here you go 75 wet shot... and still only was able to stay with the C32 and creep up..
now go back to chasing down mustangs and GTO's...
you proved your point and I have proved mine.
you ran a "not properly" tuned C32.

I specifically referred to the car that I used to own as an "SLK32 AMG." I then referred to it as a "32AMG" and said that the C32 AMG is heavier by a couple hundred pounds. Go back and read all the posts. It's all there. Sorry if you have reading comprehension problems.

can you explain this?
stage 1 with a few other goodies.. notice he is missing the headers which yield the most power other than pullies.

What does an SLK32 AMG running 12.6@110 have to do with anything? It's a good 300-400lbs lighter than the C32!

Check this out... A 100% DEAD STOCK 300C SRT-8 running 12.560@111.5. I know this guy personally. The car was 100% bone stock when he ran these numbers. It was at a fast track in good air.

There was nothing wrong with the C32 I raced. Again, you guys really need to come to grips with reality that a stock SRT-8 can trap 110mph in the 1/4 mile and is a little faster than a stage II C32.

So why is it so hard to believe that guys are able to get low to mid 4's 0-60?
You're all haters just because an SRT-8 which I paid $27,500 brand new can beat modded 5 year old Stage II C32s that go for about that price used with 80K miles.
I'll put a MB emblem on my car if it makes you guys feel better about it.

There are others who have gone 12.7 to 12.9 in bone stock SRT-8s, so why is 12.55 so hard to believe? If it's done at a fast track in nice cool sea level air, I can't see how it's so far fetched.
I got my SRT-8 from Performance Dodge in Lincoln, NE. They had all kinds of deals and incentives going on. Plus, I have a buddy who works at Chrysler, so I got even more money off for using his employee number.
I can drive this thing for another 6 months to a year and get ALL of my money back. Can't beat that.

Half second improvment is ALOT when it comes to 1/4mile or any type of racing. From what I've read and heard, stock runs anywhere btw 13.0-13.6..
Unless hes using drag rad or slicks, stocker cannot just shave off 1 - 1.5 sec.

There's no way that SRT-8 is healthy! It must have been unhealthy. It must have had "poor tuning" too. Plus it's probably a really crappy driver and not a "Pro" driver. Lastly, it probably was only running on 7 cylinders.Shame on you for not reading all 5 pages of this thread! Had you been reading this whole thread you would have seen that I actually owned an SLK32 AMG with pullies and drag radials which ran 12.68@109.
What does an SLK32 AMG running 12.6@110 have to do with anything? It's a good 300-400lbs lighter than the C32!

the SRT-8 video vs C32 was a member on this board and they ran two different days..
any crappy driver can drive an auto specially when they do runs from a "ROLL" or even has 2 car lead and gets passed...
watch the video and weep..
we all know you owned a SLK32 AMG nobody is disputing that.

For every video you have, I can dig one out that shows the opposite. In the end, all you're relying on are third party videos and HEARSAY. For all we know, that SRT-8 could have had a 75 shot, but he wasn't spraying on that run. Both Carl and I know that our buddy Will has an SRT-8 with nitrous, but most of the street racing he does with it is off the bottle. With the nitrous, he ran 12.2@117. Do you really think a stage II C32 is trapping 117?
There was nothing wrong with the C32 I raced. Again, you guys really need to come to grips with reality that a stock SRT-8 can trap 110mph in the 1/4 mile and is a little faster than a stage II C32.

waste your time defending your 6.1L engine and MB tranmission..
SRT-8 traps 110 and gets beat my a STage 1 C32 in MExico!!!!
If he was not spraying... he would of been killed even more.
find me another video against C32 and SRT-8 head to head.
You showed me yours and I showed you a video of a board member of Mbworld.
read the words: head to head racing.
Let's not start with the "respectable friend, cousin, relative of mine" at the other forum ran a 11.00 with a bone stock FORD Pinto crap.. stick to the subject.
once more.. head to head C32 vs SRT-8 sedan ...show me more videos.

The guy who ran the 12.5 in the stock SRT-8 is well known on the forums. He's a very reputable and likeable guy. Would you like me to dig up all of the threads?
There are others who have gone 12.7 to 12.9 in bone stock SRT-8s, so why is 12.55 so hard to believe? If it's done at a fast track in nice cool sea level air, I can't see how it's so far fetched.

you are going off the subject..
you said you beat a C32 Stage 2 with your car..
show us more proof of head to head battles. you showed us your video and we have a video from a member of this board killing your beloved SRT-8.
nobody is doubting your friends at the other forum.. just like nobody doubts E55 can run 11's stock and trap 118. Some cars and drivers are better than others.
congrats on the awesome deal of a SRT-8. It must make you feel really proud to know that you have the best bang for the buck.

your chasis is W210 and suspension components and transmission and probably most of the electrical components are all MB.
They are not very reliable... so I won't go there.
One does not buy a german car becuase is reliable.
I believe everything you are telling us, really I do. I read many forums Lexus, Acura, Nissan, Infiniti, BMW and I understand some tracks and conditions are better for obtaining faster times.
But back to original topic, which you like to move away..
please post more C32 vs SRT-8 sedan videos stock vs stock or since you believe a Modded C32 has no chance against a stock SRT-8 please post more of those videos as well.
we are waiting.... your friend at MBworld.
