2005 CLK 55AMG how fast are these?
Those AMG Mercedes cars are really fast and pretty damn quick too. If you race one, youi better not mess the launch and like somebody said, don't go past 100 mph. In stock form the big MBs will kill a stock EVO. All the EVO guys who brag about beating all these very powerful cars either have highly modified EVOs or are just blowing smoke (maybe smoking crack too). As nice as the stock EVO is, it's still not the best or fastests of all cars in straight line acceleration or top speed. They can also be easily killed by those super road cars like the TT Supra, FI MBs, Porsches, Audis and other exotics....
my dad drives a 2006 e55 stock he ran a 12.19. now he has renntech stage 1 pulley and chip. with that he ran a 11.77. now he has a rull exhaust and 50 shot...going to the track in 2 weeks.. stock tires...slicks on the way....they are no joooooke

The Evo 9 does 0-60 in about 4.8 seconds and it's AWD as well. AWD cars will always be a hair slower than a RWD car.
Personally, I think the new "rounded off" CLK cars don't look near as good as the older body style cars circa 98-02. They look too much like generic Japanese coupes and I wouldn't shell out that kinda cash for new one.

Vishnu_Evo8: With less than $2k of mods to your car the N/A AMG's are done for. I'm not even going to deny that.
I got my *** handed to me in a Z06 on the freeway about a year ago by a e55, however I don't think it was stock. We were going about 130mph, and he passed us like we were sitting still. It was probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I will get one in a couple years.
