Intense run with the modded M6 (in Mexico of course)
My friend has been saying the modded M6 (450WHP) will keep up with the modded CL65 (559WHP) in high speed run. So off we went and had three amazing runs. I couldn't capture them on the video since all the runs needed full drivers attention. I would say this is the most crazy run I ever did and I don't think I will ever do this again.
1st run: 100-180mph (speed indicated on the CL65)
CL65 wins by I would say about 12 car lengths
2nd run: 120-180mph (speed indicated on the CL65)
CL65 wins by I would say about 10 car lengths
3rd run: 150-200mph!!!! (speed indicated on the CL65)
CL65 wins by I would say about 6 car lengths
What's amazing was both cars were still accelerating at 200mph!!!
On a side note; it appears that the M6 had a speedometer error when CL65 showed 200mph, M6 speedometer indicated 212mph.

Interesting! My father had an M6 for a while and I didn't know how it stacked up against the faster MBs. CLs were rare enough in the UK, let alone the AMG models!
He never took it up to high speed (well no more than 150mph). It used to garner a lot of attention from other people on the motorway, usually Mitsubushi Evos, Imprezas and the ilk. His tactic was to take the care up to about 140mph, then just settle back to 85mph/90mph, his usual highway speed. He felt his point had been made

What mods did the M6 have? Its amazing how hard they pull at super high speeds.

Nice runs!!! There seems to be a certain myth that the M5/M6 will pull on the the 65's above 150mph. I know your car isn't exactly stock ...but neither was your M6. I am glad that your CL65 acquitted itself so well up top. 
Do you run 91 octane on the CL65?

Yes, both cars ran w/ crappy CA 91 octane. Someone told me that ecu modded CL65 runs better with 100 octane. I think its a BS but what do I know?

Greg is this the same M6 that we raced almost a year ago? Did you buy it off your buddy?
My M6 was slower back then but still wont hold a candle to your 65

Yes indeed, my near stock SL600 TT loves
race gas the difference is very noticable.
I've talked w/Vadim/VRP & he told me that basic CA 91 is very poor grade gasoline, & 93 or better will really wake the car up & bring out the full factory or tuned potential.

side note: 1 thing I've noticed using 93-100 octane is from a dead stop ala' stoplight & romp the pedal she'll light up the tires & continue thru the entire intersection until I lift off the gas, vs using 91 octane the tires light up but traction cntrl quickly intervenes cutting power & applying brakes shortly after initial short burnout etc.. (Both these tests of mine are done w/ESP off)With high octane it changes the character of the car, & no it's not just extra worn tires as I've ran it multiple times w/91 octane vs 93-100....
