That last video was very very cool... that benz must be super fast. The new Z is underated, most are laying down a min of 440 rwhp some in the 460's stock after break-in.

Where's taht video of the silver Z stomping the Gallardo?

That CL65 had ~650rwhp. A flash and exhaust is way more than what you would think, but with those cars it's a lot.

It's pretty much impossible that it had ~650 rwhp...not without a different tranny....actually is it but it won't last very long...

They come with 604 at the crank from the factory and 738 ft-lb torque.....
It's purposly detuned from the factory because it's about the maximum torque the tranny will take...about 1000nm....

I've read that on Mercedes forums..

No it's very possible. A guy known as Treynor, who posts on here once in a while has one with a chip and tune and it is in the ~650rwhp. Just because the factory can't warrant the tranny with any more power doesn't mean that the motor can't be modded. That car is definately over 600rwhp. Search around for it, it is well known. :beer:

It looks like GM just bought an SRT-10 viper and just made a copy of the front end.

Except that their version of the Viper is much easier to live with and is much faster.

That first video looked like it was at Bowling Green. I wish the camera man had zoomed in on the times.

Good eye. :thumbsup: That is Beech Bend raceway. It's just a couple miles form the Corvette plant. :)
