I have seen some ML63s down here, 6.2 l, 503 hp, but still at a little over 5000 pounds, not going to do it. Furthermore, the driver of the ML has terrible reaction times...and he has AWD so spinning cannot be the cause here. This race would have been better to see on a real track.

Amazing.. I agree a track would be a better setting.. The 0-60 on the ML63 is a hair under 5 seconds and it is quite a handler..

I was expecting a closer race, but I guess the porsche's quicker jump ended the race

Strap me in the seat of that ML on real 1/4 mile strip with staging lights and I'll make it a closer race.

I mean it cant get much closer than that. the prosche goes to 60 like 3.4-3.7 depending on the tester, and liek someone posted the ml63 is just under 5 so it looked like about a second apart to me...the ML63 is a beast!!!

The driver of the ML is the problem...better launching and he could make it closer, though I think that Porsche probably would have red lighted on a real dragstrip.
