i tried to quote the video and the "bone stock" comment, but alas, not enough posts to post a URL, so i'm referring to the video up a few posts and the bone stock comment below it.
I'm no expert on the power-to-weight thing, but i HIGHLY doubt that 469 hp and 516 tq is going to make a 4000lb sled run an 11.3. stock they're supposed to be good for mid 12s and that i'd believe, but that kind of power will put your f-body at mid-high 11's, but we tip the scales at about 500-600 lbs less. i just think that video, while extremely impressive, is a farce. no freakin way that thing is bone stock on street tires. i don't know your mods, but i'd say if he's stock, and you can put down a solid mid 12 pass, you'll be ok. just my .02Last edited by BLWN 231; 11-07-2006 at 06:55 PM.

I've seen videos changed as well. Mid 12s, some low. With DRs and a pulley swap, hello 11s!!

Obviously the moron that posted the video does not know what he is talking about when it comes to supercharged Benz's. Here are some others so you can all get it through your head that this car turns mid to low 12's right off the showroom floor.
E55 with drag radials against modded Cobra

Stock running 12.07

I'm not dissing the F-body. The Benz is a $90K car that gets the job done. It has the most sophisticated traction control on the planet that allows a perfect launch every single time. the new cars have a 7 speed auto that shifts so fast you can't even notice the shift.

Here's one that might make you feel a little better. It's me against a black E55. She only ran a 12.7@109MPH:

The Cobra is said to have a 2.93 pulley? If so he's using the stock cover and no idler pulley so belt slip would be god awful. I think it's a stock pulley cobra in which case explain why he got handed. Taking nothing away from the impressive E55 which cost 3 times as much.
nice vid
