withness a lovely fight between a black CSL P** 111 againts silver E55 A**3.The merc smoked the hell outa the CSL. i tot the merc heavier car and shud be slower what??it was last friday on jalan duta heading towards duta highway. tried to follow them but fell behind. caught up again at hartamas turn off but the merc was long gone.mayb the CSL didnt go full throtle kot coz look like he damn slow compared to the heavy merc. what is the acceleration times for these two cars btw?
 
Well let me give you some figures.
E55 puts out 450hp
M3 CSL probably around 333 hp
Yes the Benz is much heavier but check out the hp difference.
On the straight line, there is no chance the M3 can keep up. At the track, its a different story.

I've been in an Audi S4 . putting out 340 hp and the E55 just humiliates the S4. It puts many bus length between the S4.

The CSL does the century sprint at 4.9sec. The E55 beats that by 0.1seconds.
 
More importantly, the E55 has oodles more torque than the CSL. That means, unless the M3 is in the powerband (ie. above 5000rpm) it has no hope of catching the Merc.

This, plus the fact that the E55s 0-100 times are carried out by an autobox, whilst the BMW was most certainly launched using launch control, you then begin to realise that the gap is alot more than what the 0-100 figure suggests.
 
e55 vs e39 m5???? are you living on planet earth? even the csl is faster than the e39 m5...... it should be compared to the e60 v10.
 
E60 M5 should be compared to the new CLS55 AMG, so who is in which planet now?hehehhe

Oh yes... the "55"s are all damn fast. Thank god they're so expensive, if not we'll all be getting mauled, all the time.

yup,


you're right it should be compared to the cls 55, its just that the w211 e55 is lighter than the cls55 and faster, thus why i said the e55 should be compared to the e60 v10. whatever it is the v10 will oudrag both AMGs......
