This Kill Story was originally posted to the forum in a thread by “Nick H” and it features a Chevy SS taking on a Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 and a newer Ford Mustang GT. All three cars are modified and the Ford is the most heavily built, but, unsurprisingly, it has the worst showing of the three cars in the footage. The real fight here is between the C63 AMG and the Chevy SS.The CompetitorsThere are three cars shown racing in this video a Chevy SS, a Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 and a S550 Ford Mustang GT.The SS has an upgraded exhaust system, an aftermarket camshaft, a higher-than-stock stall convertor and a tune. The Mercedes has headers, an x-pipe and a tune and the Mustang has a cold air intake, a Shelby GT350 intake manifold, an x-pipe, gutted catalytic convertors and a tune.We don"t have modified power numbers, but we know that in stock form, the Benz was the most powerful of the three with 469 horsepower, followed by the Mustang with 435 horsepower and the SS with 415 horsepower. Considering that the Mustang has the longest mod list and is smaller than the other two, you might think that it would offer the best performance, but you would be wrong.The Racing ActionIn the video above, the Chevy SS begins by taking on the C63 in a dig race. The two launch and the SS gets out to an early lead, putting the Benz at the back bumper. That is where the race would finish, as even though the AMG appeared to be mounting a comeback at the end of the race, it never gets around the big Chevrolet sedan.Those same two cars go from a 40 mile-per-hour roll next and in that race, the Mercedes gets out to an early lead and manages to hold off the Chevy through the end of the race.Finally, the Mustang and Chevy SS race from a dig and after pretty soft starts by both cars, the big sedan absolutely destroys the pony car.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!Join the LS1tech forums today!Tags: Chevy SS, Drag Race, Kill Stories, LS3, Video
