Hi there. No disrespect, but unless your car is heavily modified, I don't think the guy was trying. I've ridden in an SL55 AMG (about same power as 600 I think) and that was mentally fast. Way more speed than a Ferrari 355 that I've sampled. Also I played with an RS6 recently (I was in my standard MY03 WRX) and he just pulled away like a beast! RS6 is prob about same as SL600

Banny - you're referring to the old RS4. Latest one is hailed as an M3 beater!

I reckon if my car had a TD05 20g and a 2.5 bottom end, then I would say i'd at least keep up with to 130 instead of it driving past me.

The SL600 has much more torque than the SL55 (& Merc had to dial it back as the autobox cannot take it), so in a straight line, the SL600 would probably be quicker. I think a S600 (even heavier than SL600) got a 0-60 time of 4.6s, & that's with an auto & all the toys.

It's 420bhp and 430NM (not sure what that is in ft/lbs) in standard form, according to NZ Autocar

a few months back I had a toy with a Brabus SL55 at bruntinthorpe

it was feckin' embarrasing how he pulled away from me at 140 - he wasn't even trying, he just took the p***

i thought my pride was just hurt - well i was wrong, 20 minutes later my engine let go 'big time' that will teach me.

The RS6 is legendary! Shortly after the second revision first came out a mate of mine had bought a brand new M3 SMG which was no slouch.. He saw "some estate car" try it on.. Lets just say it made him look f*cking stupid.

Also pissed on the LC is various areas

Its on my list
