CLK500 vs modded VW GTI

It was an '03 (I think) silver GTI. The guy had a bigger turbo, intercooler, blow off valve, full exhaust, and it was tuned. I had 3/4 tank of gas and 2 passengers in my car, he had only himself.

We did all sorts of runs. From a 30 roll we were pretty much neck and neck and I pulled maybe a 1/2 length to 120.

40 roll I pulled about 2 or 3 lengths to 130.

From the dig to 135...we stop, I powerbreak with ESP off. I give it gas and ESP totally cuts off my fuel while the GTI screeched away. Even with that loss of power, I finally caught up to him at about 100 and by 135 I beat him by a length.

We did it again from the dig, ESP kills me AGAIN and I wind up beating him by about 3 lengths to 135.

I won every race. His turbo/blow off sounded great, I love hearing turbos spool. It was a fun night that I ended with a nice burnout right on a main road with cops everywhere. Good times...videos to come

Note: The above wasn't actually me. It was a fictional story about my dream to live the life of Paul Walker.

You wont have ESP problems when you get your GTR, just dial up 4500rpm and then sidestep the clutch

02 CLK 55 AMG,09 C63 loaded with P30
The C63 vs the GTR on a roll will be a close race. The GTR will be jacked up to $80k+! The C63 will be a much better deal for only $60k. The new M3 with only 415hp is a little weak.

Yup. But who leaves a GT-R stock? Lol (Mine won't be even close to stock )

I ordered the M3 before specs and reviews came out. The whole car seems pretty weak in general. I'm just worried that when the GT-R comes out it will go for way over sticker price, like Jon said, maybe $80k. The GT-R will give 911 Turbo performance so I am pumped for this car. And it has serious potential if you want to modify it...spring '08 can't come any sooner

Ash, wow, you have 2 Skylines. Props to you bro.

I have read a report somewhere that it was recorded to be slightly faster.

Yup, those modded turbocharged cars are music to my ears.

I should be getting some videos up soon and you'll be able to hear the turbocharged cars in all their glory (along with my badboy V8 musclecar note lol)
