Last time I posted a video of a BMW M5 manual transmission racing a Mercedes CL63 AMG on an airport runway and beating the Benz pretty badly. This time I have a SMG equipped BMW M5 racing the actual CL63 that the other BMW raced. This time the result is similar but the bimmer is even faster. Here is the video:

The M5 is an amazing machine.

 

Love the sound of that M5

 

wow. that cl63 looked slow. something isnt right

 

6mt>auto but still it sure did look slow.

 

That video is bogus-the SURE way to tell a legit race with an M v. a torque monster like the AMG is watching the start. Providing it is a reasonable start for the torque monster-cars like AMG will pull HARD ahead from the bottom end and then within time the M car reels em in and overpasses at the top end.

This shows the M getting "jump" from standstill-that would NEVEr happen unless the merc driver is napping

 

Even though it does have massive power the Cl is pretty pretty heavy (700+lbs) and more in line with the 7 series than a 5 series. If this is a comparison, it should be how well the CL63 can still keep up.

The E63 and the M5 is is within 50lbs of each other, both about 4050 lbs. This would be a better race.

The CL is over 4750lbs.

 

I have to disagree, I always take my friend off the line he has a CLK550 I a 545i. he catches up within a car length and I can assure you neither of us are napping lol

 

This is more typical of a race between e63 and a M5 from a stand still.

on a roll the E63 would be even or behind depending on the speed.

 

E started before the M.....guy in the M was napping, kind of embarrassing to show a comparison like this if they didnt start together. Clowns at Motor Trend.

 

if you look closer they started about the same, but bottom line is the measured times also show the M5 as slower. But if if you look at many of the other vids and times the M5 is stronger in the upper speeds. Oh the M also handles a little better too.
