Ran into this AMG in Daly City today. For an AMG, it sure was slow, I was driving my wife's BMW 330i and smoked it. Is it anyone on this forum? lol

Hey I thought AMG's only came in 55 or 63...? lol

After reading the thread about posers both here on mbworld and the private lounge, it's better to not care so much anymore. Although it's still a fun subject to talk about. You know what you drive, the badging won't change anything.

Maybe my car will perform better if I would remove the zero from 550 and add an AMG badge. Haha jk

It clearly says 500 so it's not an AMG & I doubt a 330i can just smoke a 500. He probably didn't put the effort or doesn't know how to drive-

But we know the OP knew it wasn't a real AMG to begin with, I can tell by his tone that he is just poking fun at this guy.

Your 550 would have walked on him and showed him a Mercedes doesn't need to be an AMG to be a great car or fast. Just as he would have probably been able to pull on the 330i without losing if he knew how to drive or put the effort as elijah said.

the 550 has way more hp than the 500 or 55, they use completely different engines

clk 500 = 302hp

clk 55 = 362 hp

clk 550 = 382 hp

clk 63 = 481 hp

but anyways...we don't need that amg wannabe bashing stuff on this forum...theres already a 200 page thread on the AMG forum devoted to this....


no pretentious BS here..please. we're here cuz we love our clks





and atleast blur the guys license plate out =b

I agree, all CLK's are great for what they are. There is no need to hate on anyone's car.
