CLK55 vs Jeep SRT8

my cuzin just bought the new jeep srt8 the other day and we had a good time testing the cars out.

the jeep has a awesome exhaust note, slightly louder then the clk.

We raced from several different scenarios.


From a stop the outcome was pretty bad. The srt8 completely annihilated the clk55 from light to light and up to 60. That thing is like a bullet from a standstill. No wheelspin and 420hp just powering forward lol.

We then raced from 30-80 and the clk55 had the jeep beat and kept gaining little by little.


we then did a 40- 120 race and we kept even for a bit then i just started to walk away slowly.

All in all from a dig the jeep srt8 will rape any rearwheel drive car light to light, from a highway roll its not as fast as its hyped out to be.

Also got a chance to drive and that gearbox is a complete peice of ****.

so safe to say the na clk55 will dust any stock srt8.
