Danny,I think you'll find that your Cerb *may* be a little down on power. At Fighting Torque your were almost 2.5 seconds behind the quickest Cerb (albeit a proven 440bhp) and a good 1-1.5 seconds behind most of the other Cerbs.........a second must be a good 10-12 car lengths. My diesel BMW was quicker than your Cerb as were the BMW M3 CSL and Z3MCoupe, so it's no suprise that this Merc spanked you. Most Cerbs would show all of the cars mentioned above a clean pair of heels. I reckon you'll find that if you put you Cerb on a rolling road that it will down on power 300bhp or less. Might be worth getting it checked out and hopefully you'll find your lost horses.........

although i do feel there is more to be had from it.
the z3m i raced at fighting torque i later found out wasn't standard
and the ferrari at lunch time today couldn't seem to get past me either although again i wasn't exactly pulling away from it

ahem!t in a cerb!Was it the old or new shape CLK? How many exhausts? If it was 2 on either side, then that'd have been a CLK 63 AMG. 480bhp, ~500lb/ft torque.

In our competition experience, over a 1/4mile a 63AMG (CLS granted) isnt a match, certainly not quicker) - a 65AMG however is quicker, by a few tenths/ im guessing at a car length?! (CL and SL's have compete in this spec, the CL was strangely faster??) The aformentioned CL65AMG was so impressively quick that the same guy took an SLR to the speed trials a year later and could only match its time, not beat it!?! Was it the old or new shape CLK? How many exhausts? If it was 2 on either side, then that'd have been a CLK 63 AMG. 480bhp, ~500lb/ft torque.

Having driven both the Cerb and the 65 AMG,i can safely say that the 65 would obliterate a Cerb.I think we need to realise.And FT proved this to a point,that cars have moved on a bit since the introduction of the Cerb
True....although depends on state of tune of the CerbBut Warpigs car is still down on power in my opinion

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I'm not harping on again about s6 cerbs, it's been done to a death.
What we realy need is to put this into a true perspective. The S6 is no match for an AJP8 in 'full grunt mode'...end of.
has a standard ajpV8 ever run side by side with a s6 cerb...fighting torque?
we are talking men against boys, not sure if the difference is enough to 'spank' the merc, but i'm certain any well set up ajp8 would run it close in the drivability stakes.
So the bottom line is you had yer arse handed to you...live with it.
