Who won the first match?

I noticed the Cobra was fish tailing a bit on the second run. Yet came much closer at the finish line.

Was the ESP system on in the E55?. I didn't see any evidence of tire spin. Straight as an arrow.

Very impressive E55 performance and great video work!

I read lots about the blistering performance of the E55. A four door sedan!

Being a fan of the SL ... does any one know how the SL55 would run against the E55? There is likely only .1 second difference 0 to 60mph.

Are SL55 and E55 the motors, transmission, etc basically the same set-up? Weight would be an issue. Which is heavier?

ChrisB,

Study the second run from the camera behind how from the center of the lane I came across the white line and then got the car to the center again, that was wheel spin, I didn't even bother heating up the tires. The ESP was off. I would love to see a SL55, S55 or a S600 locally and see the results...

Chris B:
COmpare With SL55, CL55, I think, E55 would still be faster, although the spec said the SL55 and CL55 has more horsepower(493 vs 469). But, with SL600 or CL600, I think it would be very close, maybe the V12 would be faster, anyone outhere have any 600 or 55 series to be tested against 03e55amg for fun?:P

I can stay even with S600 ,after I did ECU and pulley.
If the 600 has Renntech ECU,fat chance!

(Had '03 CL 600,now E55 Renntech)
