Not saying lie...just mis-identified a car or two perhaps, combined with some horrible drivers maybe.
For example,
GT500, was actually a Shelby GT.
He noted the G8 as a GTP when in fact it is a GXP. So my guess it is a regular GT.
The ISF was a IS350 with an F kit. Etc.
Some of those are very hard to believe. I mean E90 M3's can run with C63's. If anything he beat the driver.
Maybe they all start in 4th gear for those 30mph rolls.
Unless I completely missed he has a 150 wet shot installed.

I frequent the drag strip often.
I have seen bolt on IS350's run low 13s. So yes I would believe that more than a CLK550 walking an IS-F. When I was drag racing my W208 CLK55, the modded IS350s were right with me.
I have personally seen an IS-Fs trap 115mph stock.
Are you saying a CLK550 can out trap 115mph?
Would love to see some 1320 ET/MPH for this CLK550.

C55 AMG, CLK550
The C55 is just a bit closer to my heart really! I think my C55 (stock) is a little faster than my CLK550 (which is also stock)!

I never said I destroyed all those cars, ISF was half a car to one car behind me
Im not even debating the m3 thing again.
the only one i will agree with you on was that it was a G8 GT not GTP. That was my mistake. I think ive only seen one GT GXP ever. Id run one if i had the chance

If you are pulling on these cars your traps have to be over 110. What all do you have done?
The GT500 is a hard car to drive, especially if the person is not used to it. Hard clutch, etc. So you may have beaten the driver. But give a properly driven GT500, I can't see a lightly modded CLK550 beating it.
A guy a ran into at the strip had a new 08 GT500, when I had my 03 Cobra. We were even in ET's, but he was out trapping me. Both stock. We ran into each other again. Still stock he was running 12.4's@116. Seat time made a world of difference.

Driver completes the car, if he can't drive his car that is his problem that's how i see it.
kbahl21 only claims what cars he raced and beat, he didn't go and ask the driver if he has a certificate of knowing how to drive his car like a pro.
If you ask any driver that's been driving stick for some time the reply will be 99% of the time I AM VERY GOOD AT DRIVING STICK.

Until I see some ET's and MPH's from an actual drag strip, these seem like fish stories to me.

Cars like clk550 seem to be faster on Roll starts instead of dead stop.

Looks like the CLK550 gets walked by a "supercharged" SN95 stang. I am assuming it was a GT. Hard to tell in the vid. You know those things run 15's stock?
Unless really built a stock GT500 would beat this car. Yet a CLK550 walks a GT500? To give you an idea, here is a supercharged "edge" mustang by saleen. This car started with 35-45 hp more than a SN95 GT.

13.8@103, it is on the slower end though.
I never doubted a CLK550 could beat an E46 M3. My 2001 M3 would trap 105 in good weather. A CLK550 can definitely out do that.

Any 1/4mi times for this stang?BTW: A stock GT500 puts down over 450 to the wheels stock.
"481.85 rwhp & 472.61 rwtq SAE corrected Bone Stock."

The GT500 is just in a different league than CLK550. I would bet he raced a 08 Shelby GT. That is believable and I could see a non mustang guy mistake it for one.

Dyno numbers aside, no a stock GT500 is not in the CLK550 range.
How many CLK550's have run mid 12's @115+ stock? ZERO. Driver's equal, the CLK550 doesn't stand a chance.
I know a stock GT500 would walk my car hard, why can't you except the fact it would do the same to a 550?
