I was so suprised when i saw this. This shows again low CW and much low rev torque wins in acceleration. Another great car from Mercedes.
Jep, great car, the Mercedes-Benz! I also read the article and I think that I´ll buy one next year, when I buy a NEW car... Or the new Alpina B12, but I´ll waite till february when the Maranello Evolutione is in production *hehe*...let´s wait and see!
Now the time has come......tomorrow I´ll order my SL 55 AMG ! ! ! :grin: :grin: :grin: When that car is delivered in 2003, I´ll post some pics and sound-files here. I hope it´s in the 1st quarter of 2003.
Nice choice. Cant belive its time allready for a AMG seen like 2-3 SL500 R230 on the street.
BTW. I heard that you can order the car without speedlimiter but it will still have one around 300km/h. So you have to go to a aftermarket tuner to get rid of that.

Well, in March you can get the SL 55 AMG without ANY speedlimiter - then they have better tyres :grin: My SL has no limiter then... ca. 325km/h the car will run :cool: COOL.....

I can't see SL55 outrunning the lamborghini to 300kms. it seem weird?
Well, the Lambo has less torque than and the air drag is also not as good as the SL´s one (Lamborghini: cw 0,33
Mercedes: cw 0,29). And don´t forget that this is VERY important from 200-300 kph... :cool:
Like i wrote the SL55 uses a supercharger wich gives better torque on low rpm it also has automatic transmission and low CW. It has very a good front area. I also think the Lambo uses 330 tires back dont know what the SL use but its smaller.
