I love the comment some guy makes before the run that it doesn't look fast.

People that think a car has to "look" fast to be fast, make me laugh.

So, does anybody see a reason not to have a 4 door that hauls a$$ ?

Could you see the look on the face of a vette driver left in the dust? Ha.

Wow. I remember seeing an S600 doing low 12's at FIR in Chandler, AZ last season, but 10's? That's just sick.

most upper cars if they have a lot of power and Automatic trannys you can enable the traction control where if you even put the gas pedal to the flow it won't do a "burn out" and it has plenty of power to.
my guessing is he had this on. but he launched it NICE.

i doubt an ECU is making that car a 10 second car.

You'd be suprised what a reflash/tune can do....especially on a car with two turbos on top of a V12. Mercedes most likely had an extremely conservative tune so the 70 year olds behind the wheel don't kill anyone. I think it runs high 11's stock though

I ran against a bone stock SL55 AMG when I first got my CL-S at MIR (maryland International Raceway) and it ran a 13.2 in the 1/4

you're a fucking chucklehead. The car makes mid/high 13's stock.

Certainly helps that the sled weighs almost 5,000 lbs to get the power down.
