2003 Mercedes CL55 AMG vs 2007 BMW M5

2003 Mercedes CL55 AMG (mods: ASP pulley) vs 2007 BMW M5 SMG (mods: no charcoals w/BMC filters, EVO power pulley and Dinan 3.91 rear end). CL55 had pretty severe wheelspin off the line (check out the smoke!).

try doing a fair comparison i.e. 2007 CL VS M5 not what you've done. CL would beat the M5. Plus the CL weighs alot more

[improvize]

@Zaim123 It was not a "comparison", it was a race, one of many that were run that day at a gathering of enthusiasts, and these were the participants in this particular race. Feel free to stage your own comparison race and post videos.

the m5 would get raped if there was a cl63

[improvize]

No, he wouldn't. A CL65 would, but the 63 is about the same as a 55. The 55 lost in this case due to tons of spin off the line (you can see the smoke at the beginning), while the M5 hooked up. A race is won or lost at the start!!

dude in this video m5 owns the cl amg but the other video cl ownz the m6 wat the fuck. man u tube videos are never to be judged they are just done by regular people not pros.

Next time read the comments. Here is what I wrote: "CL55 had pretty severe wheelspin off the line (check out the smoke!). "

Pretty severe wheelspin means that he was spinning valuable time away instead of hooking up and going. Which means his 60' time was probably horrible. Which is why he lost. 60' time is everything; in a 1/4 mile run, every 0.1 in 60' you gain gains you 0.2 in time, and each 0.1 second is a carlength.

Simple as that.

good run for the m5.bad run for the cl55.

actually a cl55 of 2007 has almost 40 more hp than an 03 model. 2003 has 479hp 2005-07 has 518hp and gearing was improved

That PAX dude down there is right - the SC 55 AMG vehicles are all faster than the NA 63 vehicles that replace them. But as an owner of a supercharged AMG, I know MB was trying to move away from the reliability issues the superchargers caused and just go with pure displacement for power. My little C32 (filters, cats cut, no res, ECU, Pulley) will totally snarl my buds V10 M5 whenever he's not looking - but I am a WAY better driver than him too. Nose to nose, that car will destroy mine.

A 2007 version with 5.5 liter V8 will smoke a M5 ? lol

Even the Cl63 amg wil not smoke the M6 so please shut the hell up idiot :)

I know this is going to sound like your typical rich kid bragging but it has to do with this video... My dad has a 2003 cl55 amg and my mom has a 2006 m5 and every time i take out my moms car and race the two cars the m5 wins... not by much but it still wins

[billynosurrender]

I agree without a doubt the CL55 is far quicker a CL65 would have had the same problem of the start with smoke due to traction does that mean the M5 is faster than the CL65 as well? Hardly!

[gaza4eva]

man come on look at the cl he spins at the start,i'd rather have a cl55 than any bmw .those 55 are fraking fast and it would smoke the m5 and the m6 anytime any where
