Default Sl65

So me and my cruising friends are going down the freeway tonight, when this black blur blows us off the raod, we were going like 80, and this thing was here and then gone, so we catch up and its an Sl 65 amd, the monster V-12 Bi-turbo one, so my mach 1 friend gets up next to him and runs hiim, and 4th gear roll, the mach front end jumps up like two inches maybe, hes got 4.10s so is pretty mean from a roll in his powerband, and then the benz hits it, and it squated so hard when its boost hit it flexed all the way so you could see springs, and just took off.

so after everything is said and done, the benz puts about a bus length on him from 80-140ish, all with the top down, wrapped in preimium leather probably with the seats heated while we have our a/c off and everything possible to get that .2 more horse, and he still get out doors blown off


shows what $180,000 will get you

A guy I work with has one of those. I will have to put the hurting on him at some point with one of my rides, but they are incredible cars, especially being that quick while being able to haul people around like that!

TREYNOR has one, he might be close to 10's as i know he upgraded the car as soon as he got it. Believe he got the ECU retuned to push more boost. Might have even gone bigger turbos.

I remember the post he made just after he got his car tuned at Renntech, he ran a low 11.

Yea i think he might even have videos on his website, at least i know he used to post them there, but yea his SL65 is rediculous. Im sure he can hit 10's too with some better traction although i can only imagine trying to hook with almost 1000rwtq!

Just make sure you only race him to like 150 or so because after that your pressure will be way down and he'll pull like a raped ape past 200mph, on the topend the Benz is ment to fly i got dads old E320 to about 160 thats with a crappy 3.2L

It's never a bad thing to lose to a 180k super car specially when it has 700+ tq stock.

The torque of those BENZES is incredible, over 700 foot pounds of torque stock.
