Yesterday, I was driving my dads 05 SL500, due to the fact that my car is currently in the shop. I was getting on to the 5 freeway in OC.

All of a sudden, I see a charcoal 03 or 04 "E55 AMG" pull right in front of me in the next lane. It actually looked pretty decent, it had a full lorinser kit including the fenders. It also had 20 inch staggered setup in black. From first impression, this was a pretty clean E55.

So finally, we pull up next to each other at the red light on the on ramp. Just for ****s and giggles, when the light turned green, I floored it, and ironically, so did he. Keep in mind, this is a bone stock SL500 with big Lowenharts on it.
I beat him, and boy I beat him bad. I was confused

Finally, he catches up to me about a minute later, and passed me.
As he passed me, I finally saw his brakes. only then I realized he had E320 brakes, painted red, and boy, was that funny. He must of felt like a real jack ***. I just thought Id share that with everybody, beacuse it was so dang funny.

The worst part is, the car looked really clean with the kit and everything, why go ruin it and put e55 AMG badge on the back Right away, it reminded me of that snoopdizzle guy

Did it also have the quad pipes on the back? With all the "AMG" conversion he did he could've probably bought a decent used one. LOL

not surprising in OC. Probably someone maxed out his credit card on his car, since he barely has enough money to cover rent for his apartment.

He did have the quad pipes, Thats why Iwas so confused.

Youre right, he probably could have gotten the real deal, with all the money he spent on it.

Lol, not surprised at all. I saw couple of phonies on Westminster thinking they're slick with fake badges.

Can I please change your subject title to "Faux E55 Kill" so that the internet riots do not occur

Oh in the OC- there are several poser units rolling- yesterday I saw a CL with V8 Kompressor badges on the side and CL55 badges in the rear but it only had single exhausts on each end- it was a pre 2003 CL55 or post 2002 CL500.

Blue_Monster

Thats funny, you can change the name, I wasnt sure what to call it.
For some reason, I see a lot of CL cars like that around here too. The Cl 500 is a nice car just the way it is. I dont understand it either. Be happy you got the CL, and foget about it.

Love that terminology!

Don't understand the mentality behind it. If they're so concerned with a badge, they should be a beaten up old Ferrari or something so they can name drop in bars

Oh, Especially Westminster

That's typical for ya in OC...

And the quad exhaust is nothing more than the tips...

I just dont understand it... The people who are going to be impressed by the fact that its an E55 know what an E55 is, so why bother? It just makes you look like an idiot having fake badges. Appreciate what you have for what it is I say.

Blue_Monster

Exactly

People are tacky. Rich or poor.

I had a fake C55 park right next to me a few months back. I came out from the movies and couldn't believe the fool. Tiny brakes and all. Inside it was a huge and defenitly fake Louie handbag. Tacky. You've got what you've got.
