CLK vs. 997C4S vert.

It's kind of funny that instead of addressing the speed differences between the cars, and the claim that you supposedly spotted a 12 second car a full second in a 14 second car and still pulled him from 30-100, you just launch into ad hominem attacks and try to divert attention from the facts.
Why might that be?

,and they have nothing to do with me.i can't help you. good luck!
And why am I not surprised that there is still no link?
So again: produce the video if you can, and explain its relevance to your imaginary race....I mean, you do have a point you're trying to make somewhere here, right?
This is CLK55 territory, and you got there with a chip and exhaust, oh, and you even managed to do it launching in winter mode??? How would this help, exactly?
The Best of Mercedes & AMG
But hey, genius, guess what? Neither are relevant here, because:
1) you are in New Jersey, not Denver, and so was the Porsche you supposedly ran;
2) the Porsche you supposedly ran is AWD and would be unaffected by severe spin;
3) you supposedly ran him from a roll, ruling out any possibility of a launch error on his part.
4) you already admitted that you gave him a jump. So if he runs a 12.7, guess what? Subtract one second from that from your perspective, as you just started the race one second after he did, given that you would first have to see him jump on it, react, make decision to stomp it, stomp it, have the car react/downshift, etc etc etc....and in this one second, starting at 30 mph at full throttle, his car would have already been going 12 mph faster than yours.
So how is it possible, then, that he never managed to get past your bumper?
YOU stated that he "whipped around" you and stomped it, and THEN you got on it AFTER seeing this. So are you a robot? Do you have zero reaction time? Zero time from reaction to decision? Zero time from decision to nail gas? Zero time for car to downshift?
Didn't think so.
So how is it possible for him not to gain on you while he's at full throttle and you're still reacting, stomping, waiting for car to downshift? Do you have a "back to the future" car that allows you to go back in time to the instant where your opponent stomps on the gas??
And oh, what's that about a convertible being slower, and oh, the race was from a roll, so gee, that explains it, right?
So I guess the new M3 V8 should have no trouble with one of those slow ragtops from a roll, then...right?
997 Carrera S ragtop vs M3 V8:
And oh, you CLAIM to trap at 105, eh? Gee, that's what Cayman S's trap at, isn't it? Hmm, wonder how badly that Cayman S would beat the Carrera S?
Click and see:
So, there you have it: these races were run with both cars starting at the same time. YOU claim that he jumped on it first, and yet you still pulled him??
Bull*****. Absolute, total bull*****.
What you are describing is simply not possible. The numbers show it, the weight to power ratings of the cars show it, videos show it, and here is one more for you:
997 C4S runs a low 12:

I got a buddy in the Air Force, he can quite literally "fly by" your two (or one) wheeled contraption like you are standing still.
, but it's fun to read at the same time
We also raced from a roll (I haven't captured that one) and we both started at 30 and we ran door to door up to 125-130 where Mercedes would start to slowly pull on me.
All races were done in Sport Plus mode and without power brake - therefore Mercedes always got a jump (from a dig) but because of the PDK I would always gain it all back immediately after start.
This video is worth watching:

And by the way, to the guy who said that well driven S5 can keep up with CLS 63 AMG; all I can say that it is totally impossible. I own MTM A5 with 3.0 TDI engine that produces 310BHP and 640NM and is just as fast as Audi S5 (confirmed). There is absolutely no way of stock S5 keeping up with CLS63AMG at any speed. S5 actually doesn't even beat 335i.
