Good Videos Carl!! Seems the 65 is running like an Ox...

I would die for something like this in the states.

Rolling starts > dead stop drag races in terms of proving which car is really faster.

Dead stop drag = driver skill especially. No doubt the modded CL65 AMG is extremely fast but from a rolling start, I'd bet the M6 would take over the CL only at extremely high speeds. Maybe over 300 km/h.

Notice that the CL65 started to pull away as speed increased? Don't think it would matter where they started the race.

I've seen all of these before but it never hurts to see them again. I'm no Z06 expert but I'm surprised that the chipped and exhaust C6 Z06 only gained 25hp from stock form.

yea man,I spend hours watching these videos,just look at the provider of the video's they have like 368 video's posted.


To me these blow the garbage videos of Gustav away! These vids are more real to me.

RI believe they have something like this that goes on in south Florida annually and I know they definitely have it in Texas called the Texas mile. Get that baby tuned or put a standalone in her and your beast will feel at home in either of those two events.

Dude cmon

But but it's true!

Rolling > dead stop in terms of showing which car is faster.
The modded Cl65 AMG was clearly faster though. I'll give it that.

And pulling like there was no tomorrow. No way would the M6 ever catch that cl65 back!

Cue the "Wait till the twisties...." comments.

I can't wait to put a beat down on my first M6. I've tried....they never play.

Benz-O-Rama

Is it me, or does it look like the Z06 let off, around the :27 mark? You can see the headlights dip, like he let off. Looks like maybe he was a little too close to that wall for comfort, and realized it.

Those Z06's hit a wall in 6th gear. gear is to tall.

From my limited experience, I think that the M high revving N/a engines are overrated when it come to there top end. Don't blindly give in to the hype that M cars will murder AMGs over 100 mph.

93 Octane ABC

Well they won't murder the V12 Biturbos or the new V8 Biturbos at least...

Ya, the 65s have always been insane, even stock, while the new 5.5TT with performance pkg also sounds like a total beast from the factory. Nice jump from the 6.2, which only reached its full potential with the modified internals released in the later years.

Regarding Gustav I've always enjoyed his videos.

It's not the top end of the motors that gives them an edge over 100, it's the gearing. The Benz gearing is much taller over 100 (in particular on the five speeds), so the M5's have an advantage there. I did a comparison one time of the gearing/rear end /torque multiplication of the two, and the Benz does lose quite a bit once it hits fourth gear, while the M5's seven speed has much closer ratios.
