My Ride: 550i/ black with aurburn/ sport/ SMG/ m aero kit/ premimum sound/ cold weather/ heated rear/ navigation/20" iforged sprints in gunmetal with PS2's _GONE
Sunday afternoon, doing my usual leisurely drive and I spotted an AMG CL55 driving pretty spirited. So I pursued. The traffic was moderate. He saw me coming so he picked up the pace. Probably thought I was a M5. I caught up to him and the next light. Unfortunately, I was behind him and he was power braking at the lights. Every time the light turn green we?d go at it, but he would just hit it. I couldn?t keep up with him, but I am surprised how well I held my own. But never the less he smoked me.

Hehe of course... a E 55 AMG or CLS 55 AMG can beat a M5 off the line not to mention a 550. But good try anyways... its always nice to have a comparison to see how much faster the competition is.

Well you know what the out come when you saw it in your site.
He is a truned car for the track.
Maybe dump all your seats at the back, all stuff in the boot, drop the people off, just have 10L of petro and add a supercharger and then you mit just bet him.
