CLK240 Avantgarde
Kinda depends on which flavour of TT your friend has...
I presume you mean in your CLK320? Although the 320 has a quoted similar power output as the TT (albeit about 7bhp less than on the 225), the TT is lighter and IMO has better acceleration. My previous car was a 225TT and I was very pleased with its acceleration. A lot comes down to how good the driver is but my money would be on the TT. If it was on a wet surface there'd be no contest - the TT should easily pull ahead and feel more surefooted.
[Can't speak for the beamer... never had one].
Be careful out there

I think you will lose to the TT and beat the 330 (or at least nose to nose) from 0-60. The TT has better grip becuase of Quattro and the car is lighter. BMWs are never meant to be 0-60 cars (except Ms). You will start to pull away from the TT. The 330, nose to nose all the way.

Correct me CLK320 need shift to 3rd gear when doing 0~60
while Bimmer only takes 2 , that's 0.5" at least
None of C320 members here has ever beat BMW330
You're even a little more weight than C320.
Story will be totally different in a CLK500

Alexyu can you beat them with the S/C in you car???

Of course, if I can't beat them with my current setup, what's the point for me to spend the money.
If we only look at the stock setting, to be frankly, I really don't think that CLK 320 could beat these two cars....

i have to agree with everyone here...the TT is real fast you could easily take the 180hp version but the 225 is really really fast...i have both a 2003 clk320 and a 2002 c230komp and i gotta tell you that my c coupe feels faster. i used to have a 1999 clk320 and that thing is much faster then my 2003. completely different cars IMO. the 330ci will be a very close...prob all depending on how fast your reaction time is and how good of a driver the 330ci driver is. if you do decide to race them let us now how it goes.
p.s. i think its time you stop in a kleemann or renntech or brabus and get some new engine mods...then go and race your friends...i would love to see their faces when they get burned
