I am driving down a 3 lane highway (each way). This young dude in a Merc CL55 pulls next to me and punches it. I downshift to 3rd, the clutch slips and catches....I start pulling him in and pass easily. I think that upset him a bit, since he kept on trying his luck, but he had none. Not bad for "stock".
GOT SURGE?

I have no idea if it was an AMG, it was the 2 door coupe. I have a FWD, and my car kills from a roll....not exactly stock, but far from 400hp

Could of been an older CL55 because the new ones are extremely fast. They have something like 469HP and over 500 ft-ibs of torque.

Yeah trying going over 155 mph for a few minutes. Your RPM's will be over 6000 RPM while the CL55 probably be around 4500 RPM. Anyway, the CL55 is STOCK and your not.

Actually AMG is a separate entity that modifies Mercs, the supercharged engine on the SL55 took over a year to develop after the SL500 release. They made an agreement in 1990 with MB to sell their tuned vehicles through dealers. So...not stock.

Well the CL55 at 155 mph will feel like 100 mph where the DSM will feel like its going to fall apart at that speed.

Well than Paul Sitarski, YOUR CAR IS A PSYCHO KILLER on the highway! lol. I haven't really tested my car at 155 mph, I went around 130 mph and the car wasn't shaking. So the conclusion to this story is nice kill Jakub, and AMC CL55 are a big waste of money if you want performance.

Just to let you boys know: there is a AMG CL55 out there that has had major work done to it.... ie. Upgraded supercharger, Maybach Throttle Body added, custom exhaust that looks stock, cams and a bunch of other stuff. This car is fast - I know cause I've been in it.
Good luck if you come up against it!
