There is something wrong here. That Benz stock shouldn't be able to pull any better than mid 11's. If what all the mustang guys are saying is true that Cobra with those mods should be all over that Benz. Bad driving? Cobra not as bad *** as I have been lead to believe? I dunno.

Where's Unit? Let's see what he thinks of this.

I will say that Benz is thoroughly impressive. There is something to be said for the lysholm blowers that boost those cars.Also I think the traction control on those cars might be something fantastic. I have heard alot of good things about it.

Way to go on the videos you post up.They are definitely some of the better ones to be found on the internet.You can actually see what is happening and the camera is not shakey. I wouldn't mind less intro time but hey what your doin now is way better than most. Thanks for the video.

Jam The SL55 are the 120k ones. Either way, great engines but mercedes can still make one hell of a hideous car. If they fired their whole design team and said the hell with styling heritage I'd be happy. But who am I.

Hear about the possibility of a BMW M6 V-10? Sounds badass.

I did some checking on this thing and the consensus seems to be it runs mid 12's stock.Motorweek claims 12.7@114 .

13.1 p.s.i / lysholm blower w/ A:W intercooler
Weight: 3,800-3,900 lbs
Beats a C5 for aerodynamics with a .27cd
469bhp/516lb-ft
265/35/18 rears
Base price $77,000

slower than a stock Z06 (MW 12.5@118)
faster than a modified Cobra? (MW stock 13.4@108)

I'm thinking the driver of the Cobra lacks skill.

Actually, the average times are 12.3-12.4 with a monkey behind the wheel
