I saw a video on best motoring comparing m5 and cls55 amg and so it seems that the cls is a bit quicker at 1/4 mile. They tested both cars with traction control and without and in both cases the cls was faster. I would want to see a race between M5 and cls 55 amg but m5 giving it's full potential (european launch control).

About the SL65 AMG video i'm not surprised. That SL is a moster. With a chip and exhaust i saw SL 65 doing 11,4 sec at 1/4 mile.

That's the file name. You can download it from mininova.com at tv shows/uk.

It has 777 mega so it's quite big.
I want to make a few drawbacks. The CLS won only in automatic mode.. (reviewed the movie)

1/4 times in automatic:
CLS 55 AMG ON 12,901 OFF 12,752
BMW M5 ON 13,480 OFF 13,074.
The times where in automatic mode in mode sport or the sportiest.

In SMG mode: 13,174 for mb and 13,144 for bmw.
I don't think bmw used launch control at this run though.

Other than that the m5 won at:
-braking: in shorter distance and with more G's on braking (over 1,02 G at all runs).
-slalom: cls 17,404 sec / m5 15,451 sec.

Also on a track with time sectors here's how the m5 handled against an m3 csl and a porsche 997 carrera s.

total lap time / split 1 / split 2 / speed
Porsche:
1,41,419 / 16,059 / 24,604 / 206,1 km/h
M3 CSL:
15,743 / 24,728 / 204,2 km/h
M5:
16,120 / 25,072 / 216,4 km/h
(the total lap time for the cls and m5 is not given).

Then they had a race typical for best motoring: M5, 997 carrera s, csl, gt-r and galliardo.
The most important thing is that the galliardo won on the final lap at photo finish, m3 and m5 following it. So funny how the csl tryed to overtake the m5 but couldn't do it because although the csl was faster aroudn corners while m5 was litteraly drifting not to loose it's spot, then the m5 kept detaching on the straights as it was more powerfull and better gearbox. Then the csl caught it again aroudn corners and againg lost on straights. IT was a dead even.

THIS TEST WAS TAKEN IN PROFFESIONAL RACING CONDITIONS, BY PROFFESIONAL RACIND RIVERS, WITH PROFFESIONAL MEASURING GADGETS

It was more than conclusive in all perspectives at all cars. It was fun to watch although i didn't understand much from those japaneese comments.

No flames here. No problem with reporting on what happens--either way. No excuses; it's the way it was. But, I guess I could have said "yeah, but the M5 is about way more than ...."

Would appear LC makes big difference as recent R&T results using non US LC had 12.4 and 186.4km/h
