'03 SL55 vs Brabus SL7.3 - Who would win?

Was looking at the Brabus website today (for sale section) and saw a SL7.3 (R129) for sale. The specs seemed pretty nice and it made me think which one of these would win in a race.
In my opinion it would be a very close race.

[edited: inserted the R129 and corrected a spelling error.]

SL55 AMG
There isn't, it was a version of the 129, and like so much Brabus stuff, completely over the top.

Drag race ?
Road race ?
Track race ?
0 to 150 to 0 ?

What is the weight to power ratio of these cars?

I think the 55

The SL55 is probably lighter and it has the speedshift gearbox so its acceleration should be faster. The difference would be close untill they got to higher speeds where the aerodynamics and better gearbox would give the SL55 a definate advantage.
