Alright I was on my way to my store to pick up a monitor for a customer and I see this car fly up on my rear, well I couldn't tell past the headlights what it was but it resembled the '00 A4 1.8T near my house so I take off and they do to well I pull a little bit from them still thinking it's the A4, we hit a nice S-Turn doing about 110 and I lose them for little bit well coming out of the turn i'm about 10 car lengths ahead and they close the gap like it was nothing, so I got into town and had him pull over, it turns out it was a '04 C32 AMG, that things got 349 hp out of a supercharged V6, yeah I got waxed and I believed him when he said he was't expecting that S-Turn.

Yeah, even the AMG Benz SUVs are fast...my ex's dad's would smoke my car and probably give a 3S Celi a good run.

I would have to agree with lagos, if I had a 3S I wouldn't be afraid of any SUV unless it was the G55 but who other than a celebrity would drive one.

2 doors? its probably a cl55
could be an sl 55 but theres not back seat so tvs would be useless and its quite possible a ml55 could take a 3s celi.. its a supercharged v8. hand-built by amg and built for performance. these things are FAST This post has been edited by fastgt: Jun 7, 2005 - 9:57 PM -------------------- 2011 Spice Orange Mini Cooper

Porsche Cayenne Turbo at 500HP -- anybody really willing to say our 260 HP (at best) Celica GT4 can compete with it? Hell, the cars weigh almost as much as the SUV.

check the weight of some of those suvs tho. some of them come in at 4-5,000lb. so they need a whole lot more power to move all that weight around

TT supras are Dyno queens and nothing more.. sure they are fast, but also weigh in at near 4k lbs.. those twin turbos are just getting the job done to haul that car's fat a$$ around without trouble.. now if it were gutted and stuff.... different story..

It was a fun run, I invited him to the Tail of the Dragon meet in August since the curves are so tight there I might actually be able to keep up, mostly because his is the sedan and even the Ferraris have trouble getting past 60 down it. He was shocked I ran like I did with a N/A I4 Toyota.

Guys guys, About the Cayenne Turbo. Its faster on the Nurburgring then a Skyline R34 GTR!!!
It has 450 HP (against the 280/320 HP of the skyline) and weights about 2400 kgs! Almost 900 kgs more then the skyline. And why the competition. You guys are talking about cars worth 60.000 Dollars and up GT-4 + mods = 20-30.000 Dollars?. Spend that 60 grand on a Supra and it will beat the AMG bigtime, i guess -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

Mercedes G55 is the fastest but the Cayenne would take it on a track (to get technical the Lindenfelter SUV's own them all but it's a $62,000 option). I will admit that was one of the few times I got my ass handed to me, I normally pic my races better plus the only Mercedes I seen near my house is an '05 CL600 and it's some trophy wife that drives it, her husband drives an '05 Viper Mamba edition and an '04 SRT-10 Ram. I was really hoping it was the A4 I would love to see how quick they are, the '00 models have similar power to my car so it will mostly be up to the weight and if I mess up, plus this isn't modded it just has wheels.
