Sunny day, dry conditions... lined up with a bright red Ferrari F355 Spider with the top down. Damn that is a nice looking car. One of my favorite Ferrari body styles other than the F40. Couldn't resist the urge to race. Off the line it was pretty even, but within a few hundred feet the C55 was starting to pull away slowly. By about 2 blocks we were a car ahead. Lined up at the next light and wanted to go again, but the driver of the F355 didn't want to race anymore. Gave him the thumbs up anyway.

Nice run. The spyder (especially F-1) is probably going to lose to a C55. A 6spd berlinetta would've given you a run for your money.

mthomas141

whats the 0-60 on a C55 anyways? I know mercedes says its 4.9 which is the same as the C32 and that cant be right.

blazinginder

the 55 & 32 do both have the same HP...so i think its reasonable estimate though I'd think the C55 may be slightly faster

Nice kill... Hopefully after I am out of the dog house with "Woman" I can convince her to line up with the E60M5 in my C55 in a straight line.

The C55's 5.4L V8 has 362HP and 376lb-ft torque.
The C32's supercharged 3.2L V6 has 349HP and 332lb-ft torque.

0-60 and 1/4 miles times are similar, with a slight edge to the C55 in most cases.

Nonetheless, nice list of kills, chucknorris!!

Holson

Nice!

I do agree with you on the 355's looks! It's probably my favorite Ferrari (one I'd get if I had spare cash), though the F430 is quickly becoming a favorite

BTW, it must've been musical when you were racing....

Stiggs

Hey Norris......how do you know the exact years of all these cars you've killed?

newton22

What kind of mods do you have chuck?

Thericker

Hey Chuck N. I bet if David Caridean were driving any of those cars in your sig he would've kicked your *** (for those who don't know-David C. was "Grasshoppa" of Kung Fu TV show)
Was Bruce Lee driving the Viper?

Just kidding around, Nice kills

Personally, althoough I think the 355 is one of the prettier and timeless Ferraris in existance, I would never buy one. The 355 has extremely expensive and difficult maintenance (compared to the 360 and the F430). I'd rather go for an F430.

The F355 Spider looks so damn F good that I would not want to race if i had one. Why race and go by in a blur when you can cruise and lap up the adulation?

"A kill is a kill" so they say (interesting list btw), but it's worth pointing out (again) that the F355 Spider is not only a cabrio but also 10 years old.

chucknorris

Very true. I don't think the owner thought we stood a chance. Maybe he hadn't seen a C55 before.

newton22: The C55 has zero mods. Hopefully that will soon change.

Stiggs: I actually don't know the exact year of every car. I just selected a year within the range of the particular model's production.

XPRO.US

Nevertheless.... Nice Kill!!!!

toro4me

under 100, F355 spider *should* still be a bit faster, but only if he knows how to drive.
if you races him on highend, 100-160, he should walk u.

chucknorris

Yeah, I agree that under ideal conditions it would be pretty close up to 100, but above that the weight difference and higher end power of the Ferrari should give it the advantage.

It would take a workover from Kleemann to give the c55 enough power to compete with any of the new 911s or Italians.

HLG600

Nice kill. But I am curious, are you sure the S55 was a 2004. The reason I say this is because the 2004 model came with the AMG Kompressor Motor, hence I am a little surprised that a C55 N/A outran an S55 SC.

LOL... stop your dirty minds

Even a Ferrari wants to kiss her a$$....

Thericker

That cracked me up!

AsianML

Wanna clue us in as to who she is? Thanks.

Thericker

MMM430

NICE BUMPERS........THOSE THINGS AMG?

Scoop55

What's she doing with her right hand?

Norris: Impressive list of kills, bro! Bet the driver of the F shat his pants when he saw the little MB walk on him.
