RE: SL 65 AMG kill
At this point I think it will be a Vette of some kind, ideally a Z06. The next big project is going to be getting my new house paid for and pimped out though

More euro luxury for lunch..
I was running some errands and what not when I see a sleek looking Benz flying in the lane next to me. The guy was older but he sure was driving that thing hard. I casualty catch up with him hoping he'd bite, and he did. We were at a 75mph roll and he nailed it before I did..those cars pull like crazy, I mean this was one of the races I was expecting to lose. Those cars have 730+t lbs of torque or something...He instantly made me play catch up..but I was able to catch up pretty fast lol. I walked him at about 100mph and it got a bit ugly after that. So I slowed down he comes up and rolls his window down..and yelled out "thanks, I have one of those (Z06) at home, I knew it was faster but I just didn't know how much" He gave me thumbs up and I returned it and we both went on our ways..
Side note: I was expecting more out of a Twin Turbo V12 with 6**hp and 7**ft lbs of torque..are those things that heavy or is the gearing?

They're insanely heavy, but that 738 (I think, without looking it up) will really make it move, but not enough to keep up w/ you. Like it was said above, go looking for an SLR and make a vid, I'd like to see that one.

Nice story.
I'd like to see you run a Benz from Brabus. The Brabus version of the SL65 has 730hp and 974lbft of torque.

I'm sure a Brabus SL65 would be fun an all, but I could live with driving a C6 Z06 everyday. Not to mention that for the price of the Brabus, I'm sure you could do alot to a Z06.

i still think it would be a good race, you cant get a view point from that video. nonetheless a good kill on the SL65.
rogers...you need to set a vid cam with a cruisecam mount or something so we can enjoy these moments with you
