I've driven an auto performance car before, and it is boring, but those high dollar ones make you look like a rock star in a race.

Don't like winning lol? The high horse power thing with a stick didn't really work out, but if thats what is cool then...

I was there, the guys that brought out that c class also had a beast 1000hp clk and a 750ish whp E63.


That Shelby was insane. I checked it out but it honestly didn't look like a 1000whp car at all when he got on it. I think he had some shitty NT05r's on there too.

Yeah, the big horsepower guys go auto but I just don't enjoy it. And my point is auto's are fast. Just floor it and hold on, ha.

Here's that car versus a TwinTurbo Corvette

They're saying it did 178 miles an hour in the half mile (!)

Looked like the Shelby was coming back near the top end. Traction probably isn't his best friend.

So it's not a C63 BS, but a CLK63 BS?

Either one, that Benz is a monster.

Just realized the 2nd video the op posted was indeed the CLK 63 black series because it was silver with the CCW classics Drag pack and the first one was the c63 black series which was matte white

So they post the numbers for the shelby but none for the Benz?? Fast car but that would not be fun for me just mashing the gas. Cool event though, I am sure plenty of fast cars there

both cars squirly on that second vid

The AMG speed shift transmissions with steering wheel mounted paddles are awesome.
Lots of fun in a lux car that you can manually control the gears when you want to, but leave it in auto and it shifts like butter when you want to cruise.

710rwhp Vette should trap almost 150mph in the ¼. So either you guys are putting down 1,000rwhp (Cobra) or that Vette owner cant drive.

For reference, I raced a buddy that traps 141 in the ¼ and I stayed right next to him (spinning a bit) and I put down 842rwhp.

When I was at 700rwhp I raced a friend in his C6 Z06 with 569rwhp (trapped 132mph) and we were dead even.
