I didn't mean it in a bad sense. Just there's no need for this anger, over getting beaten by a proven car. If it was an E320 or something he got beat by, then I can understand his frustration. It's basically comparing apples and oranges.

The original poster is a bit dramatic. Every little thing seems to set him off.

DJ, are you referring to the previous model CLK55 or the current model?
Znod, long time no chat! I thought I saw 4.5 for the new CLK63 not a CLK55 but I might be wrong.

That would be a bummer for me. That's another reason I don't want an M5. Check out my current thread on "Next Car: Quandry." I hint at this issue by mentioning the low torquiness of the M5 and the torque "monsterness" of the CLS AMG and the E55 AMG--which is totally unsatisfactory to me from the perspective of owning an M5.
and in this case i agree with you.

I B GR8. My G Meter is still in my glove box. haha Starting to think I should just sell it. Haven't followed the G Meter discussions for a while. So what was your fastest time?
I'd buy it from you. I'd like to record some times at the Socal Meet between the 550s and 545s.
