I have rolled with a SL65 600+hp/700+tq from 70 to 100 on the freeway the little Benz pulled me by 2 cars.... Many a Bmw,Porche 911,MB,Corvette.. many have been shocked by my mild Cummins turbo intercooled truck..
I'm talking about a real world pull on a nice open road. I'd never back off at 100 unless I am running out of room fast.

There is no way an SL65 would lose to a Ram in the 100-170 range. Mercedes are not 1/4 mile cars, its amazing they can post those times since thats the last thing they are built for.

Notice the 600 doesn't let up as the speed increases.

Whats top speed for a Ram with a Cummins anyway? Low rpm of the Cummins with short gears, 110 maybe?
