2007 SLK 55 vs 2012 Z4 sDrive35is

[TogekiAs]

Hi everyone real quick, tomorrow night there will be a drag race (drag strip) between a friends Z4 against an SLK AMG. I tried to do research and as far as I got are

55 AMG - 0-60 4.3 @ 12.8 1/4
Z4 35is - 0-60 4.3 @ 12.9 1/4

I got these from a 0-60 website but upon researching both cars apparently many results are different. I just want to know who will most likely win? I'm betting 100$ on the Z4 but the AMG guy is stating he will win

Come on y'all please don't make me lose 100 bucks

If both are stock, and the Z4 is pre-LCI (such as in your case), I'd definitely switch my bet (particularly if the Z4 is manual and the AMG is DCT (or whatever the Merc's equivalent is.)

Pre LCI is what I'm assuming 2012 and bellow year models correct? What's the difference performance wise I don't understand? The AMG is just a regular 7 speed automatic and the 35is is the DCT one

Looks like it is going to come down to reaction time with 2 cars having similar performance capabilities. Do both cars have similar mileage?

If the z4 has the runflats, I'd bet against it...

The driver will be the deciding factor.

So who won?

From the ensuing silence, I can only surmise that he lost the bet
