Default Anyone ever run against a AMG S55? Guy down the street just got one.....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19204/p1010004.jpg"></center><p>talked to him this weekend. Nice car, big car, big bucks, anyone have real experience racing one. He says he'll take me. I agreed to run him if we go to a track but I won't do it on the street. I'm stock except for my sick shift ****.....that adds at least 15 additional hp! Anyone want to loan me their chipped M-box for the weekend? 8^)

Default Nope, sent that back about 6 months ago.....

It didn't work correctly and the new version has not been released yet. I only had it in the car for about 2 weeks before I went back to stock.

Default I gave the CLK55 a shot... I know Im no S4.. but look at my sig.. :(

Daymm those things got ***** on top.. From the way he pulled on me, Id say it would be pretty close with a stage 2 S4 (non-apr stage 2)...

Make it a short race and you can launch on him.

You'll get smoked, but take satisfaction in knowing you paid a 1/3 what he paid.

Default I don't think so.......With some mad skilz I might take him....according to C&D....

the S55 goes 0-60 in 5.5, with the 1/4 in 14.

You really think I'll get smoked? I bet it would be pretty close, w/ the edge to the AMG.
