Hey, Monkey: here's what you wrote:

Nice try though.

Here is Sport Auto's video of this comparison test (overdubbed in English), which I have provided to M&M on the following occasions:
12/26/2004:
12/28/2004:
12/28/2004, again:
And finally, here, on 12/29/04, a post of mine with the title M&M, why do you keep posting data which has been shown to be false??, wherein I asked him:

2) the 0-200 time was 14.8s for the M5, and 15.5s for the CLS.
So, as I've pointed out before, THE DATA ON THE PAGE YOU KEEP LINKING TO IS FALSE.
However, since you seem hell-bent on not believing the video itself, here is the link to Auto Motor und Sport (AMS)'s comparison of the M5 and CLS55.
And lo and behold: both cars' 0-100 km/h times are 4.7, just like the video said.
Got that? Good. Now please stop posting
links to Internet sites with typos.

So explain this:
Evo magazine tests E55 AMG: 0-60 in 4.8, 0-100 in 10.2, 0-150 in 22.8.
Evo magazine tests E60 M5: 0-60 in 5.0, 0-100 in 10.4, 0-150 in 22.9.
And oh, wow, they ran the 1/4 in 13.2@116!! Woo-hoo!!

Both of you guys stop. I'm going to close this thread. I want both Improviz and M&M to PM me, we're going to try to get a conclusion among the three of us that is satisfactory, the rest of the world doesn't need to know yalls beef.
Again, Improviz and M&M PM me when you have a chance. We'll try to setup a chat between the three of us.
If anyone else has any questions on why I closed this thread, feel free to PM me. Have a great day
