W209 55 vs CLA45

got into a nice scuffle with a lightly modded CLA45. I was super Impressed. it sounded awesome. we ran from a 20 and a 40. the 20 roll he pulled about half a car. from 40 I jumped a car and half right away. i stayed out about two cars from him. Id say the cars were reasonably even. if he would have gotten the hit at the same time i did, i don't think either of us would pull on eachother. the first race i had traction on, it bogged me down and threw me in 2nd. he was too far out for me to catch.
he said he had intake, tune and exhaust
my shorty headers cracked so im back to the stock headers. I just have a Jerry tune now.

I thought the Cla45 was going to be faster with the mods. Being it traps 108+ stock.

Speaking from the drivers seat of both cars they each have their strong suits. It's not a good race from a stop, the 45 grips and goes but when rolling they're pretty close. The 45 has the edge with the transmission but it's got nothing on the sound of the V8 in the 55..
