c55 AMG vs. E92 M3....
Had a couple quick runs with a C55 AMG. Both of us had a passenger.
His 2nd gear seemed tall and by 3rd he started slowly creeping ahead. Asked about mods but said he was stock. Does this sound right? Tim

C55 = 105mph
E92 = 113mph Yeah.... something doesn't add up.

A C55 AMG is no where near as fast as an E9x M3. He's got something under the hood, whether it be a chip or something.

Or maybe you are shifting too slow?

I'd say
C55 - 107 M3 - 111 I've never seen a stock E92 go faster than 111, but they do have it in them if the conditions are PERFECT On the contrary, the slowest i've ever seen a C55 go is 105. I'd say the actual average is around more around 106.5 Keep in mine the W210 E55's- competed with E39 M5's- are heavier cars have gone 13.2@105 stock. This race was right. Torque got you down low but you began to creep away.
