raced s63 with CL600 (o7)

raced an s63 on highway and went from about 50-115 he started out 1/2 car length in front when we started...i slowly walked him the whole time excwpt maybe to 70....I ended up with my car about 1/2 car length ahead...so it is about a car length in total probably a little more realistically. I felt great all day....
my 600 is stcok.thos 63's look sweet though

Cool race, if u had the room to go to 150 u would have put more car lengths on him, when u change ur ecu it gets worse for the 63

Hmm, does a current stock-600 reach 150mph at all? I thought they had a lower limiter (130mph) than the AMG's (155mph)?

That's what I heard about the current model (2007&up)...

Are you sure? I attached a link from caranddriver.com

http://www.caranddriver.com/roadtest...enz-cl600.html

The spec-sheet

http://www.caranddriver.com/assets/d...mbcl600_ss.pdf

and test-sheet

http://www.caranddriver.com/assets/download/0706_mbcl600_ts.pdf

are interesting as well. Of course, you never know if their statements are correct and if they really tested the cars. I also read that a possible limit of 130mph could be due to the speed-rating of the stock-tires..

I also read a few posts that it has something to do with this package, bu that, I simply don't know.

I searched this forum and out of 6 people, 3 are going to tell you the top speed is 130mph and the other 3 are sure it's 155mph..

I simply can't believe that car and driver would post these wrong numbers - but once again, I wouldn't bet on it. I've seen so many wrong info about MB-cars before..

I could end the speculation...
but i need a nice day, I will not take the CL out in the rain. NOr would i drive it over 130 unless it was a perfect circumstance....hehehe to be continued
