Benz Sl 500

On the highway coming from work doin about 75, when i come upon a late
90's or early 2000 benz sl500, as im passing him he starts to speed up, so i was like, sweet, its go time! i had hope for a little while, but i knew what i was messin with, and i was actually impressed that i stayed with him for a little while. from 80-115 we were side by side, but after that, that beast of a car started pullin pretty good and i knew i was all done. little car-big power. it was right there and then i was wishin for a 100 shot of spray, then it wouldve been a different story. i wasnt too upset, i knew i didnt have anything for that kind of car, oh well.:lol:

nice run. those things dont mess around either lol aerodynamics sucks

Nice david. at least you stayed up with him thats more then some of us can say

LOL, he was toying with you.

The 86-89 560SL runs a 15 flat stock in US trim, the '90-92 cars with the CIS EFI ran even better as they went to a 32V heads and gained about 80hp to 322.

No telling the year you ran, but it was probably a '94+ with SEFI as you said SL500 not 500SL. Those got progressively quicker into the upper 5 sec/real low 6 sec, 0-60mph range.

You would get obliterated from 0 to its 155mph limiter by that car with a driver actually going at it.

Yeah, turned out to be a 97, it looked exactly like this car

Good run man! Yeah, after about 100-110 mph, the fact that we have a truck hurts us. Unless you have some kind of significant power adder, the aerodynamics kill us more than anything...

after a 100 your pushing alot of wind....trucks are bricks!aerodynamic as a barn door
