When you set out to race other people in straight line way past the 1/4 mile marker, you’ve probably got a few aces up your sleeves.
Speaking of aces, remember that 700 HP Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe that recently beat a 550 HP BMW M4? The same M4 that had managed to topple a 700 HP Audi RS7 mind you!
If you think you’d need a lot more firepower in order to beat that Mercedes, you’d probably be right, since in this video you’ll see it take on not just an 800 HP BMW M6 but also a 900 HP IPS Motorsport C6 Corvette ZR1.
Against the Bimmer, the C63 won pretty convincingly, even though the margin wasn’t huge. At the 1/4 mile mark, the M6 was going a little big faster, though that didn’t make a difference by the time they did the whole kilometer.
The race against the really powerful Corvette was a bit more fascinating. The Merc got off the line better and won the 1/4 mile battle (11.95 sec vs 12.08 sec), but ended up losing the 1,000 meter dash.
We really have to give it up to the C63 for putting up such a fight against more powerful opponents and generally coming out on top.
However, had the Corvette not danced around so much while accelerating, it might have won more…”hands down”.
