C55 after skid pad exercise
At the Homestead FL AMG Challenge on Friday we all got to abuse 4 new C55's on the skidpad and during practicing evasive maneuvers. The C55's were covered in atomized rubber. Check it out!

just curious to see how you thought the C55 handled compared to the big boys? i know it will get killed in straightline but twist and turns should have been fun. thanks!

On Friday, the C55s were only used on the skid pad and "evasive" skills sessions. No high-speed stuff.
With the great power of the C55, it was very easy to hang the tail out and even "drift" it around in a circle.
The car is very predictible.

How about a little narrative on the event, I'm signed up for the Road America event, was it worth it? What cars did you drive?
