Depends on whether the top is fully down or only half way...cuz if its only half way down....then, it'll produce a lot of drag.

You should be able to take him...but on the highway, it'll be close cuz he's got a V8

If I remember correctly, '01 CLK430 conv. V8 produces ~275 HP and 29x torque. So that should be close race but I think CLK will start pulling away from you after a while.

The CLK wont pull away after a while you should take him...the CLK is very heavy and off the line is much slower so make sure you get a good jump and you'll be fine

Weight plays a BIG factor when racing... aren't our cars heavier??
