Lets try this again and I will provide a bit more detail
2007 CLS 63 w/driver weighs 4500lbs!
HP=507
Weather 60 degrees
Altitude 2700 feet
humidity 40%
Pressure 30.14
2007 Z06
3425 lbs
Hp=505
Obviously we have a problem Houston! This Drag should be over quick. Announcer calls my car a 60k land Yacht, **** talk about depreciation! He chuckles at the fact I am lined up in the left lane vs. a track super car. He was not laughing at the end of the run, as the 63 takes down the Z06 by .051 which equals=a few feet. The Vette driver was visibly upset and waited for me , we line up again. No more announcer jokes. Both cars have trouble and I got the jump again. This time I could not hold him off, he reels me in and nudges me at the line. Third race same thing I fail to hold the Z06 off at the end. Overall I was real happy to be that close and to actually win the first race. The track was horrendous and the traction control gave me an advantage. I guess anything can happen on the street, and anything can happen on the drag! Hopefully we earned a little respect from the Vette guys. I am certain he thought he would destroy the 63, his film crew captured it as well.
