As two quick Mercs line up against each other in order to see which moves on to challenge the 900 PS Chrysler, it’s safe to say we’re in for some really solid 1/4 mile times.
With 750 PS on tap, we have the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG, rocking a Ramon Performance tune. Its 4Matic all-wheel drive should give it an advantage off the line over the slightly more powerful 770 PS Morendi-Weistec C63 AMG (W204), though their times are fairly similar.
The 900 PS turbocharged Chrysler 300C should definitely have its hands full, though one should never underestimate the importance of power when we’re not just talking a 1/4 mile run, but also half a mile.
Of course, putting all that power down properly is a whole different story, one that we’ve witnessed unfolding time and time again.
So what makes this particular race exciting? Well, to start off, the driver of the Chrysler barely avoids sliding into those ads in the middle of the road as his car struggles for grip during launch. Fun times.
