My drive in SLS GT3

Guys,
Been of the forum for sometime as work has been hell etc etc. Some of you know that I got a new ride awaiting me back in the US so have not been doing much to the C as of late. With new arrival I will be taking the C as a complete track car so will be active here once again. Looks like there is alot of catching up to do. In meantime, here is what I did this week. Mods, please move to SLS section after a little while as most of the people I know here are in the C63 section.

Great videos Dave! One can only dream of being in a SLS GT3.
Both SLS's in video 3 sound brutal.

You think they sound brutal from outside wait until you are inside. The GT3 whines and growls and you feel 100% of it. Come into the pits and hit the limiter to keep the car at 60 kmph and the noise is crazy. Best part is exiting the pits with limiter on...you push the throttle to the floor and the car just barks along at 60kmph until you push that little button on the steering wheel call "pit" and the limiter disengages! Holy sh-t! Talk about throw you and want an upshift in less than time than you can blink. This car is simply amazing.

WOW nice video!! I bet GT3 car is just amazing!! I bet you had a lot of fun.

Making C as complete track will be fun!! Lets put on GT-Wing and you can buy racing parts from one of team with Superstar series. They do have some nice header, etc.

The car is on a whole new level and a must drive. I am 6ft and it can be a challenge to get in and out but once you work the right technic out, it is not so bad. I know a guy who is 6"6 who can get in but it is tight fit.

Here is vid of taxi ride as Germans call it...pro GT3 driver takes you out for some...weather was crap so he couldn't let it hang out. I had a ride with Bernd Schneider who co-developed the car as drive in France last month and it just flew.

Typical German weather ..... I was born there and lived for many years in Germany, but prefer the California climate

Thank you again for the vid. It was so damn slick he couldn't get the power down and had to brake quite early to make the turns. The SLS GT3 is a great car and I'm sure in dry conditions it is very fast.
