Thumbs up CLS63 v. 997S

we pulled up at a light, i wasnt sure we were gonna go, there were a bunch of cars behind and to the side. the light turns green, i slowly take off, so does he, then a sec later i hear that loud *** engine, i rev mine up to about 5 and drop the clutch, wheel hop, some loss of traction and a little sideways slither . we're off, thru 1 i actually catch him, shift to 2nd and were dead even, my shift to 3rd was a little slow and he started pulling. by 105 (kmh ) the cls was between 3/4 - 1 car ahead.

im waiting for a rematch

Seems these 63s aren't slow after all. Especially beating a 3.8 Carrera from the stoplight because P-Car horses always seem stronger than most and they take off light a bat out of hell.
Good run
