On the bottom eng cobra should have jumped the benz. Pretty impressive for a luxo car though.

i think the owner posted that he is sending the car to a MB tuner for some extra work.

EDIT: After watching the vid again, I see they both have slicks, I still think the AMG had the turbo ??

Thx for sharing...

03 cobras are stock supercharged as well as the E55. They are both bada$$ IMO. love the muscle car feel of the cobras, and the luxo feel of the benz. just wish it was a souped up GS in there.

They're actually both supercharged. I wouldn't mind having either one of them, but if I was being realistic, I'd take the Cobra and with the money I saved, I'd buy a GS400

Wow that is one sick MB. I can't believe the pull it has off the line that thing is a weapon. Boy does it sound nice with the supercharger.

I thought the pavement under the Benze buckled...as seen in the Road Runner Coyote cartoons.

The first pass by the Benz sounded like a frikkin F-14 tomcat buzzing a landing strip....

Those AMGs are incredible. Friend of mine took me for a ride in his 2000, it was a rocket without a blower, I can't imagine them now. My only gripe is why the hell did whoever made that video put it to music? 16 boosted cylinders would have made a much better soundtrack. Amazing how the thing just took off, that cobra needed to borrow some traction. Still, I have a hard time taking it too seriously with an automatic in there...

unfricking believable...that E is off the rockers fast!

I love how it just dug down and shredded the asphalt like nobody was there!

Very nice......

good runs though.

I want more!
