Nice run! That's a fast Merc he has. I forgot all about it. I remember the name because of the Viper's.

Damn that was a close race. Nice camaro. Those Mercedes are fast. I thought you won at first, but I couldn't tell because the numbers were blurry at the end of the race. I got excited

Yeah, my friend has the jitters, when it comes to anything exciting and requiring concentration, it's over. I have to get those 60'fts down. The Merc. got a low 1.9 to my 2.0 and that's where the race was won.

That is stock the SL65 has 604hp and 700+tq from the factory

They taunted me at work by putting one on the rack in front of my window for it's 1000 mile check up (I work at a merc dealer)


Oh and Kliemann (sp?) has a pcm reprogram that boosts it to 700+hp and 900+tq

I need to get to get me some 15s and et streets, or those new MT drag radials and spray out of the hole. Run some deep 11s. I need a 27 inch tire, cuz i have the 4:10s and have to shift into 5th on spray. That's why my MPH is only 118-119 and NA it's 113-114. I just have to set it up right and will see what she does. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I'm lurking about The S600 remains in stable; the SL65 is a nice complement to it.

Next weekend, weather permitting, I'll be back at Sacto in the SL with its new BFG 275/35-18 drag radials.
