Run in with a CL55 AMG
Last night, series of straights only on dual carriageway, from traffic lights twice.
I managed to pull away convincingling in gears 1,2 and 3 (anything above would be too fast).
Though it would have been quicker or maybe he didn't give it all. I also made a crap launch off the lights. Whats the stats on these things?
I in a 99, decat, tek 2, induction.

"Acceleration 0 - 62.5 mph [secs] 6.3 "
Sounds about right. So this is for the non-AMG version? I'm sure I saw an AMG badge unless people stick on fake badges.
It was not that beast of a V12. It had 1 twin-pipe chromed exhaust on the back left and was a 4 seater-coupe.

I owned a CLK 430 AMG - but the AMG bit only meant it had AMG wheels and bodykit - so that may have been it in your case also

I've got an S55kompressor
Same engine and chassis as the CL55,
It does 0-100 in around 10 seconds, with a bad launch and the traction control on
http://www.geocities.com/mrjumjum/0-100mphBadLaunch.wmv
It's very consistant, the surface was greasy during these runs and this second run the launch was even worse still hits 100 in about 10 secs.

Point of pedentry - proper AMG cars will have a 2 digit tag (CL55, CL65) and the normal ones 3 figs (CL500, CL600) and that applies to the whole range.
If you saw CL55 - it would have been the AMG version.
The prefix is the body style (SL is the 2 dr conv with the Vario roof, CL the 2 dr Coupe, S the large 4 dr sal). These 3, plus the ML, C class, CLK and E class can all be had with the 5.5l supercharged engine AMG stylee.
The S class S55AMG weighs 2.5 tonnes and is as quick to 100 mph as a 911 Turbo, 550 Maranello or a Murcielago - they are very quick.

A guy by us has an S55 AMG, and he destroys my poor MY03 every morning. My last STi Type RA was more of a match, but the S55 was quicker than that too!
