Default My dad has an '02 --> 342hp / 376 lb-ft, under 3500 lbs.

It's pretty darn fast. From a roll probably a little faster than a Stage II S4, but not quite as fast as a Stage II+ S4 (mostly due to the taller gearing in the CLK55, so watch out at high speeds even if you are Stage II+). The newer ones ('03-'04) have a little more HP but a little more weight as well, although the 6-speed automatic makes them just a tad faster than the '01-'02 models with the 5-speed automatic.

IIRC the new one is about the same as old since CLK does not get supercharger.

Default Ridden in one on the track, crazy pull down the straights. From a roll, I bet a chipped S4 would

have it's hands full.
