Was coming back up the strand in imperial beach back to coronado, And let say im a spirited type of driver. This asia man in his mercedes amg ,s55 or e55 ,or somethin or other thought i wanted to race him at the light so he tore off he had to much of a jump on me so thought i would just catch up with him at the next light. The next light is pretty far up the strand, so i got a couple of higher speed rolling races in( about 40 50 mph or so) we were pretty even i couldnt seem to get away from him with ppe on 1 ,and edge on 3. at the next light put edge on 5 on we had a pretty good drag race he got about half a car ahead and i realed him in pretty fast and up about a half a truck ahead of him. got off around 110. when i got off i saw him ,and hid bud were laughing dont know what about though, probably because there 50,000 dollar car got beat by a 4ton truck.

good kill!!! there's alot over here where i live....i'll keep my eyes open!

Maybe they were just toying with you. My buddy in his dmax does it to me all the time in my truck.

Im pretty sure that their ride was far more than 50k, if it was a true AMG.

If it was a slightly older S55 or E55 (the N/A engines), he may have been racing, but even still those are 13 second cars. If it was newer, he was just playing with you.

I had a C43 AMG and 0-60 is was alright, but from 60 on up... it was a rocket.

Sounds like a fun run either way though!

Ok I'm all for a good kill, but... An SLK55 AMG is a 12 second car. If it was an E55 AMG then it is a high 11 second car, it has a 470 hp engine in a car that weighs far less than half your truck.
Now if it was a SL65 AMG then it is also a 11 second car, 604 hp.
I'm pretty comfortable saying that it would take one hell of a duramax to kill any mercedes AMG.
PS it is no where near a $55k car, try $70 to $165K for the SL65AMG.

:exactly:

His AMG (in any form) would have smoked you if driven properly.

 

[inline6359]

Should have smoked him even if he didnt know what he was doing.

 

[briano]

I've ridden on an AMG and even with 4 grown men in it that thing still put me back in my seat..they are insanely fast and if I'm not mistaken the AMG package includes a blower. Good run though, maybe he didn't know how to drive that thing.

 

[mannytranny]

Some AMG eq'd models have the blower, some do not. Depends on the year as well.

I thought I was going to spank some punk a$$ brat in his daddys car at the track. It was a new AMG E55. He ran a high 12 and surprised the snot out of me. They are fast and will kill a truck without a built trans.!!

The amg was definatley not new, looked at some picks on the internet. I cant comment on exactly what type it was, it was big though. He could have been toying with me as now looking back on it i caught up to him and then he suspiciously stayed right beside up untill i got off. He could have been seeing ow fast i was. huuumm????
