I know you guys are sandbagging in the C8, because the C8 runs a quicker quarter mile than the SL63 in every magazine test. The C8 outlaunched the SL63 and then it was like the C8 hit the brakes to let the SL catch up. As someone who does a lot of drag racing, the power difference would have to be very great for the AMG to catch up that quickly. I'm not buying it. You can't trust a Mercedes channel to be unbiased. And also, the Escalade V shouldn't have beat the C7. You should probably find someone who can launch and shift quickly to drive a car like that. It's not a car for amateurs.
Exactly! I have a 2023 C8 z51 and I could have done much better. The driver wasn't even using the launch control on the C8. We don't even know if he had it in sport or track mode. The Mercedes was 800 lbs heavier, that's a huge weight difference. There is no way the C8 loses, at least not by that much.
We invite other dealers with their vehicles to our channel to challenge our product. No one is going to make their product lose as it would only help us and hurt themselves. We also do not want to deliver false facts or manufacturered results. Here are a few factors to consider that you may not be aware of. The elevation of the runway location is 3,390 feet above sea level. This creates challenges for naturally aspirated vehicles like the V8 in the C8 Corvette. The AMG SL63 is twin turbocharged, hence why it gained so much more acceleration once both vehicles were on their way. Additionally, the C8 makes a peak torque of 470lb-ft at 5150rpm. Turbocharged motors are not very affected by high altitude. Altitude affects a naturally aspirated motor by 3% per 1000 feet. This means that the C8 might have only been making as little as 420lb-ft of torque and less than 445hp. The AMG SL63 delivers a flat torque of 590lb-ft from 2500 to 5000rpm. We want viewers to know that we do not have any bias in our reviews. We invite anyone to challenge the results in our productions by bringing their own vehicles to challenge the same cars on our runway.
1:49 😅Although Mercedes had the number of horsepower, it is the most predictable race. American cars are the worst in terms of aerodynamics and the square shape. They lie about the method of calculating the number of horsepower.
MORE BIG BEAST RACES PLEASE!!! That was hilarious! I don't think I've ever seen SUV's racing, let alone relay races with Sports Cars & Sport SUV's. LOVED IT! Did either of the guys split their pants on their "Dukes of Hazard" moves? :)
I'm surprised the SL63 out pulled the C8 buy that much... that being said I bought a brand new 2018 SL63 back in November 2017... once I got it to the track in the summer, running 5 practice 1/4's my best time was 11.47 at 126 mph... so yeah they are an absolute rocket especially on the open Highway.... the new SL63 is heavier and has a slower trap speed but has been clocked at 0 to 60 in 3 seconds flat.
Yes, the previous SL63s torque levels and lower weight make it a rocket at the top end once it stops fighting for traction! It was for sale at Kulu Motorcar!
This was a great video! Perhaps you could have swapped trailers and made tha caddy haul sl63 and amg the corvette. probably would have been another good hauling race lol
Worst race ever !! Why don't you do normal race between the cars ? We never saw the race between the SL and the corvette. Sorry but the video was not well organized
Thank you for the feedback. Can you let us know what your idea of a "normal" race is? Did you watch the entire video including the part where the AMG SL63 races the C8 Corvette?

😂😂😂😂 y al final más todavía ese Mercedes de 12 segundos en 1/4 de milla ganarle al C8 cuando en salida le saca diferencia de 6s . Me disculpan pero eso se lo cree quien no sepa de coches y no soy de esos
They are not Launching the Escalade properly. If you don't hold the break and put the gas to the floor and wait for the "burble", you are not in the "launch mode". That makes a HUGE difference!
Neither of you all can’t drive, just wasted 15 minutes of my life. All uneven comparisons.. 😒 Someone was suppose to be out there dropping the hands at the starting line..
The C8 Corvette has excellent launch capabilities. In other independent tests, you will see that it's slightly quicker than the AMG SL63 to 100kmh but slower in the quarter mile. We noticed the same thing when we tested it against the lighter Jaguar F-Type 575. Once the AMG SL63 gets into second gear, it rockets away.
We did not have access to a Z06 at the time of filming but, there is a rematch involving the Z06 in the works! Turn on notifications and subscribe to know when it happens!
The Escalade-V in this comparison was an SWB and not an ESV. We will have a Z06 on our channel that will challenge an AMG SL63 or AMG GT63 Coupe, stay tuned!
The GLS63 does not have race start. The AMG SL63 did, but the C8 gets the power through 2 wheels slightly quicker than the AMG SL63 did to 4. The midengine layout of the C8 is a great advantage when launching.
@@MercedesBenzDowntownCalgary OF course. that is due to demand. Did you take economics 101 in high school. Do you understand the first rule of supply and Demand ?
Global sales of the GLS are more than twice that of the Escalade. In North America, the Escalade out sells the GLS by nearly 30%. As a domestic vehicle, the Cadillac will have more fleet demand in North America however, the GLS is in much higher demand globally.
C8 just sucks,, if Chevy had to tear down Ferrari 488 to copy and paste for their vers of Kia theme. Of course a 2,000 pound car is going to be faster than a 5,000 pound car,,
Quite the contrary. It shows how far the Cadillac and Corvette brands have come. The Escalade-V base MSRP is nearly $20,000 more than the AMG GLS63! AMGs deliver amazing value in today's market. 😎
I agree with the channel on this one. GM still has a stigma for some people who remember their past, but their future is looking good. They have come a very long way in a short time. The Cadillacs and Corvettes are amazing vehicles. There's a reason the Escalade and Corvette dominate their segments when it comes to sales. The reviews on both are glowing as well. Both have average transaction prices over $100,000 and sell tens of thousands per year

Why do most Corvette owners keep comparing their car with SL63? Sl buyers are not cross shopping with Corvette especially C8.
German Quality.
German Precision.
Always Beyond Ahead.

Can my cls63 be raced on here
I'm a New subscriber!
I Like this video. Next please compare with 2025 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS600 4Matic And GLS AMG
Nice video love the idea of bringing other dealership cars vs your own and seeing who wins etc
No one can beat the German.
Love

This was a lot of fun! Thanks @Mercedes-Benz Downtown Calgary for letting us be apart of it :)
G wagon vs Escalade V next
The GLS was more comparable to the Escalade than the G wagon however, we do like your recommendation... stay tuned! 😁

Hell nah im pretty sure that yall just get the vehicle straight from the dealership without breaking the engine in
I loved it big time🎉🎉🎉 congrats guys, u just subscribed 😅
Hello I am from middle east Lebanon guys you are great doing this amazing video for us

Hello Sunshine ❤ You make me wanna book a flight to Lagos
Mercedes making a video about racing their own cars against gm cars much cheaper. Believable
The torque of the SL is more than the GLS , so as we go it will definitely come past , this situation is not about the weight difference
think this is disrespectful to AMG........ hows gm even in the same conversation😂😂
Es de verás una broma que el Escalade le gane al Z06. Tómese con seriedad las cosas. Ese Z06 le saca 3 coches al Escalade
mercedes pls like my comment cause yk yall cool fr and cause i love mercedes
They are not Launching the Escalade properly. If you don't hold the break and put the gas to the floor and wait for the "burble", you are not in the "launch mode". That makes a HUGE difference!
Launch mode was used on both the Escalade-V and Corvette C8 for every drag race. We confirmed this fact with Rob.
Neither of you all can’t drive, just wasted 15 minutes of my life. All uneven comparisons.. 😒 Someone was suppose to be out there dropping the hands at the starting line..
Both drivers were counted down by the same person over their in-vehicle walkie talkies.
I'm just not believing the SL 63 beat the vette😮????

Are you using launch control? The AMG's, with all wheel drive, were terrible off the line.
The GLS63 does not have race start. The AMG SL63 did, but the C8 gets the power through 2 wheels slightly quicker than the AMG SL63 did to 4. The midengine layout of the C8 is a great advantage when launching.
cady 2840 kg amg 2480 kg False channel and multiple for Germans
What AMG are you comparing? The Cadillac numbers you provided are correct, but the AMG GLS63 in kg is 2710.
Awesome ! 🎉
Thank you.
The Escalade still out sells the GLS
There are many more Escalades built than the GLS and many more sold to fleets in bulk.

How can you compare? German superior brand Mercedes Benz with Medium American brand Cadillac Escalade… Mercedes way up better in every aspects 😅❤
This is an awesome test/review. I’ve never seen anything like it
