Hello again,
So I'm riding down I-20 when guess what a SL600 black with black wheels (super clean) comes riding up with his girl looking over at me. It looked as though she said something to him and I downshift anticipating and bam hes off! He pulls one car and all of a sudden I've pulled even with him not giving or getting a inch and we shut down about 120. He take the next exit and I keep going, lo and behold I come cruising by a R32 VW Rabbit. I'm already in 4th and a big grin comes across his face as he downshifts. We take off and already I've got a car and by the time we split I had about 2.5 cars on him. We were off in our seperate ways and that was it. I can't take anything away from the VW or the Mercedes but I could tell if we would have kept going that German transmission would have kicked and probably got off into the wind!

R32 is a golf.

SL600? Like a Mercedes Benz SL600? You, the guy who two days ago was posting that his car couldn’t accelerate past 100 MPH, are claiming to have caught and stuck with a 500HP/590 lb-ft twin turbo’d beast that runs 12’s in the quarter and is ECU limited to a radar gun certified 155 MPH . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . um . . . . . . . . . OK . . . . . . . . . . . . sure . . . . . . . . . . everyone believes that.

An S4 tide with an SL600? The Benz must have a BEER CAN stuck underneath the gas pedal.

Thanks for the flamage but the problem was the hose at the top of the turbo going into the intercooler piping had busted a hole in it. The car was fixed the next day and back to her old self. As far as it being the Mercedes thats pictured above its not that one. If you read the post it says "I think SL600". At any rate though its not the SL its the CL which is the bigger bodied car. And in defense I stated that I didn't pull just matched and if we would have kept going he would have pulled on me severly! And according to this page that I got the attachment from states the car has 367hp. The web page that I got these stats from http://www.csi-auto.nl/carview/mercedescl600.htm and the attachment has a picture of the car that I was speaking of. Wow, I see that you guys/gals are quick draw on the BS meter!

And Cosmo TT I have no problem admitting when I get my *** handed to me so say what you will but I don't get a hard on from lying.

"If I read the post" . . . . . . . . hold on there homes, the car in the picture definitely isn't the one you raced, the car in the picture is mine. That car doesn't street race. Had I lowered the hammer on you in my CLK, I would have pulled away from you so hard you'd be posting about a land based UFO engaging warp drive and ripping you a new one.

Of course we call the BS meter! We "read the post". You're the guy who earlier posted "that you were a noob, needed some help with SAFETY because you don't know what happens if you took your car to redline", right? Shouldn't the BS meter come into play when a guy posts that his car can't pass 100 MPH, then starts posting in the KILLS SECTION about catching up to and sticking with a 500HP V12? Now after being called on it, your story changes from catching up to and sticking with the MB Monster, to sticking with a LUXOBARGE that's over twice as big as the car you posted about. Your story doesn't even make sense if you plug CL into the picture. We could picture you noticing a girl in the passenger side of a convertible (SL600), but you claim to have looked into that big sedan-sized CL600 and not just seen her, but saw what she was looking at. OK sure. Now that you've clarified the story, everybody believes you.

What's your next post; "Hey guys, with my mad driving skillz I caught up to and stuck with a Ferrari Enzo. Oh wait, no, it was a Buick!"

BTW ever figure out what happens when you rev to redline?

a beer can, dude its a benz....it had to have been a bottle of wine or champagne! lol

Maybe it was an older sl600 which is a v12 but not twin turbo. the sl55 does mid 12's the sl600 does 11.90 2005 was the first year. the regular SL500 maybe ?

spimp

Marcus F you insist on Sl or Slk but the picture clearly shows a CL which is a much bigger car than the SL shown above. Another thing is that I don't see whats so hard about looking at the lady in the passenger seat right next to me! Another thing I didn't say I pulled on him but pulled even and admitted that I would have been raped if we would have kept going. Just because I'm a noob wanting to know if I can take my car to redline has no bearing on whether I can drive or not but asking what can my car take with the mods that it has on it. I know before I recieved the car I drove it above 6k and the motor popped with the same mods. Granted maybe the seals were already going but I've only taken my car to 6k-65k max before I make a shift trying to avoid the same demise as previous engine. Like I said though looking at that tank in the picture (the one thats posted as a attached thumbnail) its very possible that I stood a chance for the amount of time that we were racing. I'm in the Atl and don't have any problem handing you your's if you don't hand me mine first. Question, how do I mount a digital camera in my car and also how do I upload the video onto the site (seeing as how today I just learned to upload thumbnails)? I see that I'm working with a tuff crowd and need to show then tell.

Marcus_F

It sounds like the Mercedes-Benz lineup has you a little confused. There are no SL or SLK pictures in this thread. My car is a CLK.



Your first post said Not "I think an SL600". An SL600 is a convertible and a CL600 is a big coupe. There is no confusing the two. But even considering the fact that you've changed your mind and now say you raced a CL600; I just pulled open a Mercedes press kit. Are you sure you raced a CL600? It had the numbers "600" on the trunk? A CL600 is powered by a twin turbo'd/dual intercooler'd V12 that puts out 493 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque. CLK600's do 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and are also ECU limited to a radar gun ceritfied 155 MPH. Are you sure that's the car you want to make this claim about? Using your words -"He pulls one car and all of a sudden I've pulled even with him not giving or getting a inch". This is AFTER he takes off on you? And you can't see why some people (everyone) might question this? The CL couldn't have missed a shift, they're all automatics. Wow, the "only explanation" is you must have ONE REALLY FAST FC.

You can mount a camera with a camera mount. Anything Limited in Santa Monica, California sells them mail order. I'm sure someone in Atlanta does as well. Upload the photos to your website and use HTML to link the photos back here.

Don't get me wrong that j-spec motor must have a little more done to than I know about but my car is pretty fast for just the mods that are on it. The car that you pictured is not that car its the one in my thumbnail. If you would notice I said it was a tank! True enough I may have the Mercedes numbers mixed up but I know it was a big car and I pulled back up on him and we were pulling hard (or maybe I thought since I was pushing my car). All I know is the specs that the related site gave me and I also understand that my *** would have been handed to me Royaly, but I have already told you Marcus F that it was only a from 70-80mph to 120mph. And anyway I understand that you have a Mercedes and you think the world of it I just said that I pulled with him and not on him. Besides all the flamage you guys have forgotten about the R32 Golf that I pulled on.

R32 Golf's are very slow, that story is believable.

spimp

If I'm not mistaken the R32 has more hp than a FD and FC!

rjd2

ok Thinking about buying and FD and came upon this thread....

SL600 Naturally aspirated V12 with approx 500 hp 600 trq like you said...

SL65 AMG twin turbo v12 with 600 hp 700+ ftlbs

you are combining an engine from a different model and giving the wrong HP stats for the turbo'd engine. you did get close on the o-60 time though.

in my opinion the rx7 has a chance to keep up maybe even pull a little in the right gear from 55-90mph then good bye Mazda. anythings possible though, power to weight, automatic trans.. my point is unless you really know what your talking about give the guy a break and move on to the next thread

I find all of this hard to beleive.

AWD turbo car and 500hp German car versus 180hp (or more, or less) 7?

Sorry, I love the 7, but there are alot of cars faster then ours .

So BS.

spimp

i agree its alot of cars faster than ours but the all wheel drive cars arn't all that fast on the top without good mods (he was stock) and as i stated a number of times i just pulled with him and not on him. anyways though your entitled to yours. and another thing the R32 is N/A.

Mr. Belvi

Always a good thing to see someone post a bullshit story, get caught, then try to back peddle out of it.

Mr. Belvi

Both the CL600 and CL65 have twin-turboed engines. The 600 just has a smaller 5.5L engline while the 65 has a 6.0L engine, one at almost 500hp and the latter at 600hp. Same holds true in all 600 and 65 models in the Benz lineup.

spimp

sorry Belvi i don't have to back peddle and know what happened. just because something is twin turbo doesn't equal the ultimate thats why skylines and rx7's go to single. i appriciate all the support guy/gals. if you like i'm out on fridays at the race spot if you're game. besides i'd think it was BS also Belvi if i drove that protege. bwahahahahahahahahaha!

Mr. Belvi

You sound like that little kid in special ed who's mom said "as long as you think you are smart you are smart." No ones saying that twin-turbo is ultimate but those of us that actually know a little something about cars know that what you said in your 'kill story' didn't happen. Let's analyze what you said one more time:

"It looked as though she said something to him and I downshift anticipating and bam hes off! He pulls one car and all of a sudden I've pulled even with him not giving or getting a inch and we shut down about 120."

So by this statement he pulled on you by a car, then you pulled even with him, meaing you would have had to be going faster than him at one point, up in the 70-80-120mph range. You expect us to believe that your 15 second car did that with a car that runs in the 12s? A more believable statement is that he bliped his throttle pulled on you by a car and that was the end of the race, just long enough for you to read that the *** of his car said CL600 or did it say SL600? Those are two totally different cars that look nothing alike, especially from the rear.

But since you were behind it at one point since he jumped on you by a car and you caught up you should have gotten a clear read on what it said right?

And yes I did drive a Protege5 but at least I know the limits of what my car could and could not do, and I'm not dumb enough to come one here and post a bullshit story to a crowd of people that know a lot about the cars we speak of. So my suggestion to you is just take it like a man, you got caught, just drop it before you make yourself look even more foolish.

spimp

hey say what you want! i know they are two different cars just didnt but from the jump i called it a tank and there is only one tank out of the 3 the small roadster, the one i was corrected on, and the biggest one which i attached. also if you've read all the statements then you would know that i've stated maybe i thought he was still running but wasn't! i know alot about cars also and know that alot of times hp can be overated! you may be afraid of what your car can do but i'm finding out very fast what mine can! oh yeah, i apologize about the crack on your protege i had time to reflect about the insult on a fellow Mazda bro. though i acted out we still Fam!

rjd2

Son of a bitch your right, I suck. They did so much press on the 65 and it being twin turbo and it came out after the 600 I just assumed the 600 was naturally asp. Also it only mentions it in the spec sheet on mbusa.com not on the main cl class page. thanks for the education.
