surprised with the outcome, i would of figured the lighter weight of the crossfire would give it the advantage.

The CLS obviously makes way more power. That crossfire probably running stock boost, definitely not making 600whp trapping 123

I thought Jim (Crossfire) was closer to 600 crank HP... Definitely not 600rwhp, probably closer to 500rwhp. To my knowledge he's not running any pullies, just the ECU tune and cutouts. I've ridden in the car before, total hoot. Jim's PB is 11.2 IIRC...

The CLS is a beast, I never cease to be amazed by the new biturbo motor. That sound captured on the second angle is

Great run for both cars.
