C32 vs C5 vette
a light to light kinda race it was a t-top? vette guy in his late 20's with his blond chic. he has his top off and i have all my windows down and hear him say to his gf "its a 4dr amg, wants to race?!" ..so the light turns green and i have a quarter to half a car lead on him to the next light and then turns and says "DAMN THATS A QUICK CAR!" ..i replied "ya man it's not that bad"
10 seconds later my cell rings and my buddy says "did i just see you beat a vette!!!!!" ...it was pretty funny ..guess i caught the vettes attn in the first place cause at the light before he was a couple cars back diagonal so he probably saw my badges and raced up to line up with me

The C32 and the clk 430 are nice cars but i like the corvette because its a sports car the 430 dosent have to power to compeat with the z06 and i dont think the C32 has the handeling of a z06 i like the z06 because its fast and cheap $ for what it can do.

I agree aswell! Silver 02CLK430 sport package with those blue tints with the grey leather int!!
What is the proper term for those blue tint windows I've seen on CLKs?

Nice Kill.............but do you guys stereotype every one that doesn't own a MB?? I'm just hanging around waiting on a tech question on my dad's 380 SL.............but I'd say that Vette you ran was either bone stock or the guy couldn't drive. I have nothing more that a cold air intake and I'm running consistant 12.5's @110. Z06's are in the high 11's with nothing more than bolt ones and a decent driver.

only 1 person (SoCal) said anything against a vette everyone else praised the corvette's ability.

Actually, the Blue-tinted windows are called as such. They come with the CLK 430s.
I have no problems with the Corvette, just like I have no problems with a Honda Prelude and 120-Hp shot of NOS or an Intergra GS-R with a GReddy Turbo Kit.
The point is I want something that is fast, plus has the luxury appointments to be a true contender.
The Z06 is a bargain at $50K. But the winning is so much sweeter in a C32 AMG!

Hey Roozy,
My stepbrother has a nicely modded C5 that I don't find easy in my C32. Last race was before my pulley, and I had the 200lbs extra in my car (my brother-in law) It was close but he had a little more go-go than me.
However I suppose with pulleys and no extra weight, maybe my win. I think stock a C5 and C32 is usually close, with some advantage to C5.
Did the C5 fans see the suspension discussion in C&D this month?
Seemed very thorough. Corvette has basically 4 OEM options to choose from, quite nice.
