Cool clk500 vs 335i

I have an 06 clk500, my buddy recently bought an 08 335i coupe. after weeks of me egging him on he finally gave in and raced me. we raced a few times, off a 20mph roll i pulled on him the whole race. from a 40 mph roll i destroyed him. and from a standstill, he jumped in front of me real quick but when that 5.0 kicked in after about 3rd gear i was passing him the whole time n i was about 2 or 3 car lengths ahead of him at like 130.
pretty much.. clk500's eat 335's.

LoL this old thread is funny. If the 335i is chipped it would gain +50 because of twin-turbos. But anyways if 335i is true to the paper, CLK 500 should have the upper hand because 335i's peak torque of 300 ft-lb hits at 1.4k RPM while the CLK's peak torque of 339 ft-lb hits 2.7-4.2k RPM. It really depends on driver. Quarter miles times for stock CLK 500 beats 335i stock, but modded 335i is around 11 secs while CLK is 13s.
