Wow, that's totally stock eh? My truck is right about there (slightly more torque, slightly less RWHP). With my auto (w/valve body) against the V's manual, it should be a drivers race.
I can't understand how someone who owns a C63 couldn't appreciate a CTSV. I myself pretty much like anything real fast and would have to drive both cars before picking one (if I was in a position to do so). I post on SVTperformance.com a lot because even though it is a Ford SVT site, for the most part anyone's welcome and most all understand that there is always someone with a faster, better, badder car then yours. Get used to it and be glad that we live in a time when there are 500hp four door sedans waiting on showroom floors. Who cares what showroom.

LOL. I myself was a Acura forum dude way back then... a certain handful of people here sure sounds like your typical fan boy with deeper pockets or richer parents (I'm not sure). Even if they claim that they are not, their comments tell otherwise.

Hey 2ton, always loved those svt lightnings. Probally the best looking sports pickup ever made. Wanted to get one as a winter vehicle until i realized they're rwd. Thats a big no can do in the chicago winters.

I needed a HotRod that I could keep my surfboard in while I was at work. fits the bill perfectly.
Oh but wait, this is an MB forum. Sorry.

Quick question for the C63 pilots,... how much is MB charging these days for TeleAid subs? After rollin' with OnStar for nearly two months, I'm seriously thinking about re-activating my TeleAid in the C32. I do understand that I have to get the system converted from analog to digital,... that price is doable. But I can't seem to get a fix on what the sub is, and would like to know that before deciding whether or not spending money on the conversion makes sense. Thanks!

Well I told you guys I'd be back here if and when I got a chance to lock horns with a C63 and update you folks on the outcome. Well,... it happened.

Well let's just say the ole CTS-V didn't do as well as I thought it should have done. And can we just leave it at that? I don't wanna talk about it anymore!

Really? Do you know if the C63 AMG was tuned? I thought the CTS-V traps ~ 118-119mph in the 1/4mi. any day of the week. I know the V is heavy @ > 4,000lb. but that thing has a detuned s/c'd ZR-1 engine making 556HP...so what's the deal?

You guys just sit back relax and give it a few days.
A forum member here wants to run his 09 CTS-V and I will be running him. We will get a C63 out there also so we will have all 3 cars in 1 night with videos to see what happenes. We just havn't set up a date yet which I'm going to try to push before this monday before I go on vacation for a week.

Oh yeah, that's right... they had to SUPER CHARGE the V to get that level of performance. Perhaps that has something to do with it?
I naturally aspire.

Man this thread has some legs!
All I know is that we live in some pretty cool times when these two mnfgs, Mercedes and Cadarack make these two muscle cars.
