Video: Second race BMW M6 vs the Kleeman E55 AMG K4 (Mercedes) with 640 HP

Youtube video here.

Streetfire video here.

Dailymedia video here.

The Kleeeman E55 AMG K4 does slow in or lag somewhat as we approached the oones, so the BMW M6 slowed down and then floored it after we saw the Kleeman floor it. You'll see it on the video. This BMW M6 was another M6 than the first Kleeman race. Also I beleive this time the M6 started on 1st gear instead of 2nd gear as the first Kleeman race.

Streetfire link is corrupt

Edit: Just watched it. I believe Kleemann are overestimating their power gains enourmesly... 640 hp can't go down like that. Mmm-power!

Props to the M6!! Damn, that thing pulls hard.

Okay, this is what I do not understand. I have a K3 E55 and I trap at 124-125mph and continue to pull like a freight train after 130mph. Was this match an anomaly, SC heat sink?

My bet is that a healthy K2-K4 E55 will go faster 0-150 than a stock M6 based on 1/4 mile and trap speed times (I see M6 trap speeds of 114mph on dragtimes but even if they can trap at 118mph they still have some ground to make up).

Not sure what I just saw on that video. I'm sure the M6 shine from 60-150mph but even then, I'm having a hard time understanding how that E55 just disappeared.

Haters need not reply!

i'm not trying to take ANYTHING away from the m6 but i have to agree with you having run our own e55 k2 vs. stock e60 m5 tests. kleemann's car must have been performing well below claims because there is no way a properly running k4 would get walked like that from a dig or a roll.

^ I'd have to agree with you on that. I am not saying this video is BS or anything but when something with 640hp loses that easy to a 500hp car... with around a 1000lb difference... kinda sketch.

I think the guy's only Kleeman parts are the stickers.

Stickers, the best performance upgrade!

Where do you get a 1,000lbs difference? The E55 weighs almost identical to the M5 and the M5 is not 1,000 lbs heavier.

+1 the difference is like 2 or 300 pounds maximum.
