Mercedes C63 AMG Versus Lexus LFA in Nitto's Battle of the Streets



Nitto's "Battle of the Streets" bracket is full of supercars, muscles cars, and European exotics, all going head to head on the streets of L.A. Fortunately, we can deem this a valid competition, because they've included a Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series.

That was a stupid video.

All of the matchups were already pre-decided before they even took off. The only one I wasn't sure about was the GT3 vs the "Dragquoia" figuring it was some sort of drag monster, instead it got smoked big time.

458 vs RS5? please
Aventador vs Phantom? Really now?
C63 (wow do they not know how to read CLK?) vs LFA? Stock to stock definite loser, which they had JRcarts CLK there......

This video was an absolute joke so far.

What a joke. Let's ignore for a moment, that our illustrious site doesn't even know to point out that they got the MB totally wrong.

"This year the tire manufacturer invited 16 of the world’s fastest streetcars to Los Angeles for Nitto’s “Battle of the Streets.” To set the event off, Nitto persuaded the city of Los Angeles to close the 6th Street Bridge, then supplied the cars with a set of Nitto Tires, and seeded them in the bracket to face off against one another."

On what planet are these even 'some' of the world's fastest streetcars? The "Dragquoia" with a blower out the hood, massive slicks, and a PARACHUTE, couldn't beat a GT3 in a straight-line drag race? You can go on 1320Video at any time, any day, at random, and pick the first thing you see and it will beat any of those cars.

Here you go lol: http://speedsociety.com/volvo-amazon...g-ferrari-458/

Yes, a Volvo.

That's one of the most embarrassing brand videos I've ever seen. I'm ashamed to run Nitto DRs...
