anybody raced E92 M3 with their CLK550?
#26
How were you driving it? The E92's in my driving experience are like a Civic(much more powerfurl) but you gotta get the revs up in order to get it going...DD'ing and low end they are no fun.

2005 CLK500
I drove both the M-DCT sequential auto and full 6 speed manual tranny M3's and I drove them both hard as anything. They are just laggy. I drive the **** out of cars, I'll kick them out sideways, downshift like hell, whatever I need to do to feel the power and this car was just weak.

There are a few cool people here on Mbworld but blind fanboys like yourself are sad to see.
It doesn't perform? The freaking thing has run 11's and low 12's with just bolt on's. It has trapped 114 stock. It will run circles around you on the track.
It dynos more to the wheels and weighs less with a much faster transmission, I mean, is this really difficult?
It isn't even a race, and if you were not on the other side of the country you would get a reality check:

550 beat the **** out of it, LOL, let me know when you wake up from that dream.

Post your 60-130 numbers.
Post your dyno numbers
Post your slip.
I can park next to plenty of cars and say I trounced them as well. LOL, are you serious with this? Let me guess, you beat the plane too? You really think anyone believes you?

No sense in arguing if you beat someone or not. That's the great thing about car racing.... people have to drive; sometimes people don't know how to drive.
Buuuutttttttt just for arguments sake....

that being said, i've never raced one so this to me is all theory. But a theory i'll believe until someone with a clk550 spanks me from 40 to 120.

I did race someone with a MB this past friday. i didn't see what model it was, the guy had a trophy wife (which is why i wasn't looking at the car) but he jumped off the light unexpectedly; i spun, feathered off, finally got in second, spun half of that, hooked up and i was about 2 lengths in front when i hit 3rd, by the time i hit 4th i was train lengths ahead. However, it could have been a C32 for that matter, but it did look larger.

If you read the original post i was just asking if anybody else had the same experience.
You saying photos dont prove anything i am not trying to. I just thought i show the actual cars.
Filming a race would not prove anything....
I am sure you would say that the M3 was not racing.
But as I said: Anytime you want to go for a run, bring it!

No offense, your 550 is not worth my time, even when I had bolt on's, but I'm sure there are M3 owners in your area who would be more than happy to show you how it really is.
All the real world evidence, 1/4 mile times, 60-130 numbers, actual facts, show that your story is... just a story.

No one else had the same experience because no one else was high.

I though I explained why a video might be not sufficient enough to prove anything.
If 550 not worth your time why are you even replying to CLK forum threads
? lol
Lighten up man!
#44
Why? Because forums are a source of information and you should be providing the correct information not tall tales.
A video won't prove anything? Uh, ok. I guess timeslips, dynos, and 60-130's won't either.
I think you may need to relax bad

Now this is where you guys get mad at me... cause not only does this car perform, but as a drivers car, it out performs just about any MB. Not drag racing mind you, cause AMG makes some SICK motors; but as a drivers car, there isn't much of a comparison.
I agree.

Yes, M3 is a drivers car
Yes, M3 beats CLK on track by far
Yes CLK tops out at 133Mph
But all I was saying is that CLK 550 beats M3 in a rolling start drag race.
I am not even trying to prove anything I am just trying to see if others had the same experiences.

I believe the same. The clk 550 deff beats a number of cars out there in a rolling drag race. when it comes to that its a monster. no finesse required.
#50
Anyway if all you bmw enthusiasts out there really wanna be fair, comparing a clk 550 to the m3 is a little too open for argumnets. whats the next best thing?? the 63. the clk 63 would destroy the m3. 1/4, track whatever. so whats the points here..?? mb makes better cars loll
