Short clip of Steve up against Phatgixers SL65 AMG at Bruntingthorpe 2 weeks ago. Turn up the sound! http://www.pistonheads.tv/clip439
Steve had too much at breakfast to eat and had eaten all the pies at lunch - Slowed him down off the mark !!!!
The only thing the SL didnt spank on the day was the 0-100-0 world record holding Ultima. Its fully de limited and pushes out about 650 BHP. Its quite a surreal experience being in a car at over 180 watching the tv with the massaging seat on!
I heard that even with the roof down Gixxer managed 184! Then he put the roof up, turned the air-con off, the seat massager off, the telly off, emptied the jacuzzi and had a proper go 191 with a headwind, not bad I s'pose!
Never trust the Hun, always a devious bunch.... had a 2 second head start!! (mind you, those lumbering 12's do take a while to get going)...
saying that the 600sl that i drive can leave the 355 and 360 from a standing start So **** knows what the 650 can do.
No need to take it out on the poor old keyboard, hey I passengered with closeshave today in his GT2 and got 184mph
