CLK63 Black Series

I was surprised at how quick the S was off the line.

Also that helicopter pilot has got guts to fly between the trees like that.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).

Nice video. Wet condition...has anyone ever lost control and went for the rails in one of those drag races.

By the way, I always wonder what would be the top speed of stock AMG cars with 6.2 or 5.5 TT engine with speed limit removed and allowed to go on in a straight line...ie on a salt flat.

Don't forget, its in the rain. 60 ft was probably horrible. The porsche, nissan gt ,and audi's with all wheel drive still turn decent time. Thats crazy in the rain, and with a helicopter overhead in btween the trees. Looks cool though.
edit: sorry, thats in Moscow, I watched this racing the other night, every car you can think of. Youtube it.

That CLS63 has a higher 1mile trap speed than a 670bhp stage 2 Ecutek GTR (296kmh vs 291kmh). If you take off 2sec from the 30.1sec ET to compensate for the wheelspin, this CLS should comfortably do the mile in 28sec... This also suggests that the car is capable of doing 0-300kmh in around 30sec -- faster than a MP4-12c!! Not bad for a 4door 1.9 tonne car eh?
