CLK 55 Kompressor....poser
came across this non-amg at a dealership in South Florida...just pathetic. On the back it said "CLK 55", but the '55' letters had fallen off....you could still see the remaining residue from the lettering on the paint.

The only thing you know for sure unless you lifted the hood, is that he is posing, it's not an AMG.
CLK55 Kompressors exist, they are not rare as hens teeth, I know as I have one, the question from me is should I install the V8 Kompressor emblems on mine or pose as a normal CLK55?

I like you just fine in sleeper mode! Don't kill it with the badge!

The poseurs keep coming:
I saw an awesome silver CL55 AMG going South on Lakeshore Drive yesterday, speeding through traffic. I caught up for a quick "fun run" with a Kompressor brotha'
But wait........only two tailpipes?
I pulled alongside to see what the farce was, saw the OEM CL500 body kit and a suddenly startled driver. He pulled down his gold-trimmed Guccis to glance at me, then my fender badges. He then averted his gaze and slowed down. Way down.
He knew he was busted worse than George Michael in a public bathroom and proceed to shrink away into the distance, completely deflated.
Another poseur disposed of
(apologies to CH)

I saw one at the gas station one day...it was a CLK 430 or something with a 55 AMG emblem.....and I asked the guy if he special order it with a single exhaust because AMG's come with dual/quad exhaust system.

The black mean sounding E39 M5 that jumped all over my A$$ in the CLK55 Cab. last week learned what AMG Kompressor power can do, I guess HE thought he was going to spank a AMG, but he was very wrong. He tried several times, I guess he thought my cab should be slow, or hoping my bottle would run out. He was way back rowing the gears and his exhaust was louder than my car even with the top down. What he doesn't know is that I never hit full throttle, I didn't need to!
I guess people don't understand that it doesn't have to loud to be fast.Here's a couple pics of my "other Beast"
I just debadged my ML55, the wife doesn't like it. I said I'll install an ML320 badge
. Maybe I'll be posing as a normal ML, not!
Here's a couple of recent posers took pics of.
Here's a CLK430 AMG cab., apparently a real popular model that AMG never produced.
A funny story from a customer of mine. After much discussion, He decided to puchase a CLK55 Cab. over a CLK430 Cab., I had enlightened him on AMG's and posers. After having it for a week, he came back and told me that he had ran into a neighbor who asked about which car he bought. He told him "a CLK55 AMG", the neighbor replied, "good choice, I have the CLK430 AMG". He called me to tell me he ran into his first poser.
Here's an S430 AMG.

2006 E55 BEAST
God I love this ****. My friends older brother has an SL500 with AMG rims and he has an AMG badge on the back of his car, I will never understand it.
But last night I was turning onto Wilshire when right before I turned I saw a new M5 pass me by, so I figured we could have some fun (I dont mean race, my car is stock, and whether other people's is or isnt doesnt make a difference, it's not like i'm gonna prove anything to anyone, so I just like to have fun) So I get a few cars behind him and I see the M5 badge. When I get up nest to him I realize that he only has 2 pipes, both on the left, and the air vents looked a little lower than usual, I didnt even bother to look down at the rims/brakes/rotors. When we stopped at a red I just looked at him and gave him a disgusted nod, since he was on a date my girlfriend told me to leave him be. I hate those people

I do believe the CLK needs more exhaust, I'm definitely thinking of a large single tip and removing the emblems, or not removing the emblems and really baiting trouble.

The only 209 CLK factory Kompressors were the CLK DTM's, other than that, don't know of any. There were no ML55 Kompressors.

DO you have a 55 motor or you added the blower to the 55?

I hate it!
That part throttle torque just gets the job done so effortlessly. With 2.82 gears, a quaife and 275's stuffed into the heavily massaged rear fenderwells with modified camber arms, well, first gear is still useless. Second gear starts are my norm until I figure out how to get the "Beast" to hook but will still even break loose at 40 mph at part throttle. I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get the weight to transfer to the rear so it will bite instead of spin, so much that I've considered sand bags in the trunk. Can you imagine blowing someone away and then revealing a trunk full of sand fto them for added insult. 
The best I've done so far is 4.4 0-60 measured with my G-tech, I've done the same time in first or second gear starts, but it's way easier in second as the harder you spin the tires the slower the esp will give the power back.
At our last AMG meet, with all gathered around the beast, Rob Allen threatened to take it back to the factory, he seemed amazed that the hood closes. Won an award too, "Most Popular".
It's the parts from your old engine plus a bunch of custom stuff, hand fabbed by yours truly to make it all function. High flow independant i/c system with seperate pressure reservoir. Other stuff, low temp pte thermostat, Evans coolants in the engine and light mixture of M.B. coolant in the i/c, high flow Bosch fuel pump, Begi FMU, Cold Denso Iridium plugs, phenolic blower to head spacers, Etc....
Still getting a 65? What's your ride in the meantime?

Question...
We had a discussion on this before in the CLS forum. The poser issue came up, and we pretty much agreed:
CLS500/550 W/AMG Kit - Ok to have an AMG badge but NO Kompressor badge, or CLS55.
CLS500/550-W/O AMG Kit- No AMG, Kompressor, or 55 badging at all.
Due to when I bought my CLS w/AMG Kit, rims, tips, etc., it had CLS55 on the rear, and before I had it shipped I asked the dealer to remove the 55 and put the 500 back on. I left the AMG badge on, IMHO I do not think that is posing on my part. I feel no shame about my CLS500, it is what it is and I love her. Honestly, I have never understood the fake badging and posing nonsense. People should love what the bought and drive, and accept it for what it is.
Comments? Thoughts?
