The Benz is FAST car, but it big and heavy.... And probably does not transfer power through the chassi as well as a vet will. I Would think with 405 on the reat wheel you should have him with no probs.

I have seen some modded AMG 55's..they can be over 600 RWHP...
I ran at the Track with a guy in a E 55...Thats a 4 door sedan....it ws brand new, and bone stock...he ran 12.4's..not too shabby for a big heavy car.

A buddy of mine with 400rwhp FRC beat a E55 on a freeway run. He has a six speed. We definitely have a weight advantage over this tuna boat, but they are very fast. If the guy is stock, I would say you have a good chance of taking him. Good luck!

To me the small SL55 looks way smaller and sportier than the other 55 series MB's. I would think that the SL55 V8 Kompressor AMG would be faster than the other, heavier versions?

The only stock M-B that could have its way with a well driven 400 RWHP 'Vette is the 600SL V12. That thing has around 600 HP at the flywheel, twin turbos, and a very sophisticated traction control system. I know because I ran one and I have 528 RWHP. After a lot of wheelspin and wasted motion, I passed him at around 80, but it wasn't looking good for the home team up to that point.
