Ran a $150,000 SL 55 Mercedes
Hello Gan,
I'm a bit happy today. The videos will be posted soon. I ran against my friend's $150,000 SL 55 Mercedes that has 500 HP and 500 lbs of torque. Those things are fast off the line. We took off and he jumped about 1 1/2 cars in front, by the time a hit second gear, I started gaining on him. I passed him in third and had 2 cars on him and still gaining in 4th gear. Thats a $150,000 car on my list.
I'll post again as soon as I get the video.
Thanks
Jay

my dad has a S500 that thing is one awsome car, it suprises people with its power.It used to run pretty close with my 99 c5. he has been talking about trading for an E55 when they come out. I wonder if it comes in an automatic?
