Two CLK55's with Kleemann S/C

Timster · 06-28-2003, 03:34 PM

Today I met another guy who has a CLK55 AMG. He also has the Kleemann Super Charger and Kleemann Speed Sensitive Suspension. He added Larger Brembo 14" Brakes and HRE wheels
It's beautiful car. Here are a couple of pictures of the cars side by side. (Next time I'll take a close up picture of the brakes)

We met thru a friend that has a performance shop.
He is not a Forum or internet fan. I tried to get him on this board but he didn't want to deal with it. I can understand. Some time you need to have thick skin, when it comes to the internet.
We didn't do any side by side comparisons. We did drive each others cars. Performance was identical, or at least it felt that way. His brakes were much better though.

That's alot of horsepower there!
It's funny, I assume just about everyone who's a true enthusiast at least browses their respected auto forums....

Joe55 · 06-30-2003, 02:13 PM

that's cool Tim. I can just imagine what the cops around there must be saying when they see you two riding down the highway........Oh man, it's going to be a looooong day, with a hell of a lot of overtime.

cops have no chance only if you run out of gas

Tim,
great picts
and a rare sight

Timster · 06-30-2003, 08:56 PM

Thanks for the nice replies.
Yes it is a rare sight having two Kleemann cars side by side.
As for the Cops "Never Run"
I've seen what happens to people that run. When they get caught they fall allot and have to take a screen test.
What is a Screen Test you ask?
That when an officer hand cuffs you, and gently places you in the back of his patrol car. He finds a nice deserted strip of road on the way to the police station. He accelerates to about a hundred miles an hour and slams on the brakes. BAMB your face hits the dividing screen between the front and the back seats. And there’s not a thing you can do your hands are cuffed behind you.
Later,
Tim

Timster... did you decide to keep your CLK?

Timster · 07-02-2003, 12:12 PM

It's still available if anyone’s interested.

Stiggs · 07-02-2003, 06:14 PM

Timster....it sounds like you know what a screen test is from experience!!

Timster · 07-02-2003, 09:41 PM

I was told about it from some one that ran from the police.
I don't need to experience it, the imprint on his face was enough for me!
LOL,
Tim

Timster,

Do you have any installation photos of this vehicle? If so can you posted it for us?

Second, did you ever dyno your vehicle since your supercharger installation? If so can you post it for us? Track time?

Thanks!
