I think it all comes down to the driver, now there's an original thought

Dyno's don't win races but 452rwhp (actual? SAE? STD?) sounds about right for his mods. I agree with the others that the driver probably had a lot to do with the two races in this case though. I'm sure given enough distance, the Cobra may have overtaken the lead on the top end or even from a roll. Regardless, the E55 in its supercharged version is a car to be reckoned with. Imagine the capability of the turbocharged version with its rated 496hp/590tq

Mercedes almost takes the driver out of the equation, it's technology . . .

The Cobra Driver is like John Henry in this case

The Merc is supercharged too guys, Kevin Marsh was taking money at WFC6 with his, after hours of course. They are sweet, the real deal, and Damned fast! By the way guys, it makes 493@6100 here's the Benz website stats:http://www.mbusa.com/brand/container...pec=0&menu=3_1

My bad, sorry! Marsh's was a CLK though, with temp plates to boot, and he was bustin' people.

Yes, the E55 was bone stock for the first video shoot and yes, the Cobra should have won with the amount of mods it has...
