C55 test drive in Sydney !

I had the opportunity to take a test drive in a C55 with a professional driver around the streets of Sydney. I was mega impressed with the acceleration. Seems to have a bit of lag compared to the SL55 sitting next to it, so he said. I was so deep in the seat they needed a trim wedge to pop me out.

I can see where the extra cost is ...... the whole thing is a tight package and probably will go even harder when the engine gets a few k's on it.

Make sure you dont take no for an answer. Almost every dealer has one somewhere in stock away from public eyes.
