Thanks for posting KIP.
Basically a driver's race.
I was actually impressed that the CLS from a standstill with and without race start was able to be slightly on top on 2 races.
The M5 is arguably underrated and it has catless downpipes so it is like close to 50 hp advantage.
I wish someone would post a similar race with both cars tuned.

CLS63 TT will rape the M5 all day, all night, all seasons, even in a different planet. LOL

i mean tuned vs tuned, but even stock, if CLS driver knows how to luanch it, he will be faster, and what i know is the M5 will beat CLS @ 200km+ but not from 0.

stock CLS63 TT must has LSD and PP for it to beat M5.
