!
The race, I was driving behind the lambo doing speeds of 120-140km "cruising" when the lambo guy nailed his car I nailed my car just as I heard the thing do it's back shift! I started closing the gap took the lane next to him as I was passing him and after I have got the lead of one car length, I had the chance to see the speedometer where I was at 290km, and if the lambo stopped pushing I think the gap would have been 10 cars at that speed. I believe if a lambo looses a race it doesn't mean the driver does not know how to drive his car! Whenever someone buys a car the first thing is learn how the thing works! Don't blame it on the driver cuz you think my car isn't fast, and the lambo owner is in his early mid 20's so I am sure he will know how the thing works.
I shared my story cuz it's one of a kind I don't expect everyone would believe me, I don't care, I care to be an AMG fanatic I will make a video I promise, I am sure the Aventador would beat me from a dig but I might have a chance to close the gap! But from a roll god bless AMG that Aventadore will look good in my rear view mirror!

lets all be professional about this, there is no need to get all worked up about how realistic or unrealistic a story is. If he says so, let him be. If he's wrong about it, so be it. None of us are 12, almost all of us are adults and we should know how to judge things correctly.
If he is wrong, one of you guys should state it and support him/herself as to why he is wrong. No one should blabber on and on about something they dont know 100% about.
Same goes for the original poster. state it, say whatever you want, but when it comes to serious topics like embarrassing an Aventador. You should know there are going to be people out there to question you, so BACK IT UP.
And if it is true. I would just like to say congrats, if youre making it up, shame on you.
BUT, as for myself and a few other members here on the forum. We like evidence. Find someone with an Aventador and record what you do.
Cheers.

and I wished I could have backed it up with a video but of course it is not possible since I didn't exactly plan it, will plan it hopefully and back it up, I knew people would come back on me on this but I couldn't help not sharing my kill, I am sure if any other member was in my shoes they would come and share the joy of embarrassing an Aventador, I promise you a video will come on to back up my story.

And Im sure you probably did kill an Aventador, but everyone likes videos, and there has got to be some people you can get to that will hook up a race between you and an Aventador. Im just waiting for that day when I do see the video and I can run around telling all the stupid friends I have that know little to nothing about cars and show them the video...
but knowing them they'll probably argue pointlessly like some other people on the forums and say how the Aventador just "wasnt pushing it" And Im with you on the whole "sharing your story" thing. I would have done the same. But, I would probably know (at that moment) and stick my iphone to the window..
Your car is pretty amazing to be pulling away from $380,000+ Lambo...
Have fun with your other kills, and more important than anything- be safe.

i dont see why this is so hard to believe? a gtr with a couple mods can hang with an aventador and ive seen modded amg v8tt hanging with modded gtrs. now imagine a v8tt with upgrade turbos and a long arab road lol 4 wheel drive cars are also not that great at very high speeds, which will explain how the benz passed him at those speeds. matter of fact arent their cls63s running 10 seconds(lambo does 10 seconds too) now with just tune, lsd and a few mods? think bout one that has larger turbos............
