Has anyone done a SL55 vs. SL63 (both stock!) drag in real life yet?

55 is quicker in a drag race. 63 will eventually win at speeds above 125mph.

55 slightly quicker stock for stock, but heatsoak on FI engine can be an issue, conditions alike the tq in the 55 will pull it out in front of the 63 a bit; now once you throw mods into the picture it's anybody's game!
