95 C36 vs 97 SL 500
I was going at a leisurely pace when this sl 500 passes real fast. The red light comes up. I see there are 2 young guys. So I signal to run,they agree. To around 90mph I get them by 2 cars. The same outcome at the next light. I guess they never learn. The lbs on the sl 500 kills them. The older sl500 has 315hp. Again my I6 268hp surprises me.

I just ran again some young blonde in a red R230 SL500. She was driving really aggresively to catch up to me, then at the light she keeps on inching forward. So I thought to myself, why the hell not?
Similar outcome to your kill.

The C36 is a good deal lighter than the SL500, but it also has 67 less ft-lbs of torque. On paper, they should be rather even to those speeds. Looks like you have a strong C36.
Or maybe you just raced an SL500 with worn rear tires.
