Well if it is the "regular" SLS AMG GT with 583hp, it will be a close race with a slight edge to the SLS with its lighter weight. In the Motor Trend test it trapped 124.5mph. I would think that since the non-CP M6 trapped 123.1mph...the M6 CP would give it a run for its money at any speed. Ultimately a race like this would come down to the driver in the real world...but the M6 CP would have less margin for error.

How can say "Easily" when the parameters of the race were never defined (roll-race, 1/4m..etc.)? Let's use the recent Motor Trend tests of the SLS GT and M6 (non-CP) as a comparison:
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...pe_first_test/ http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...gt_first_test/ The non-CP M6: 0-60: 4.0s and 1/4m: 12.1 @ 123.1mph SLS GT: 0-60: 3.7s and 1/4m: 11.7 124.5mph So it took the M6 8.1s to go from 60mph to 123.1mph. The SLS GT took 8.0s to go from 60-124.5 mph. Yes the SLS GT is faster but the rolling performance is alot closer than many would expect. If the competition package adds some top end power (as advertised) it would definitely close the gap a little bit. Plus if the weather is cool out... the turbo car is going to benefit much more than the N/A V8. So I can see the M6 CP being VERY competitive with the SLS GT and even beating it in certain favorable conditions. |

Btw in 900' DA an older SLS (563hp) ran 12.049 @ 121.6mph... not exactly an invincible time. http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Timeslip-23889.html |

Straight line is NOT racing
Sorry folks. Especially if its a launch control dct shift on its own just hold the steering wheel straight and put your foot on the throttle. |

from my own experience during the day i had the m6 and m6 competiton for test drive i had a chance to race against an sls on the german Highways from 150kmh to 280kmh in the m6 (not competiton)
it was dead even. But this was an standard sls and not the sls gt the Video below shows aswell an sls from 0-300 in about 35 secs.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2aI7KvS4pk wonder if others had some real life experience with other outcomes, or about the same as i had |

My biz partner has an SLS, crazy crazy fast. I can stay pace and barely edge with my R8GT but no way with the M5 - probably more because of the transmission but the SLS is incredibly fast once it gets traction.
