I may develop an inferiority complex if I owned one of those cars.

Stock for stock?

Roll u yer windows fer crying out loud,

When lining up vs a 63 or 55 it you know you will be glued, gotta get the jump . If you are racing a modded 55 simply leave on the 1st honk and then tell the guy what you didnt hear it? ok lets do it again.. honk...leave ...honk honk.. You will likely still be captured

I posted them. Next time we will set up better runs and plan it better. We didn't plan anything before we hit the road so the runs were spur of the moment. Also, first time using the video camera... Be prepared for more videos from the Midwest. Like ENDSMTG said, come on out here, I would love to see someone get SleeperX exed!

Antero's car has too few miles. Yes when NEW the 63 can be sacked. Do this again at 1800 plus and the result will be better for the six three.

doesnt his car have an ECU tune so it wasnt stock for stock, both of these cars in the OP video were stock, but not really because the 63 had filters removed so it should have been stronger than a stock 63

I wish we could've seen the trap speed for the E55. It seems the vid ended JUSt before it was displayed. Pity

I might have to ship my car out there. Those roads are great. Nothing but fields on each side of the road and no lights or stop signs.. Smooth sailing... Are you guys planning to come to the MIR meet. Great video by the way. Sorry I missed your post. I am usually on top of this stuff...

I think what these videos might be telling us is that out of the hole the 63 is just as fast as the E55 and sometimes faster due to its ability to hook better. However from a rolling start, the E55 appears to be much faster. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there was a video with an AMG tech/rep saying that the E63 was almost as fast as the E55 in the 1/4 mile. Similiar to the Z06/E55 debate, from a rolling start it is a completely different story.

The 55 trapped a bit higher. He also ran his worst time was running 12.5@112 most of the day. The 63 was trapping 3 mph less than it did 2 weeks prior. You can review the video in its entirety here

I think the 63 will be more consistant, but it will be very very difficult to match the 55 (stock ) in the 1/4 mile. On the track 63 does better, on the drag strip the 55 driven well should win everytime. I believe 63 does better with traction and this is why you see the 55 getting beaten most of the time on the strip. It is a really fun run. 2 weeks we will have some really good matchups. I will be taking on my first 600, hopefully stock. I will also get a shot at a CLS 55 thats very fast.

And Sleeper you are correct the 55 is .2-.3 faster than the 63 30-70mph, this is why you must beat him out of the hole. 63 will make it up but not until race is over around 115 mph.. the 63 continues to move away at high speed.

I hope it would be faster at high speed. But how do we know this? If the 63 is trapping lower, and gaining less mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4, how do we know it will suddenly make up the difference before the 155 mph limiter kicks in? I can understand making an argument that it "should" or "could" pull away based on gearing, but to say that it "will" do anything seems, imho, a bit too certain. Has there been a high speed race between the two? I am not aware of one.

Again, I would love for the E63 to be faster somewhere. But I haven't seen anything that says it is. At least not on a consistent basis. Anyone?
