CL600 Stock V12TT vs E55 Stage 1

Had a bit of fun with a buddy and his Stage 1 E55 (Pulley and Tune) and my Stock CL600.

We made several rolling runs from about 30 - 100. Each run one of us would get a bit of a jump, whoever got the jump would hold it and not pull away.

These 2 cars a pretty dead even for now, I plan to do a ECU tune so we wanted to see what they would be like before and after.

50 lbs - Spare Tire, jack, tools
20 lbs - Muffler delete

Next up light weight wheels, from there we will see.

Have you done anything to reduce weight ?

Nice race, curious though, what is AMG breaking on your car?

Unless you mean you upgraded the Brake rotors and calipers from an AMG car.

Yes the PO had the stock CL600 break set up swapped out to the CL55 AMG rotors and calipers all around.

See my car the way I got it here ........

What wheels are you running ? Size and weight ?

Have you considered a light weight battery, like Deka, Braille or Shuriken ? Something like a 40lbs weight savings.
