Thumbs up VERY NICE!

OMG, what a sweet video...

Too bad the C200 in the video had the panoramic sunroof, which we all know adds 44 lbs. Maybe it would have stood a chance against the SL55AMG if it was a Kleeman C20k, help bring the power/weight ratio up.

Damn, and I thought the previous video was cool (David vs. E55 and A230 or something). This one is much more enjoyable

That's the funniest thing I've ever seen... the worst is that you can see the amount of body roll the C200K has in the corners... they'll have to redo that test if they ever release an AMG version of the coupe.

A C32 AMG Coupe is no match for an SL55 AMG, CLK-DTM, or a Formula 1 car.

No need to redo the test because the result will be the same.

note that the c-coupe was the 200 flavour... and it was 66 seconds behind.

now a c230k would only be 65 seconds...
c230k w/ a pulley upgrade? 64 seconds...
c32 coupe AMG? my swag is 62 seconds

-

btw, is there any way to save the video?

Very very cool..

But I will swear to you it's a remake of an ad or a vehicle training film from the eighties which featured Prosche doing the same thing.

Or maybe it was Ferrari.

I remember it specifically because the F1 car started about half a lap behind in that one too.

Still fun though!

It should show up in your internet cache.

Right click on the link, and then goto "Save As" and just place it on your desktop or whichever folder you desire.

You need a program called TMPGenc. It should let you convert asf/asx files to mpeg and such and save them on your hardrive.

Here is a link for the latest version: http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html

I hope you have a computer that is faster than 500mhz because otherwise it will take a while!

I think they should test a C32 too. Plus use the C230 with a pulley, should be at least a couple seconds faster, should have used a C7 too.

I havn't tried to use it with this clip. I've tried it with asf files before and it has worked and the two files are very similiar. I'm not sure but you might need an extra plugin or something.
