Default First Encounter with an SL55 AMG and this was the result...

...this is all I saw from 60 to ~120mph. I got the jump too. She just kept pulling away, progressively faster. Race fuel and DPs would have made it a bit more interesting but I'm sure She still would have walked me. I had fun geting oWNED. :-P

I'd like to see an SL55 AMG run a 911TT on the freeway, I think it would be an interesting race.

Please note, the picture is just a example of what I saw. I did not take the picture.

Default Race fuel and DPs would have made little difference.
208mph on street tires.

I was just behind one and I easily pulled away ... It was parked though.

Default I was thinking, maybe you leaned out the door at 100 mph and dragged the camera 3" off the ground...
It woulda been a good story.
