I don't know if maybe i'm not reading your post correctly, but Jeep SRT8s are wickedly good off the light. There are videos of them smoking the ML63 AMGs off the line and then the ML63 pulls back and passes the jeep.

ML63 wins both rounds?

i have read in a thread that the ML63 in those two videos you posted is not stock. tune and exhaust if i remember correctly.

and just to stay on topic, if anyone wants to discuss the two, there is already a thread for it here:

I guess the question is, will the power and torque converter of an ML63 allow for consistent 1.8 60fts?

I meant the stock c63 vs srt-8.

Its the Ml63s 5k+ lbs which slows them down. I ran one off the line I hooked up and was about a car ahead.

Ah, i see it now. Yea, i just threw up a query on youtube and those were the first videos i found. Seemed too good to be true.

The same can be said of the Jeep SRT-8 as well but does the ML63 have an aggressive 1st gear overall ratio?

Even more importantly, was the ML63 you raced doing a brake torque?

It didn't sound like he brake trq. But I kept on pulling because the Ml63s have brick like aerodynamics.
