In a straight line the 550 wins this every time if the drivers have equal skill. A driver who has a 7 out of ten skill level up against someone with a 9 out of 10 would lose no matter which they drove most likely.
@@ahmadjwaidi2970 completely different engines and trans, Clk550 has a 7 speed trans (722.9) and a dohc v8 (m273) and the clk55 has a 5 speed trans (722.6) and a sohc v8 (m113)
@@brucejohnson8320 the M113 is the more reliable long term drivetrain most likely, though the right 273 can certainly do ok. 113 has more leaky stuff, the 273 has more plasticy crap that breaks, and potentially chain issues. Both great cars. Personally like the 550 for the MPG from the 7G
i still thought the 55 would win somehow,how do they 550 clk sound do they have a good gruff sound also or are they like pretty silent like old mercs from the past can be
the car the camera is in is the clk55 amg ,the car which goes past it is the clk500 in europe or 550 in usa, from late 2006 onwards with the 5.5litre engine, and not the earlier 5.0 litre
people rave about the m119 engine being better than the m113 but i don't buy it an e430 is faster than an e420 and i believe the r129 with the m113 is faster than the m119 it replaced also
