Took the car out today and there was this merc behind me on the dual carriageway. Put my foot down and he stayed with me. Didn't think alot of it. I let him pass me and it was a c32 amg 04 plate. This car looked like a normal merc. Not the monsters with 4 exhausts at the back. The bloke smiled at me as he went past.

Traffic lights next both next to each other going onto a dual carriageway. I put my foot down and we were both neck and neck. These cars are rapid. My car isn't slow and I got a remap to 311bhp by JGM. I'm thinking my car is actually running more bhp now to keep level with this mad merc?

They don't look like they go but read up and they're 350bhp and 350lbs/ft. That's standard!

C32amg 0-60 in 5.15 and 0-100 in 11.82 1/4 in 13.3 at 107mph? and you think that's fast? Wait until you come up against a fast car then.

I know it's not porsche, lambo territory but the car looks so standard.

We have an SL55 AMG with F1 pack in the family, thats quick, makes my Scoob which is just over 340bhp look like a push bike vs a motorbike.

Having said that it is capable of doing 190mph with the roof still down and 200+mph with it up so I guess thats quite acceptable.

I've been driving a CL63 AMG at late and I love this car to bits, I remember the top gear one with the...

CL63 vs RS4 vs M5 where they were in Spain can't remember the outcome, never been in or driven an M5 to give a comparison.

Yup, cool car, mainly because it is so stealth. I love cars that 99% of people think are standard but can embaress more exotic stuff (at least in a straight line in the case of the Merc). E39 M5, RS2, Volvo T5 etc.

Lancia Thema 8.32 anyone...

RS6 is a sleeper to the uninitiated Especially an Estate

Audi S6 even more so IMO. Still has 344bhp and without being so low and doesn't have the so wide wheelarches etc.

Dont let the diesel fool you.
More torque than the mighty M5!
Midrange you will struggle to catch it!

Ive a remapped 535 "M" Sport, and mine moves on very well.

Nah, everyone expects fast estates these days, especially german ones.


Go back a decade or so for the RS2, now that was a sleeper at the time if you didn't know what that badge meant and there weren't many cars around outside supercars that could keep up with it.
