With a little help from Brabus, probably pretty good.

Well yeah it's gonna beat it at the drag strip. The R8 is a sports car though, doesn't have to be brutally fast in a straight line.

Getting beat by a wagon is still pretty bad.

DON'T EVER MAKE FUN OF MY WAGON. he he

or you'll be sorry. i got to test drive one of these things. OMFG. power.

i mean i though my CDI had torque, which it does, but this thing gave me whiplash. the power is something that suprises you in a wagon. im use to the E320 wagon so i wasn't expecting that at the metering light. i scared the WRX driver next to me with the tire smoke.

i have to say get yourself to a dealer and test it for youself. and youll wish you had the 200000 dollars.

This is a big surprise ? lol..
420 hp vs 507hp
4.2ltr torque vs 6.2ltr torque
7 speed auto vs 6 speed manual
An automatic will run off consistent drag times til the cows come home.

Don't get me wrong, I probably wouldn't want to own either one for more than a weekend lol. Remember, I worked for both companies.. I've given out the Roadside Assistance number for both soooo many times that I know them by heart and couldn't tell you the R/A number for the car I drive lol.....
