CLK 430 VS Modified Volvo 850R VS E55??? 850 R97

posted by  someone claiming to be Joseph on  Mon Oct 30 20:41 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Last night my friend took his brand new Ford F150 lighting TRUCK to my home and asked me for a test drive. We parked near by starbucks coffee. We did some 1/4 miles and some street run .A young guy drove his Handsome sliver CLK 430 (AMG bodykit and RIMS) beside us. And Asked my friend for a run! My friend asked me if he would win.

I answer" NO,Dont race your Truck. It only 4 days you got your truck. Let me race him." Since I know my modified Volvo can kill a E430 easy, So I want to give a try for a lighter one CLK430.

I asked The young guy What do you put on your car? And he answered "Just an intake and Exhaust.". I Reply" Let's try my Volvo.850R,I Got a Upgraded ECU,Intake,Exhaust,downpipe,nology hotwire,power core.And Brembo brake.And for Sure I can give you a good run!!!" The guy just say"Your Volvo???" HE is just kind of not belive what I just say.

So We do some 1/4 run in rolling start.He pick up frist so I am 3/2 car lenght at the back . And by the end of the race I am two cars lenghts ahead of him. We did it once more But this time we start even, and by the End I still beat him by almost 2 cars.I must say this time We both got a better start.Then We go back to starbucks. The guy is saying he cant belive he loose . And is asking me If I can come back on saturday night and He will bring His Friend's E55 to race me.I Know my volvo cannot stand a chance with the E55.But I dont know how I will loose.So I just tell Him If I will come I Just bring my other car.So I can have a chance.

So I just want to Know How a CLK 430 VS E55 .Can any one give me an Idea!!!
