if hes buddy puts the tranny in manual mode and hits the paddle shifters i find it hard to believe. from the boosted S2Ks i have driven have all seem to still have nothing on the bottom end.
Let's see,

CLS 63= 507hp/456trq@4200lbs.
So that's roughly 430rwhp/387rwtq using 15% drivetrain loss.

His S2K = 451rwhp/316rwtq@2800lbs.

You really think this S would have problems spanking the CLS 63? Especially from a roll??

He just picked up a new CLS and didn't bother with any break-in period? Poor Benz. I'm assuming it's not a keeper. Poor next owner.

I have a customer with a CLS 63, he smokes his buddies 06 Gallardo which is actually surprisingly slow. He also smokes another customer's M6 which is faster then the lambo and pretty much everything else short of the CLS 63, and an X50 porsche turbo. The M6 does pull EVERYTHING over 110-120mph however, including the CLS. But for some reason from a dig that CLS is a beast up till about there. I would say that S2000 is in some pretty damn fast company.

I can only confirm cars he has raced, and everything he has ran he has beaten. Obviously I didn't mean that its faster then absolutely every 4 wheeled vehicle on Earth. I was implying that while the CLS63 is faster then many "supercars" it aparently can't hang with some well modified S2000s. Thanks for the trollin.

one key concept here that hasn't been address: weight!

And the s2000 has been tuned while the cls63 is stock.

Nope a CLS63 doesn't put those numbers down! The drivetrain lost is much more due to their torque converter design, I assuming. Go on youtube and you can see that the 63 AMG and M5 are putting down roughly 404-410rwhp.

Automatic = POS and robbed alot of power.

Second a turbo s2k will spank the living shit out all AMG unless its a SL65 chipped. German vehicle are heavy ass pigs. Remember folks WEIGHT IS YOUR ENEMY WHEN GOING FAST!

Yup, I was being conservative with the numbers.
