ML63 vs SLK55

hi all ,i own a '07 ml63 and '07 slk55 ,i'm quite surprise at how quick the ml is ,right from take off and it seems the longer distance we dragged the bigger the gap was going to be,i would say after a 1/4mile,the ml opened up gap of over 5 car lengths

the ml63 gets off the line very quickly. id guess that your slk55 is losing a bit of traction on the start, and/or the esp is cutting in on hard launches. though ive never done it, im pretty sure the ml63 is quicker off the line than my m3, which i think is comparable to the slk55. either way, 5 car lengths sounds like a bit much
