Notice how the Supra warmed his tires up so he would get more traction. I think that's where the MB lost it even though it was ahead, initially.

The S did as well, just not as long. The S would make a great sleeper if you put the right (engine) mods in.

and who knows what turbo that supra was running. they said it was a single, so im sure on boost it was 600+ wheel hp. Hp does not get moving though... that was the benz killed it out of the hole.
Dont get me wrong im not taking up for either car. both are amazing vehicles and if i could sale my built supra id have SL65

Cool
The benz must have been crankin' out some serious hp itself being a Renntech
The first run looked as though the Supra fumbled a shift but turbo-lag must have played it's part |

S63 seems like it might be more nimbler, not faster. It's the same case with the E63 and E55. E55 has tons of brute force and slams you to the seat when you accelerate, and the power just keeps coming at you. The E63's power seems more linear, more smooth delivery, and it seems like it's been tuned (suspension) to compete with the M5 around the twisties. So I'm assuming the same thing with the S63 (W221) vs. S65 (both W220 and W221). The S63 motor just lacks the torque to get it moving as much/fast.

The times might be almost the same, but just the feeling and the power delivery is totally different between the two engines. |
