Default Another 'how do I stack up' post.

Ok, long story short, i heard rumors about the president of our company's new car but hadn't seen it for myself yet until today, when of course I parked right beside it. I read a bunch of specs and was wondering how a 03 Z with only headers would stack up against, what looks like and '06/07, CL65 AMG. The Hp doesn't bother me, as the car weighs almost 5000lbs but the 740 ft-lb of torque have me a little worried.

Thoughts??

I have an o2 Z, and work for Mercedes. I drove a s65 the other day and I think the Z would have the hole shot but once the 65 hooks and the turbos spool bye bye Z.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. So basically from anything but a dead stop, i have no chance. Oh well, at least mine cost 1/6th the price.
