You will definitely have more of a chance from 0-100 than a 50mph+ roll. Still, if he can get enough traction off the line, you're dead

I raced my brothers SL65 the other day , It was not a pretty sight...
His 65 is extremely modified, He has about 825hp. Up to 80mph the 63 kept up pretty good, After that there was no comparison whatsoever, I recommend u dont step up to that car... Anyway Heres a pic of our cars together.

Sixty Five has no chance against the sixty three, absolutely none.

I raced a 63 and a stock 55 at three different lights going to a recent meet in my 65. These were stop light runs up to about 70 mph and it wasnt close and I had the most wheel spin of the three cars. Lets just say that if its a rolling race, say goodbye ...

we all know reality Vic, why spoil the fantasy, the dream man... dam. Better question is have you raced a modded 63 one with a spare 63 in the trunk..LOL How about a 63 with NO CHARCOAL FILTERS , look out man ,let the mods begin

I am sorry- my bad

But yes let the mods begin ... hopefully there will be enough gains for me to justify trading in my 55 for a white E63 with a pano ...

I was there and can vouch for Vic on the fact that he pulled on an E55 and an E63. But from the numbers that I have seen from the E63 vs. the CLS63 I'd like to see the CLS63 vs. Vic's CL65. I know he'll still walk me but I'd like to see how badly.

As for the SL65 vs. your CLS63, make sure your filters are removed, your AC is off, and you're starting from a dead stop, but even then the 65 is an absolute uber-car . You won't stand a chance.

How? He dropped a grip of money on Kleeeman mods, I think he has the ecu and the transmission chipped as well, not sure what else but I could find out if u need it. He also has a black/red slr and his sl65 smokes it after 130. I'll post pics next time I see him.

Im sorry, but you dont stand a chance...only if he spins do you have a little chance...just dont run him over 100mph, those cars really shine in the higher speeds.

There are more than a few members with higher than 825 numbers. Don't recall which now but I am sure they'll step forward soon to claim some credit. Go read the SL65 board and you'll see a bunch of guys with 750+ I remember seeing a dyno once that read something insane like 916 RWHP.
