well i finally got to have a rematch with one of these amg supercharged cars. The first time I raced one was the e55 with 4 guys and I seemed to pull on them pretty well. This time I raced the CLS-55 which is a much lighter and sportier version then the E-55. This guy was riding by his self and I did have a passenger. We were both at a light and once it turned green we both punched it, I do have DR and and launched perfect, looked over beside me and he aint going no were, shifted into second and he still there bumper to bumper, then we had to let off at around 70 due to traffic. Guys car was pretty fast them cars launch pretty well I never even heard him spin a tire. I call a draw on that race. racing 1/8 it would probably be close but in the 1/4 that car would probably murder me.

A CLS55 AMG weighs in a few hundred pounds more than a E55 AMG, FYI.
Not that it matters though, as they are still very fast and you did well to keep up with one. Nice race.
