Black CL65 vs Red C5 Z06 video
Hey all,
new to this forum....I don't have a MB, but my boss lends me his S 430 "4 matic" awesome car, and in our harsh Montreal winters, the AWD is amazing, i rather be in that car than any jeep.
here is a vid of a CL65 racing a C5 Z06.
http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....&term=cl65&p=0
any idea who this CL 65 is? Was it a CL65? and the mods? I posted the same vid on the Z06 forum, and I can't find out the mods on that Z06 either.
anyway, just curious...
thanks

I did a few searches, on CL65 and Z06, and i can't find anything about this as a repost. I could only find the race of the C6 Z06 vs CL 65... the Z06 in this video is a C5 previous generation.

If MB has decided to produce CL65's since then that are slower, then my mistake. Here is the link with video to the previous discussion of C6 Z06 vs CL65. LINK

2. now you are saying that can see v12 on the fender? i see more than just v12.
3. agreed cant see the exhaust
4. i searched and youre right this video wasnt posted here but ive seen it on another forum, ill look for the link
5. did anyone hear any beeps of the horn or anything else that would let us know 100% that the cl65 was racing?
6. and if in fact they were racing, do you guys not see the gauges in the vette on the pillar? i def dont think its stock

Soemthing is definaltey wrong there... Thats a C5 Z06 and honestly stock or not, there is a video of a Real CL65 racing a 2006 Z06 and the CL65 takes him near the end. This video is pure 
Check out this video, this is a real race: http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....346FC&kw=2&p=0
And yes the CL65 is a powerhouse, get your frealin speakers on for this one...
Z06 is a monster btw!

That Z06 was not stock in any way. From the looks of it it had a boost and air/fuel pods. I couldn't realy hear the blower but it most likely was a Vortec SQ (quiet version) where the gears are cross cut. Prochargers and Maggies make a ton of noise. My buddy has a a C5 ZO6 Procharger and he puts down 680wheel HP and it will soon be 850wheel hp with his new 427ci, 16psi and 9.0cr.
The second video was kind of sad, even though the CL65 won, it did win by much against a stock ZO6. I guess my expectations were too high for a car that is $165+

Im not sure i get your point here. The C6 Z06 is a 11 second car stock, beating a stock C6Z is pretty good in my book.

Hmmm.
Of course none of us were actually there, but looking @ the end of the 2nd video clip makes me wonder what a quick lane change @ 165mph must feel like in a CL600 or CL65? I see those vehicles entering the roadway.
Hopefully, I'll find out in the very near future...safely, of course!

Here are pics of the cars before and during the race. It is definitely a C6 Z06 and a CL65. LINK The first video in car is a C5 Z06 with a blower. Depending on the setup, between 500 and 800 hp.
