RACETIMER???

They say you learn something new every day, I just stumbled upon this article and a built in racetimer/laptimer in the Black Series is news to me. Unfortunately I am in Chicago and the Black Series is down in Dallas right now otherwise I would just go down to the garage and check for myself, does anyone elses car have a laptimer? I can't belive I never discovered it on my own, I'm always fiddling with stuff.

Yes, you need to page-through the center gauge screens with the steering wheel buttons till you get to a screen with "L1" on it. I forget how, but you push another button to start the timer. It is only accurate to 1 second, which is somewhat useless to a real racer who is looking to shave-off tenths of a second.

My understanding is all 2007 and older 63 AMG models have it. I know the E63, CLS63, and SL63 definitely have them but haven't confirmed on the S63 and CL63 yet

Thanks for the feeddback, sounds like a cool feature, but a laptimer that only breaks at full second increments is sorta like a umbrella made of fishnet...totally useless.

Looks like the lap timer only increments in seconds. This is not very useful for 0-60 measurements.
I noticed there were red seconds marked on the clock face. Does anybody know what those are for? There is no second-hand in the clock and why are there red second marks in the clock face? Can it be used as a Chronograph?
