oh, and this one too....y do these type-s owners swear they could take a 430...im pretty sure i can take a cl-s or tl-s (each pushin a v6 w/ 260)...the newer TLs wit 270 or the new 07 TL-S may be a problem tho...anyone have experience racing a CL-S or TL-S?

99' CLK 320 Coupe
i am a litlle late to this, but i posted beating a 430 as well. and yes, they have an amg kit and wheels. their drivers are just slower because they are so f ing fat and rich that it slows the car down a couple of tenths.
I'm so gawd damn broke its not even funny.

I just posted a reply to this thread, as I was a previous 03' CL-S owner. I tried to clear things up with those ******** over on that forum =)

lol hhaha cool...i was almost driven to create an account and post replies to them but was like ah *** it....
dont get me wrong...they are nice cars though ..i like em and they are quick (my bro has a 1st gen 99 CL modded and we also got a 03 TL ...as seen in my sig)...but i dont think those tl-s or cl-s could really *** wit our 430's....i wonder how a non type-s tl or cl would square up with a clk320 though....they hav 10 hp on the 320 but i dono....
oh and btw ..you already have a response from someone who apparently cant read and thinks your basing your facts on magazines rather than experience....lol...and i think we could give an sl500 a pretty good run for its money...prob lose by a lil bit tho...

Dont base your opinions on mag times. Im sure he beat the CLK430, my uncle has a SL500 and i raced my cousing when he was driving it. The 100k dollar car could not pull on my CL-S with intake and headers. We were pretty much even from 0-100mph. The CLK cant be faster than the SL500.
I dont own the CL-S anymore but it was a 03 5AT and it was no factory freak. Please dont flame on people if you dont have any experience racing one.

that forum I was a member of a few years back is really funny. They ALL think that VTEC is like turbo..... YOu'll hear "wait until my VTEC kicks in..." or "man! i got VTEC! " What they fail to understand is that their cars have a 3.2L V6 , 99% of them which are AUTOMATIC's with a weak-a$$ 2nd and 3rd gear, that only put out 260HP stock.
it's a great daily, comfortable, commuter car though =) I loved my 03' CL-S 6-speed.

But I find it hilarious when people like that go "VTEC ALL THE WAY MAN!" "Yo dawg you better watch out when my VTEC kicks in, it's OVER!"
