Fast cars in general....
Stock 06 CLS55 vs Stock 08 Corvette (auto)
I am in the process of making the real world road test video and I hope this gives an idea of how these cars perform on the road under normal driving condition.
Here is a video clip of me (bone stock corvette, auto, 361whp) running against my friend's bone stock CLS55 (412whp). As I was getting ready I completely forgot about the putting the gear in 2nd so the corvette started in D. While corvette was busy down shifting the CLS advanced and had 2 car lenghs advantage right from the beginning. As speed increases corvette was able to reel the CLS in. If the both cars started in 2nd gear then the race would have been very different. My friend is getting the R compound tires so the next race should be coming up soon. Stay tuned.

nice work..
361RWHP + 3200lbs car= fast sports car
412RWHP + 4200 car = fast 4 door car, but definately needs more gears.
LS3 has pontential to be a beast.. with simple bolt ons.
