Jim's SLS BS for sale
Sad to see it go but the next owner will be a lucky one. That car is amazing!
Do you have the GT-S coming soon JR ?

CarHopper

Hmm. Wonder why?

rentzington

hmm let me check my paypal account......nope not enough

Thrilla

Wow! Jim's SLS is epic.

CarHopper

Missed it by that much huh.

rentzington

yup, so close.

papashango

I don't get it. The add says $280K new with $40K in upgrades and save huge. Yet, the price it's listed for is $370K....insane car nonetheless.

This looks like pretty good value...

CarHopper

^ Have you seen the video of what the LaFerrari does to a Veyron? Mean nasty things.

papashango

Nope...there was some American vehicle company that beat the Veyron's top speed record as well. The name escapes me right now.

rentzington

Hennessey

which is essentially a fancy lotus made in texas.

JeffDL

i think he's thinking of this, SSC ultimate aero. it beat the bug for a top speed but i personally think the car is a mess and nothing more than a kit car.

papashango

Yes the SSC. I think Bugatti released the GT version or whatever they call it to regain its title on top. lol

ToXicXxX

Hennessy makes more then the Venom (fancy lotus).

rentzington

yah, was referring to the venom which is a lotus with a vette engine
most of their stuff is mods for high performance cars, the venom is the only one i know of thats actually the hennessy name

Ingenieur

The venom did not do a 2 way averaged run
The veyron has gone faster on a one way run but the rules require a 2 way avg

rediesel

I want it!!! PM me to arrange pickup.

Ingenieur

Cool calculator http://warped.org/vw/calc.html
Doesn't have our car though

2 mph at 270 mph takes 50-60 hp
So for a given speed a car with a 2 mph tailwind vs a car with a 2 mph headwind (4 mph total) needs 100-120 hp less to achieved 270 mph

MaroonC63

Jr has the sickest cars. Never like the rims on that beast though. To each his own! Lucky buyer out there!

Autosport7

Kept all the other AMG's wonder why he's not keeping this one...?

CarHopper

My thoughts exactly. He isn't afraid to let us know he has to capital and space to house the toys. So why not keep the rarest of the rare red BS SLS? Interesting.

rjej84

Who's is this Jr?

Ingenieur

His wife probably gave him orders lol
With the proceeds
A new z06 110k
A new c63s 90k
And a new GT S 150k
All clear titles
Not a bad exchange

rickclass

I think "IF" (and that's a big if) he sells that beauty, it will be more exotic than the vehicles mentioned above to complement his new GT edition 1.

Ingenieur

He was talking about a z06 as a cheap track car

The GT S and GT edition 1 are basically the same car
The difference is a trim package

papashango

He mentioned on PL that he has the GT on order.
