1700 HP Battle: 850 HP E63 AMG Vs. 850 HP C6 ZR1
All hail the ultimate daily driver.

It should be a no brainer: take a built-to-purpose sports car like the C6 Corvette ZR1, tune it to produce 850 horsepower, and pit it against a heavy four-door luxury sedan in a Russian drag race. Who is going to come out ahead? Well, if that luxury sedan happens to be a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, equipped with 4Matic all-wheel drive, a fast-shifting transmission and tuned to an equal 850 hp – we may have a pretty interesting race on our hands. Watch these two tuned monsters battle it out in Russia.

The drag race we are interested in begins at the 1:30 mark, in case you're in a rush.
