We went off a light. I pulled him immediately down low by about a car and half. I hit second and my bald tires did not grip at all. He made up some ground at this point but I held half a car on him to 110 miles an hour. It was one of the greatest races I ever had.

So this was one of the NA models, probably 349 HP? No matter what, nice kill, all of the 55 cars are VERY stout.

It was definitely the Kompressor. The guy put the window down and asked me what the hell I had done to my car. It was like an '04 with rims.

So what did you do to your car to beat a compressor equipped 55?

For now I have the Active Intake, Borla Exhaust, temperature relocator, and a chip. I am about to put headers, pulleys, and a new custom chip for everything.

Good kill! The CL klass is one of the heaviest benz cars around! Surpringly... had it been an S klass.... it might have been a different story!!!!

But the E39 M5 can take on cars ahead of its time TODAY! Thats why it will always be a legend!

Very nice, if somebody has a more expensive car it doesnt always mean that he is winner! Nice kill! CL55 is too big and too comfortable for racing, its just a big comfortable boat for a long driving. M5 is beast
