Hemi

Is it really that fast? Do you think a Hemi can even compete with a CLS?

What hemi? The present ones or the 426 2X4's 425hp of yesteryears? Neither can. I ran my friend's new Charger 3 times and beat him all 3. He said to me: "Your car is faster than mine". The old 1969 Cuda with the 426 ran 13.7 at 101.2 trap back in the days.

It doesn't take much to get a challenger or cuda to run 9's 1/4 miles, but those cars are worth half a mil now so it's non-existent for anyone now to really run drag.

The 5.7, A buddy of mine bought a 300C Hemi, he claims its faster but I didnt think so. Plus I doubt that the tranny and just the overall car couldnt compete with a CLS55/63. What about the CLS500/550?

The SRT8 is definitely a challenge for a 500/550. For an AMG you shouldn't have a problem.
