You are comparing a standard AMG with a modded Cossie. The car below is a AMG with 700bhp/700ft-lb it would simply have disappeared like a rat up a drain. Cars appear fast when they have the beating of the other guy.
The picture was taken at a UK Topspeed event that Merc came 6th a very fast car.
If you look carefully a White Saff Cosworth rear end can be seen in the crowd of cars .

To be honest I think they use their other ones more often, I've only seen your old one on road once and it happened to be a sunny day to.

Pretty rapid!! How much does it cost to buy and tune one of theose mercs though, I'd say the cos if a fair bit cheaper, and you end up with a blue collar supercar, surely why most cossie owners actually own theirs?

i bet if you put 10k into the merc you'll be pulling away from most higher powered cars, can't say 10k in a cossie would get you there on new parts, but the price tag on the merc would be higher none the less.
