Was the CL racing?
j/k, the TA looked frantic while the CL kept coming like a freight-train going downhill. Seemed like the CL even was a "gentleman" about letting the TA have the jump Did you see them go past those other cars......

I think it can run the 1/4 in 3 seconds

Despite channeling 22 psi of turbo boost, the SL65 doesn't snap you back into your seat like an American V8 — it rolls over you like roaring thunder. In the real world, a quarter-mile sprint of 12.46 seconds rarely ever happens. In a 4,500-pound car, it never happens. In the 4,564-pound SL65, it happened.

I agree. It didn't look like he was stressing his car in the slightest bit...just teasing the TA the whole time.

I think the initial jump of the T/A was because he sprayed. The cl65 needs some time to spool up those turbo's and roar into extasy.

The T/A definetly got the smackdown layed out on him. The Cl65 = ownage. Id love to see the Cl65/SL65 with full RENNtech tranny/engine ECU mods.

I'd love to see the CL65/SL65 with full KLEEMANN tranny/engine ECU mods.
If the 740 HP claim is correct, I belive that will be very close to 600 RWHP!!!
I think that T/A runs 11.5 @ 120 mph in the 1/4!
Great video!

The funniest **** was.The guy arrived at the spot and came out of the car talkin on the cellphone.He then spend around 30 more minutes talkin on the cellphone,even while we were setting up the race with him.Then during the race,he was actually still on the cell phone.That's when you know you have a fast car,when you can race while talkin on the damn phone. :headbang: :headbang:
