so driving to the doctors today i see this C55 AMG get behind me and for those who dont know those are the real boxy looking benz (looks like something hiter would drive) anyways light turns green and im driving normal, i get a flyby!?!?! so next light im behind him(street turns into a one lane road) and he takes off, i follow with my foot mashed to the floor. i was right on his bumper pretty much the whole time.... those things are quick, but for over $100k id hope so. but with a little more room i think i could have still kept pulling on him.

Sorry but no C class comes close to 100K. Beyond that, I dont think any of 'em makes even as much as 400hp.

The older C55 is a nice little sedan with 369hp. Good highway cruiser. I haven't seen a new one yet.

And you probably don't have to worry about running into Hitler racing one of them, since he's dead.

MB does have an SUV (G63?) that runs with LS1 6Ms and actually traps a little higher. Scary.

Ah, the old Geländewagen or G-Wagon

The newest is the G55 Kompressor.... AMG....500hp

5.5 0-60

And yes, it is a box on wheels.

Hahaha, wow that is one unattractive vehicle (at least to someone who's used to looking at their Camaro every day ). Rated 500/516 and weighs 5,635 POUNDS!!!

Nice race. That 500hp is not wheel hp, it's at the flywheel, btw.
