Default Starting at 50mph, I'd bet 5 car lengths before 100mph in favor of the Stage III...

...my dad's got a CLK55 AMG and while we've never done a comparison, there's really no point because my Stage III is just *that* much faster.

Assuming the Stage 3 car has pretty good tuning, you'll lose.

Assuming his isn't blown, it runs ~13.5 second 1/4 mile. That's definitely not going to pound stage2

Default You have great cars that I admire. I just don't think a stage III will beat me as bad

as advertised. I think by 100mph the stage III might be a car length to maybe 2 at most not five.
