Default CBR's Versus Merc E55

So I was doing a search on heatshield wrapping of headers and came across a forum thread claiming that the Mercedes E55 can beat any Honda CBR out on the market. Here's the link 'http://forum.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?s=433143e2a05c43057174876da5a75ecd& p=1650447#post1650447'

So personally I know for a fact in my world that Mario Andretti in a E55 Versus (Insert Favorite Superbike Pilot here) in a CBR XXXXRR, Andretti is going to lose!

I drove an AMG SL55 and in no way shape or form can it out accelerate my F4i in the quarter. Braking is very easy on it after all it has ABS so any retard can stop it. In tight turns it is a pig, tends to oversteer. The right course, I guess the benz could win, but whoever needs to spend $100K to beat my bike probably is trying to validate himself for lacking in other areas.

It is my experience that most people that buy an AMG, buy them for the badge, benzs are for chicks. Real drivers that want a sedans tend towards M series BMWs and the S and RS series Audis

before we could run them,yugo driver needs a "club"to protect his investment[sm=icon_rofl.gif],esp when parked in bad spot of
town
but seriously,watch out for the cars you guys run-we have a couple of different twin turbo porches that come into the
shop(dealership) that would rip my 54 a new a$%hole-as my only chance would be to take them/it as far to top
speed as it would go!!!if i prevail then i have the ferrari's/lambourghini's to deal with[:'(]
can you say turbo-busa[sm=bounceybounce.gif]

I'm pretty sure that if I can outrun an enzo I can outrun any lesser car but thats just me. I haven't done that yet but looking at the numbers will back me up. I did smoke a v10 BMW m5 not too long ago with no trouble.

a enzo like this(see attachment)
j/k
the 2 cars i am talking about are aftermarket tuned-the twin turbo cars have atleast 2x or more boost
from aftermarket turbo assemblies-the one i am talking about threw me back into the
seat-i was a passenger on a test drive-(and yes i was getting into things(like usual-pressing cool looking buttons
and in the glovebox,etc.))then the driver hit-it-i was thrown back and pinned!!-after we slowed down from warp
speed-driver asked-what do you think??-i said i dont really have comment-can we do it again??
from a rolling throttle stab that 2/turbo would own my 54,i am thinking in terms of street racing(no room!)
and also driving along and not knowing i am suppose to race-but racing the car anyway!
my point was just watch the cars you street race against,as some are not stock-true car drivers
modify there cars just like sportbike riders-and some of them haul ***-big time!!
