And as the above post stated a G35=CLK 430 until high speeds when the larger V-8 opens up.
Don't sleep, very swift cars, the G35

And with the 2007 G coming out with well over 300hp, C & CLK class cars won't have a chance. You'll need an AMG to beat it.

Stick G35's are quick with the proper drivers. But since I've only raced them with the big white thing in my sig I won't discuss the details.

Just to redeem myself, let me just point out that the CLK550 will have 382 horses

Well, the car could have been a five speed....but I was still thinking of a six!

Yeah, but if past experience is any indicator, they'll probably derate it so that it doesn't have the same HP as the S...although waitaminute, they may not, as I don't think they do this on non-AMG models, so it may be 382 after all!

No offense, but I really think it is the G35 driver error that cost the race. CLK320 is not only heavy but also slow. I've seen members from other MB forum trying to tell the world that they beat my debagged C55 with stage 2 mods.
As with my Subaru STi @ 425WHP, I almost lost to a CLS55 because I was dicking around toying with the guy off of the start. Not to discredit your story, but if it was a CLK55, the kill will be more believable.
