i like the amg cars but my god theya re going back in time with making them so ******* heavy. some of them are over 4,000lbs

I dunno what brabus does differently to the cars but this is from an article talking about a stock sl65 amg...

At the top of the Mercedes-Benz 'pile' sits the SL 65 AMG roadster, the ultimate open-top Mercedes-Benz aimed at sun-worshiping performance hedonists. Slotting above the 'mere' SL 63 AMG, the SL 65 features a 6.0 liter V12 engine that pumps out an astounding 612 horsepower, an eight horsepower bump from before. Even more impressive is the 738 lb-ft. of torque from the motor, a figure usually reserved for big rigs and maybe even tugboats.

Highest horsepower a CLK55 ever had was 342 FWHP. They weight 3344lbs, compared to 3025 for the Camaro. You should have easily beat that car stock for stock.

Then maybe it was something else, it was a amg cl something and I know it had 450 or 470 something hp at the crank. I remember looking it up and laughing about how overrated the **** was.

haha dude you need to chill on the benz hating. My roomie has a C32 thats modded and put down 350whp on a dynodynamics. thats about 380+ on a dynojet. car is rated 350hp from the factory. So he would definitely put some hurting to you. My other friend has a C55 thats supercharged... I wont even go into that. MB's are just fine if they have the right mods. They also have an interior that would put any camaro or firebird to shame.

Considering my car is worth 8 grand, compared to a benz being worth like 80.. I WOULD HOPE THEY HAVE A BETTER INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR! And how is 350rwhp alot? Thats more like 200hp in GM ratings, yes im bias on benz just because every **** that has one thinks its the **** and its so fast and 99% of the time it cant even keep up with a stock ls1. Bmw's, audis, all that good **** I LOVE, but benz is just overpriced, overrated crap.

Also, I just looked up those c32's, they seem to barely trap 100mph, are you joking? Unless that car is trapping around a consistent 109, ill stick with my $8000 car..

lol your so funny, how bout this. his car can be bought for about 13k now he has about...1500 into it in mods. If you read what i wrote its more like 380 on a dynojet. ALSO, he hit 109 consistently on his old kit. He will regularly hit 112-113 now. This is in arizona with DAs at 3000ft and only 91octane. If he had sea level and 93oct. It would be an entirely new beast.

dragtimes of c32's

Naw its just around where I live a few old guys and the kids who drive the parents benz's always think there so fast because of how benz overrates the **** out of their cars. bmws and audis, all the other **** like that, the kids I know with them and people who drive them are all really nice people to hang around. The benz people are stuck up morons who I enjoy beating the **** out of then shoving it in their face that my $8k car just beat there overrated overpriced benz. Yes.. I AM bias against benz, they make **** now compared to the old days, the old days being the 80s and early 90s when it was respectful to drive around in a benz, not just drive around in a benz like today because of the name even though the quality is junk and overrated.

As some have said, Benz is a pig. No suprise on the outcome. Even looking at a transmission perspective.

I own an 02 C32 AMG with 83k miles, I paid $11k for it. I'm not exactly sure what you mean about the quality of it being junk, I haven't had a single problem with it...Runs smooth as butter, interior has no rattles, leather is still plush and practically wear free- I'd say the only thing that sucks is the sound system lol. But anyway, I'm not trying to start a pissing match or take away from the thread...But not everyone who drives a Benz are "stuck up morons".

Just for giggles she pulled a 13.2 @ 106mph at HRP in November, stock down to the filters...Not fast by any means I know, but it's not bad for a 7 yr old supercharged V6 family car.

But back to the vid, that ZR1 absolutely destroyed that Brabus...It really makes you see how much power to weight comes into affect!
