And I can't believe you claimed that an M5 beat a car which has tested a full second faster in the 1/4 mile.
Actually, it shows that you cannot, apparently, understand good ol' fashioned, plain English: I was using what is called an "example" to explain my point with what is called "logic".
"Logic", you see, is a system of reasoning. My point was this:
Now, one doesn't need to have a degree in mathematics to see a pattern here, but it was obviously lost on you, so let me explain: the difference between the M5 and CL55 is 1.0 seconds. The difference between the 330ci and the M5 is 0.8 seconds.
So, you see, given that the difference between cars 1) and 2) is pretty much the same as cars 2) and 3), what *I'm* saying is that if your claim is plausible, then it is equally plausible for a 330i to hold the M5 off from a dead stop to 110 mph, particularly since the amount of time separating the M5 frm the 330i (again, 0.8 seconds) is less than the amount of time separating the CL55 and the M5 (again, 1.0 seconds)!!
My response, in both cases: yeah, right.
As to how the supercharged Benzes hold up against M5's: well, let's have a look, from the same article above wherein the M5 was tested:
This is the test of the E55, which has the same motor as the CL55 you're claiming to have hung with from 0-110 mph, from the same article:
In a short race, say 0-60, between two cars tested two tenths apart, yes. In a long race, say 0-110, between two cars tested one full second apart, no. Once the faster car hooks up, it will reel the slower car in like a fish. This is not hypothesis, it is from races dating back to 1980, when I first started driving (and drag racing).
Yes, you kept up with an AWD car which has no traction issues and has 8 pounds/horsepower, in a RWD car which can have traction issues and has 10 pounds/horsepower, all the way up to 100, three times. Lol... whatever, dude...you're dreaming.
But again: I've asked you twice now: why not set something up at your local dragstrip and demonstrate how you can hang with 996 TT's and CL55 AMGs?? Why is it that you keep avoiding this question?
I do respect M5's. I have raced M5's, many times. Haven't lost to any of them. Guess their drivers weren't as good as you.
I feel less intelligent everytime I read one of your posts, and I think everyone else does too. I think you've done enough bullsh*tting, now let's see your boys "represent." I don't think any of them have the balls.
I just saw your post on the MB Forum. I love how you lie about me claiming to have beaten the turbo. I would love to race one of these guys anytime (CL55 since that is the one I am "lying" about). My boys will also want to get in on the action with their Bimmers. Just let me know when we can get this done!!!
Oh, I don't think you need to read my posts for that...more a function of genetics, I'd think. You don't need my help, lol.
We shall see. I sincerely doubt you're for real, though, even if I do.
Btw, what strip is close to you?
We have some very good roads nearby where we can race from a 20 roll so we can take the launching aspect out of it since you amg owners can't seem to figure out how to floor a gas pedal.
What, you mean a driver with your skills can't name a drag strip?
Why am I not surprised?
Dude, laugh all you like...anyone who can read a car mag knows how full of it you are. M5's don't beat mid-12 second cars, period. End of story.

I am not going to stoop to your level even though you are probably much older than me an take shots at you. I just want to see your boys represent because mine are on the phone and ready to go!!
