Smoked a C55 with my C32

Smoked a really fine Cohiba 5.5 Cuban today leaning against my C32 while watching the Pacific surf. Such a pleasant experience. . .

On a more pertinent note. . . let's get the first (broken in) Orange or San Diego county C55 up to Carlsbad Raceway with some stock and modified C32s to answer the question everyone is asking! I'm game whenever one of you C55 lucky stiffs is ready. My ante is a good Cuban.

Porsche Turbo Stage 4, Cayenne S ... gone C43, C32, ML55 & Ducati 999.
even with a C55 with kleemann SC in a 1/4 mile race vs. a 420 hp 430tq C32 will be really close. The problem that I had with my C was the traction and I think that the C55 will not have much more to offer than the C32....you need 275 radial tires to get a good start.

For me the C32 will stat better and at the end of the 1/4 mile the C55 SC will pass. (using 255 tires)

i drove the C55 AMG when it got here for the F1 event, and i have to admit.. it certainly feels like its pulling harder than the supercharged C32 AMG!
