Something doesn't look right

My friend and I have had several of these types of races.

He (at the time) had a bone stock E55, and I have a Renntech SL65. He's got the K4 kit in the E55 now.

Anyway, either that CLS was full of passengers, OR the SL wasn't bone stock, but I was never able to smoke my buddy that bad.

That's what it looks like to me anyway..

My friend has my old CLS55 K-1 and I consistently beat him in my SL. Not as extreme as the video due to the K1. CLS55 has the launch advantage but that's where it ends and ends fast.
