Last night my friend took his brand new Ford F150 lighting TRUCK to my home and asked me for a test drive. We parked near by starbucks coffee. We did some 1/4 miles and some street run .A young guy drove his Handsome sliver CLK 430 (AMG bodykit and RIMS) beside us. And Asked my friend for a run! My friend asked me if he would win.

I answer" NO,Dont race your Truck. It only 4 days you got your truck. Let me race him." Since I know my modified Volvo can kill a E430 easy, So I want to give a try for a lighter one CLK430.

I asked The young guy What do you put on your car? And he answered "Just an intake and Exhaust.". I Reply" Let's try my Volvo.850R,I Got a Upgraded ECU,Intake,Exhaust,downpipe,nology hotwire,power core.And Brembo brake.And for Sure I can give you a good run!!!" The guy just say"Your Volvo???" HE is just kind of not belive what I just say.

So We do some 1/4 run in rolling start.He pick up frist so I am 3/2 car lenght at the back . And by the end of the race I am two cars lenghts ahead of him. We did it once more But this time we start even, and by the End I still beat him by almost 2 cars.I must say this time We both got a better start.Then We go back to starbucks. The guy is saying he cant belive he loose . And is asking me If I can come back on saturday night and He will bring His Friend's E55 to race me.I Know my volvo cannot stand a chance with the E55.But I dont know how I will loose.So I just tell Him If I will come I Just bring my other car.So I can have a chance.

So I just want to Know How a CLK 430 VS E55 .Can any one give me an Idea!!!

Leave the E55 alone. It will eat you for lunch. I have a 92 500E (316hp stock) and I can bury most cars, including CLK's, especially on the highway from a rolling start. Anyway, an E55 is packing a little over 400hp and here in LA I've seen em beat Porsche 996's in a straight line. That's my two cents.

400 HP E55??? I belive it should be something around 360HP only.!!By the way. The 500E is a very nice car.Such a sleeper!!

For the E55 I know I will loose. That why I will bring another car to race against it. And "Eat It for Snack"

thanks

Go check some magazines, E55 is to compare with M5...so what do you think? If you want to do all out drag race, his E55 will probably embarrass you in no time. We all know what a typical ECU, exhaust upgrade T5 can do. For sure..you will give him a good run for the money, maybe..

But don't expect to out run him.

l have to agree with you Kai,

D.O.A,call in sick,that is one bad-ass euro-taxi waiting for you down the road.
