Lol i'm totally not worried about the CL55 AMG now.

I had a run in with a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder last night, I had 3 other people with me in the car, totaling 560lbs between them 3.

With a bad start (didn't know the guy in the gallardo was going to go for it, so my reaction was delayed).

The whole time I was one car length behind him, and he wasn't getting away.

I imagine with just me driving, I woulda been able to be right up next to it, if not pass it.

With race gas, it woulda been no competition

yeah but 5th sucks for drag racing - although this is assuming you've got a 5-speed transmission...and not the 6-speed mr....*edit - which Naj has, my bad.

i dunno about that whole "blowing your turbo" comment....just depends on how high you can safely rev your engine and at what point your turbo stop being efficient and just blows hot air...
