500 vs Hemi?

gonna have a problem with my cousin friend soon, and would like to know, how would i do against a 2006 hemi Charger?

all i have done is exhaust, and he is stock i believe.

any ideas or opinions on how i should approach this or should i just Not do it.



and no, this is not a shot for racing or anything illegal, just a fun rolling stop or a off the line gun down a no traffic street.

Not do it........ Acceleration from a dead stop has never been Mercedes's strong point. Pick a mountain road with lots of corners.. (Helena to Butte, Montana, great stretch of I-15)

I've got it. Like it better than without it but sometimes it can be a little herky-jerky. With my new exhaust I find myself up/down shifting a lot to get the best sound from the mufflers so I notice the sprint booster much more. Kinda aggressive. By the way, put on the AMG trim piece(back bumper) looks awesome...almost looks exactly like the 55 @ss end

Why would you degrade yourself like that.. You have a Benz not a civic or a dodge man.. You outclass a charger parked, leave it at that. Feel me?

Ok, fine. I told you about my SB anyway ...so there. Yeah I'll get some pics for ya. The block shaped quad exhaust will look just fine with it dude. I have the Eisenmann and they are almost round...it doesn't matter...the black trim will look especially hairy on the white CL! Although you could always use up some of that vinyl from your roof and put in on the bumper Didn't the old Buicks have that...or was it Caddy's? Just messin wit ya.
