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:

1) the CL55 has been tested, stock, at a 12.38 @ 114 1/4 mile.

2) the M5 has been tested, stock, at a 13.4 @ 108 1/4 mile.

3) the 330i has been tested, stock, at a 14.3 @ 97 1/4 mile.

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.

You said you beat the turbo to 100 mph.

Lie? I don't think so. You specifically stated that you'd "pulled him" in first and second,, and held him off till over 80 mph, an impossibility against a well-driven Turbo Porsche:

I've posted an invitation on the MB forums. Will let you know if there are any takers.

I'd also like to see you tie a TT from 0-100, and have thus also posted that thread in the Turbo Porsche forum.

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.

Re: M5 vs. CL55

So you can beat M5's. I hope one of your boys has a CLK55 to play with us.

Are you just ignorant, or what? Here's Motor Trend's test of a CLK55 AMG.

And here's Car & Driver's: 4.5 seconds 0-60, 13.1 @ 109 1/4 mile

Oh, yeah...looks pretty tight with M5's to me, bro, but you have already demonstrated that you can't read, so no surprise there.

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.

Re: M5 vs. CL55

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!!
